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
