My wild love went riding,
She rode all the day;
She rode 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 riding,
She rode to sea;
She gathered together
Some shells for her hair
She rode on to Christmas,
She rode to the farm;
She rode to Japan
And re-entered a town
My wild love is crazy
She screams like a bird;
She moans like a cat
When she wants to be heard
She rode and she rode on
She rode for a while,
Then stopped for an evening
And laid her head down
By this time the weather
Had changed one degree,
