Rode on dat ah ’lectric kyah!
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
No musstake it raised mah hyah!

Nebbah seed sech runnin’ son!
Swo’ we’s flyin’ to de sun!
Tho’t dis dahky’s days was dun!
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
Gee! dat thing did split de ah!
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
Nuffin’ wid it kin compah!
Oddah bin er long!
Ebbry thing wuz blurred in sight!
Dus’ flew higher den er kite!
Kooden’ tell de lef’ fum right!
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
When she struck eroun’ de kyerve,
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
It unstrung mah ebbry nerve!
Oh, but I did squirm!
Oh, she kyahd us down de line!
No hobo kood stuck behine!
Ef he had he’d gone stone bline!
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
Now an’ den she sortah reel!
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
Stirred me up fum head to heel!
Lawd but I did quake!

Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
Once I hyeahd er moighty crack!
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
Tho’t she’s gwine to leeb de track,

Tho’t dis dahky’s days was dun,
Wished I’d rode mah hoss!
