Nightmare

Lyrics

Ride, ride, nightmare Ride into the night Ride, ride, nightmare Until the morning light Had my usual nightmare Same again last night Rode the devil's horses I woke up in a fright My woman there beside me Said "What's wrong with you, Joe?" I said "Don't worry, darling The nightmare's sure to go" I must ride, ride, nightmare Ride into the night Ride, ride, nightmare Until the morning light It's a pretty woman Put this spell on me Since I married Sarah Just a-lying here with me Cursed me when I told her "Don't ever sleep alone" Now every night I'm with her And I'm never on my own I must ride, ride, nightmare Ride into the night Ride, ride, nightmare Until the morning light I must ride, ride, nightmare Ride into the night Ride, ride, nightmare Until the morning light Sarah went a-calling Just the other side of town By twelve she had come home, yeah So I went to bed alone Well my nightmare soon woke me Reality was worse The pretty woman's horses Were waiting with a purse Ride, ride, nightmare Ride into the night Ride, ride, nightmare Until the morning light
