I had a pony, her name was Lucifer,
She broke her leg and needed shooting,
I swear it hurt me more than it coulda hurted her.
Sometimes I wonder what's going on with Miss X,
Sometimes I wonder what's going on with Miss X,
She got such a sweet disposition
I never know what the poor girl's gonna do to me next.
I got a new pony, she knows how to foxtrot, lope, and pace,
Well, I got a new pony, she knows how to foxtrot, lope, and pace,
She got great big hind legs,
Long, black, shaggy hair hanging in her face.
Everybody says you're using voodoo, I've seen your feet walk by themselves,
Oh, well, everybody says you're using voodoo, I've seen your feet walk by themselves,
Oh, baby, but that god that you been praying to
Gonna give you back what you wishing on someone else.
Come over here, pony, I wanna climb up one time on you,
Well, come over here, pony, I wanna climb up one time on you,
You know––so nasty and you're so bad,

But I swear I love you, yes, I do.

I am not sure what happens in this line: as it is, it's of course ungrammatical, so it could be that the transcription is just incorrect, but I think that the most likely explanation is that Dylan starts the line incorrectly and then has to get back on track part of the way through.
