[Verse 1]
Over the hills and over the mountains
Over the ridges high and low
See the dust and listen to the thunder
Look at them wild horses go
[Chorus]
Run, come along, my pretty little thing
Run, come along, my darlin'
Run, come along, we’ll take a little trip
Over the hills to Harlan
[Verse 2]
Round the bend comes old ninety-seven
Hear her holler, hear her strain
Horses screaming, paw for heaven
Running a race with the railroad train
[Chorus]
Oh, run, come along, my pretty little thing
Run, come along, my darlin'
Run, come along, we'll take a little trip
Over the hills to Harlan
[Verse 3]
Out of the way, you’ll get run over
Wild things never will bear the rein
Fly defenses, smash the clover
Out of the way, they're gone again
[Chorus]
Oh, run, come along, my pretty little thing
Run, come along, my darlin'
Run, come along, we'll take a little trip
Over the hills to Harlan
[Verse 4]
Wind in the main and the devil in the saddle
Fire in the hoof and blood in the eye
Who knows, who knows where they're going
But look at them wild horses fly
[Chorus]
Oh, run, come along, my pretty little thing
Run, come along, my darlin'
Run, come along, we'll take a little trip
Over the hills to Harlan
Oh, run, come along, my pretty little thing
Run, come along, my darlin'
Run, come along, we’ll take a little trip
Over the hills to Harlan
