Lyrics
Easy rider, see what you done done (2)
You made me love you, now your man done come.
And it’s hey, hey, hey, hey.

If you catch me stealin’ please don’t tell on me (2)
I’m stealin’ back to my old time used-to-be.
And it’s hey, hey, hey, hey.

If I was catfish swimmin’ in the deep blue sea (2)
I would start all you women divin’ after me.
And it’s ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Easy rider, hear me callin’ you,
Ooh, hear me callin’ you.
Know you’re three times seven, know just what you want to do.
And it’s ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

(additional verse from RCA recording)
Every time I would see you, you was holding out your hand, baby,
Every time I would see you holding out your hand (2)
And it’s hey, hey, hey, hey.
