Verse 1
How could I ride if I had but a horse!
My mother cried, 'Take the bull in the close,'
Refrain
So I took the old bull and he cocked up his tail,
And away I went in a storm of hail.
Verse 2
How could I ride if I had but a bridle!
My mother she bid me not to be so idle.
Refrain
Verse 3
How could I ride if I had but a saddle!
My mother she cried, 'Take the rags out of the cradle.'
Refrain
Verse 4
How could I ride if I had but some spurs!
My mother cried, 'Take the nails out of the doors.'
Refrain
