She comes down from Yellow Mountain

On a dark flat land she rides

On a pony she named Wildfire

With a whirlwind by her side

On a cold Nebraska night



Oh they say she died one winter

When there came a killin' frost 

And the pony she name Wildfire

Busted down his stall

In a blizzard he was lost



She ran calling Wildfire

She ran calling Wildfire

She ran calling Wildfire



By the dark of the moon I planted

But there came an early snow

There's been a hoot owl howlin' by my window now

For six nights in a row

She's coming for me I know

And on Wildfire we're both gonna go



We'll be riding Wildfire

We'll be riding Wildfire

We'll be riding Wildfire



On wildfire we're gonna ride, oh

We're gonna leave sodbustin' behind 

Get these hard times right on out of our minds 

Riding Wildfire
