Some say my lover's a sinful man

Some say my lover's a fiend

Who's ever been good to me
[Chorus]

So I'll ride with him, I'll ride with him

I'll ride with him in the morn

I'll ride with him right or wrong

And I'll take you to Paris or Rome

And we'll have some babies, one or two

I'll build you a beautiful home."

The yellow gold will be mine

And then we'll be gone in the morn, Bess

To live out the rest of our lives."

And I know my father would skin him alive
C
If he knew his intentions for me
F
But he can't see the good man inside
G
And how much he looks after me
C C7 F
Oh, I know he isn't an angel
If there's trouble, he's not far

But he has a heart of the purest gold
G C
Rarest I'm ever to find
[Chorus]
F C
So I'll ride with him, I'll ride with him
G C
I'll ride with him in the morn

Perhaps I'm just a foolish lass
C
But God can't help me above
F
For my wanting heart loves a wanted man
G C
I'll live and die for my outlawed love
