Lyrics
If I had a boat, I'd go out on the ocean If I had a pony, I'd ride him on my boat And we could all together go out on the ocean Me upon my pony on my boat If I were Roy Rogers, I surely would be single Couldn't bring myself to marryin' old Dale. It'd just be me and Trigger We'd go ridin't thru the movies We'd get a boat and on the sea we'd sail. The mystery masked man was smart and got himself a Tonto Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free Tonto he was smarter, one day said "Kemo Sabe, You can kiss my ass, I bought a boat, I'm goin' out to sea". If I were like lightnin' I wouldn't need no sneakers I'd come and go whenever I would please I'd scare 'em by the shady tree, I'd scare 'em by the light pole But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea.

Loved it! Never heard this song before. The Martin has a wonderful tone and your fingerstyle playing is delightful accompanyment to the lyric, which you share vocally with good emotion. Lyrically a real interesting tune. So simplistic...almost silly at times...brings a wonderful childlike aura to the song which speaks of innocence and daydreams and the magical world of make believe. Well done Geo, well done!
