Go harness up my milk white steed
My bonnie brown is not so speedy
I'll ride all night and I'll ride all day
Till I overtake my lady

He rode as far as Pittsburgh, O
And there he spied his lady
With one arm around her baby, O
And the other around her Brady

O why did you leave your husband dear
O why did you leave your baby
O why did you leave your pretty little home
To roam with Harrison Brady

I never loved you in my life
I neverloved your baby
I married you against my will
And I'll roam with Harrison Brady

Last night I slept in my downy bed
and in my arms my baby
Tonight I'll sleep in the Pittsburgh jail
In the arms of Harrison Brady
