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 head   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 river   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
