This one hasn't been mentioned. Easy chords that I never transcribed, since I knew them:
PONY MAN
By Gordon Lightfoot
(first & last)
When it's midnight on the meadow and the cats are in the shed,
And the river tells a story at the window by my bed;
If you listen very closely, be as quiet as you can,
In the yard you'll hear him, he is the Pony Man.
We're always there to great him when he tumbles into town,
He leads a string of ponies, some are white and some are brown.
And they never seem to kick or bite, they only want to play,
And they live on candy apples instead of oats and hay.
And when we are assembled, he gives us our command,
And we climb aboard our ponies as in a row they stand.
Then down the road we gallop and across the field we fly,
And soon we all go sailing off into the midnight sky.
And as we gaily walk along beside a ripplin' sea,
There's Tom and Dick and Sally, and Mary Jo and me,
And the Pony Man is leading cause he's traveled here before,
And a give a whoop and holler at Mister Moon's front door.
And then we stop to rest awhile where the soda river glides,
Up to the slip come the pirate ship to take us for a ride.
And the Pony Man's the captain and the children are the crew,
And we go in search of treasure and laugh the whole night through.
And when the hold is filled with gold, and the sailors begin to stray,
And the Deck's piled high with apple pie, we head for port again.
And down the whirling starcase, so swift our ponies fly,
And we're safely in our beds again when the sunbeams kiss the sky.
