about

I have noticed a surprising lack of Bluegrass in the fandom. Here is my beginning attempt to fix that :). The tune is an old bluegrass tune by the name of The Wabash Cannonball, popularized by Roy Acuff among others. It is an amazing folk song with an amazing history. Google it.
Thanks to my parents for help recording it, singing it, and performing it.

This is the second pony song I have written. Still getting accustomed to the recording software and uploading process. I hope to have more interesting images later.


******UPDATE: Panning should be Fixed. Also updated artwork.******

The Friendship Express

Skypause

From Manehattan down to BaltimAre and Appaloosa by the way
To the states along the ocean where the sea…ponies play
There’s a well-known locomotive that traverses all terrain
When you board The Friendship Express you only stand to gain

There’s a mail mare down in Ponyville her eyes are off the wall
She flies the mail from here to there and is loved by one and all
The only line she trusts to make deliveries on time
The Friendship Express to Ponyville can always make the climb


Chorus:
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
Smell the ash rise from the smokestack as in days of yore
May the iron horse I speak of always have success
The one best way to travel is on the Friendship Express


Break


From Stallion-grad to Canterlot the ponies always say
It’s the best way to travel by both night and day
The fillies come from miles around when they hear that whistle blow
The Friendship Express to Ponyville is the only way to go

Raise your glass to Spike the Dragon for the crystal heart he saved
The crystal ponies thank him now that they are not enslaved
Sombra now is beaten and the mares are headed home
On the Friendship Express to Ponyville over hill and dale to roam


Chorus:
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
Smell the ash rise from the smokestack as in days of yore
May the iron horse I speak of always have success
The one best way to travel is on the Friendship Express

Break


Chorus:
Listen to the jingle the rumble and the roar
Smell the ash rise from the smokestack as in days of yore
May the iron horse I speak of always have success
The one best way to travel is on the Friendship Express
