VERSE ONE
Ab     C#                   Ab
In the moonlight,... by the river
       Eb7             Ab
By the hon--ey--suckle vine
         C#                   Ab
We'll be ridin',..peepin' and hidin'

Well, I got the hoss and you got the saddle
We gonna ride side by side
Whoa, I got the hoss and she got the saddle
Together we gonna ride, ride, ride

Hey baby!...Let's stop for a little while
Ab
I need to give my old hoss a rest
Ab
And you know they ain't no use
Ab                                          Ab
In us...tryin' to wear out your brand new...saddle


VERSE TWO
Ab       C#                Ab
Hear the cricketts singin' softly
      Eb7             Ab
Never heard a sweeter sound
             C#                 Ab
And you know cricketts do their singin'
        Eb7                Ab
By just rubbin' their legs around

CHORUS REPEAT
Ab                       C#                 Ab     
Well, I got the hoss and she got the saddle

We like to ride side by side
      Ab               C#                Ab

Together we gonna ride, ride, ride
