When I was very little my mother would sing The Ponyman to me, and it has always been one of my favorite songs of all time. I hear it and feel very comforted. I probably wouldn't even know who Gordon Lightfoot was if I didn't know that song.
Now I'm a mother too, and my little baby boy lights up when he hears The Ponyman.
My kids-- my seven year old daughter in particular-- love to hear The Pony Man. It's a great bed-time song. I put their names in the line "and as we gaily walk along beside a rippling sea, there's ...". With six kids, parents, grandparents, friends, and pets it sometimes seems longer than the rest of the song.
