Lyrics
(Boy) Borrow me a horse and away I ride,
Chow, Willy, chow, Willy.
Borrow me a whip and a saddle of hide,
Chow, Willy wee.
Borrow me a whip and a saddle of hide
And I’m gonna make a red-haired gal my bride.
Rigtumariddleuma, Rigtumaree.
Chow, Willy wee.

(Girl) Someone else has been here since you’ve gone,
Chow, Willy, chow, Willy.
Stranger in the town and his name is John,
Chow, Willy wee.
Stranger in the town and his name is John,
He was dressed in black with his new boots on.
Rigtumariddleuma, Rigtumaree.
Chow, Willy wee.

(Boy) As I was a-ridin’ I saw the man,
Chow, Willy, chow, Willy.
Dressed in black and his boots were tan,
Chow, Willy wee.
Dressed in black and his boots were tan,
When I sent him a bullet away he ran.
Rigtumariddleuma, Rigtumaree.
Chow, Willy wee.

(Girl) Willy, will you buy me a wedding gown?
Chow, Willy, chow, Willy.
Shouldn’t be blue and it shouldn‘t be brown,
Chow, Willy wee.
Shouldn’t be blue and it shouldn‘t be brown,
It must be white and the best in town.
Rigtumariddleuma, Rigtumaree.
Chow, Willy wee.

(Boy) I could never buy you a gown like that,
Chow, Willy, chow, Willy,
(Girl) Johnny bought me jewels and feathered hat,
Chow, Willy wee.
(Boy) Johnny did things that he shouldn’t, the rat,
So I’ll saddle my horse and that is that.
Rigtumariddleuma, Rigtumaree.
Chow, Willy wee.
