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
