THE RIDE.
Heigh-ho, the world is green today(Steady, my boy, stand still!)Old Fool-Heart sings his roundelayRides not his Love a-down yon way?(Steady, my boy, stand still,And you shall have your will!)You see him do you Open-Eyed,(Steady, my boy, stand still!)You beckon him unto your side,In with the spur then, after ride!(Faster, my lad, oh still,Catch Her a-top the hill!)—John Mack, Jr.

Heigh-ho, the world is green today
(Steady, my boy, stand still!)
Old Fool-Heart sings his roundelay
Rides not his Love a-down yon way?
(Steady, my boy, stand still,
And you shall have your will!)
You see him do you Open-Eyed,(Steady, my boy, stand still!)You beckon him unto your side,In with the spur then, after ride!(Faster, my lad, oh still,Catch Her a-top the hill!)
You see him do you Open-Eyed,
(Steady, my boy, stand still!)
You beckon him unto your side,
In with the spur then, after ride!
(Faster, my lad, oh still,
Catch Her a-top the hill!)
