Capo 2

C                       G 
When I was a very young man 
        C           G
I was a cowboy, the best in the land 
             G              G7      C            A7
But then she settled me down with a touch of her hand 
        G           D
Now I'm begging you mister
     C         G
Tell me if you can 


Chorus:
      C                      G
Which way does that old pony run 
      C                      G
Which way does that old pony run 
        G            G7
And how much is that saddle 
      C                 A7
And a straight shooting gun 
      G             D        G
Which way does that old pony run 


Now a young girl, she don't know when she's lying 
But a woman, great God, she knows how its done 
So mama before I go, there's just one thing on my mind 
Which way does that old pony run 


Chorus 

So this good life you know I must leave 
Your new car and your color TV 
But what's riches to you, just ain't riches to me 
And if you're staying out here 
Then I'm headed back east 

Chorus
