I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle

As I go ridin’ merrily along

And they sing, “Oh, ain’t you glad you’re single”

And that song ain’t so very far from wrong

Oh, Lillie Belle

Though I may have done some foolin’

This is why I never fell

I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle

As I go ridin’ merrily along

And they sing, “Oh, ain’t you glad you’re single”

And that song ain’t so very far from wrong

Oh, Mary Ann

Though we done some moonlight walkin’

This is why I up and ran

I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle

As I go ridin’ merrily along

And they sing, “Oh, ain’t you glad you’re single”

And that song ain’t so very far from wrong

So I’ll jingle on along
