See See Rider, see what you have done,
Oh yes, you made me love you, now your man's done gone.
See See Rider, see what you have done.

See, See See mama, why did you lie to me? Oh yes you did!
See See Rider, why did you lie to me?
You swore that you loved me, still had your “used to be.”

I'm gonna buy me a shotgun, just as long as I am tall.
I'm gonna buy me a shotgun, long as I am tall.
I'm gonna shoot you pretty woman, you ‘s the cause of it all.

‘Cause I'd rather lay my head, on some lonesome railroad track.
Yes, I'd rather lay my head, on some lonesome railroad track.
And let that train take my life, rather than to have you back.

Goin' up on that mountain, holler like a mountain jack.
Yes, I'm goin' up on that mountain, holler like a mountain jack
I'm goin' to try my best, to call my big-legged woman back.

‘Cause I'm gonna leave you See See Rider, I won't be back until fall.
Yes, I'm gonna leave you, pretty woman, I won't be back till fall.
If I find me a bowlegged woman, I won't be back home at all.
