Howdy, my friend would you like to go riding | |
On the fastest of ponies that ever did run | |
Jump up in my saddle and hold the reins easy | |
We'll outride the wind and we'll outrun the sun. | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, set high in my saddle | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, you'll fly o'er the grass | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, we'll jump this tall fence rail | |
No rider can trail us, no rider can pass. | |
My hat and my scarf they blow back in the hard wind | |
His hooves pound the ground like a fast Indian drum | |
We jump the big ditch and he comes down so easy | |
He outruns the wild wind back home to his barn | |
He runs even faster back home to his barn. | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, set tight in my saddle | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, you'll fly o'er the grass | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, we'll jump this tall fence rail | |
No rider can trail us, no rider can pass. | |
Set tight in my saddle, we'll pass this wild rabbit | |
We’ll out fly that wild bird that rides on the wind | |
When he's back in his lot, you can comb and rub him | |
The fastest of ponies that ever did run | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, set tight in my saddle | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, you'll fly o'er the grass | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, we'll jump this tall fence rail | |
No rider can trail us, no rider can pass, | |
No rider can trail us, no rider can pass. |

Set tight in my saddle, we' ll pass this wild rabbit | |
We' ll out fly that wild bird that rides on the wind | |
When he' s back in his lot, you can comb and rub him | |
The fastest of ponies that ever did run | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, set tight in my saddle | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, you' ll fly o' er the grass | |
Tee roodle, tee ridle, we' ll jump this tall fence rail | |
No rider can trail us, no rider can pass, | |
No rider can trail us, no rider can pass. |
