My wild love went ridin' 
 She rode all the day 
 She wrote to the devil 
 And asked him to pay 
 The devil was wiser 
 It's time to repent 
 He asked her to give back 
 The money she spent 

 My wild love went ridin' 
 She rode to the sea 
 She gathered together 
 Some shells for her hair 
 She rode and she rode on 
 She rode for a while 
 Then stopped for an evenin' 
 And lay her head down 

 She rode on to Christmas 
 She rode to the farm 
 She rode to Japan 
 And we entered a town 
 By this time the weather
 Had changed one degree 
 She asked for the people 
 To let her go free 

 My wild love is crazy 
 She screams like a bird 
 She moans like a cat 
 When she wants to be heard 
 My wild love went ridin' 
 She rode for an hour 
 She rode and she rested 
 And then she rode on 
 Ride, c'mon
