Poor man, rich man, beggar man, thief
They all keeping bad company
All riding with time on our side
Thinking that we're too young to die
Poor man whining I need something to eat
He felt a hand in his pocket it was a thief
There lay the dice in the palm of his hand
Showed the number of every man
One and one and one and one more
Yeah, the numbers they make four
Pony, pony come on let's ride
Ride with me on into the night
I'll trade you these diamonds for a ticket to ride
Take these rings they'll fetch a good price
Well I'm only a beggar I got nothing to trade
Listen here to what I got to say
I've seen the future and I'm still around
One of you is going down
Well, it must be a poor man 'cause it can't be me
Quick as lightning poor man killed the thief
One and one and one is three
That were left standing around the dead thief
One and one and one is three
There's a rich man, a poor man, and a beggar on his knees
Your diamonds they can't save you now
His blade spoke and spit blood on the ground
One and one, that's just two
Poor man a beggar don't know what to do
Pony, pony come on let's ride
Get out of here into the night
Let's throw the dice for our destiny
See who's standing who will it be
I'll call my number he said with a grin
Let it fall right now let's see who has sinned
Pony, pony come on let's ride
Pony, pony on through the night
The dice went spinning, the blade flashed in the night
Three was shining in the dead man's eyes
A rich man, a thief, and a beggar too
Left poor man standing with blood on his shoes
The meek shall inherit, and so shall the poor
The kingdom of heaven, the keys to the door
All we have is time on our side
When that day comes, look death in the eyes
All we have is the time on our side
When that day comes, face death with a smile
Pony, pony come on let's ride
Pony, pony on through the night
Get out of here and into the night
