A -rict -a -mariddle,
I'm a -rict -a -marie,
Chow -willy -wee.
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 redhead gal my bride.
A -rict -a -mariddle,
I'm a -rict -a -marie,
Chow -willy -wee.
Someone else has been here
since you've gone
Chow Willie, Chow Willie
Stranger in the town and
his name is John
Chow Willie, wee
Stranger in the town and
his name is John
He was dressed in black
with his new boots on
Um -rick, um -a -riddle,
um -a -rick, um -a -ree
Chow Willie, wee
As I was a -ridin' I met the man
Chow Willie, Chow Willie
Black was his suit and his boots were tan
Chow Willie, wee
Black was his suit
and his boots were tan
When I sent him a bullet away, he ran
Arricta marital, I'm Ar ricta Marie
Ciao, willy, wee!
Willie, will you buy me a
wedding gown?
Ciao, willy, ciao, willy!
Shouldn't be blue and it
shouldn't be brown
Ciao, willy, wee!
Shouldn't be blue and it
shouldn't be brown
But it must be white
and the best in town
Arricta marital, I'm Ar ricta Marie
Ciao, willy, wee!
Chow Willie, Chow Willie,
Chow Willie -wee
Rick on the riddle, I'm a Rick on the reed,
Chow Willie -wee
I could never buy you a gown like that,
Chow Willie, Chow Willie
Johnny got me jewels and
a feathered hat,
Chow Willie -wee
Johnny did things that he shouldn't,
rats all saddled my horse,
and that is that.
A -rick -a -mariddle,
I'm a -rick -a -maree,
chow -witty, chow -witty wee!
