Up the hill off 26
Above the orange creek from the mines
Beech Run's folk-a simple life
Almost paradise
Grandpap said to watch out for bears
Never seen one near or far
I only saw the devil who lived in the pony barn
I only saw the devil who lived in the pony barn
Ramps in Spring, sledding at night
Winter moon at its peak
Fishing ponds catching newts in reeds
Shucking corn for chicken feed
Mom said copperheads'll do you in
Rarely seen one near or far
But I always saw the devil who lived in the pony barn
I always saw the devil who lived in the pony barn
The big farm house each holiday
Filled with family from afar
Playing football in the hay fields
When the hunters rifles start
Pap yelled he needs a half a cup
Only raised voice I heard apart
From the screams because the devil who lived in the pony barn
From the screams because the devil who lived in the pony barn
