Lyrics
I said, see, see see rider
Oh, see what you have done
I said, see, see see rider
Oh, see what you have done
Oh girl, you made me love you
Now, now, now your lovin' man has gone
Hear what I say
Well, I'm going away, baby
And I won't be back 'til fall
Well, I'm going away, baby
And I won't be back 'til fall
And if I find me a good girl
I won't, I won't, I won't be back at all
Hear what I say
I said, see, see see rider
Oh, see what you have done
I said, see, see see rider
Oh, see what you have done
Oh girl, you made me love you
Now, now, now your lovin' man has gone
Ho, hear what I say
I said, see, see see rider
Oh, see what you have done
I said, see, see see rider
Oh, see what you have done
Oh girl, you made me love you
Now, now, now your lovin' man has gone
Hear what I say
Well, I said, see, see see rider
I said, see, see see rider
I said, see, see see rider
I said, see, see see rider
I said, see, see see rider
I said, see
