You know I'd walk a mile
Just to hear you hum
You been pickin' your persimmons
When will you give me some
I might forget the way
You took me for a ride
But I won't forget the day
You took me for a ride
CHORUS:
I went bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Why do you play games with love, dear
Why do you play games
Kickin' up the cowcakes
What a wild surprise
Scarin' up a murder
Just to hear their cries
It's a gift to be simple
It's a gift to be free
But for pretty pearls of mother's love
Your gift to me
Was bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
I seduced you
You seduced me
You drive my engine
You caboose me
Hold me tight
And don't turn loose me girl
Why do you play games with love, dear
Why do you play games
Just to hear you hum
You been pickin' your persimmons
When will you give me some
I might forget the way
You took me for a ride
But I won't forget the day
You took me for a ride
CHORUS:
I went bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Why do you play games with love, dear
Why do you play games
Kickin' up the cowcakes
What a wild surprise
Scarin' up a murder
Just to hear their cries
It's a gift to be simple
It's a gift to be free
But for pretty pearls of mother's love
Your gift to me
Was bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
Bareback ridin' with you
I seduced you
You seduced me
You drive my engine
You caboose me
Hold me tight
And don't turn loose me girl
Why do you play games with love, dear
Why do you play games
