SEE SEE RIDER
See see rider, see what you have done, Lord, Lord, Lord Made me love you, now your gal has come You made me love you, now your gal has come
I'm goin' away, baby, I won't be back till fall, Lord, Lord, Lord Goin' away, baby, won't be back till fall If I find me a good man, won't be back at all
I'm gonna buy me a pistol, just as long as I am tall, Lord, Lord, Lord Shoot my man, and catch a cannonball If he won't have me, he won't have no gal at all
See See Rider, where did you stay last night? Lord, Lord, Lord Your shoes ain't buttoned and your clothes don't fit you right You didn't come home till the sun was shining bright
