Lyrics
Refrain:
Give me the reins
There’s pep in my veins
Onward Westward, ho!
Hi-yo, Silver, Ho-yo!
Over the trail, hill or dale
Swift as wind we’ll go
Hi-yo, Silver, Ho-yo!
Gid-day-ap, Gid-day-ap
Gid-day-ap, Gid-day-ap
We must prevent that crime
Gid-day-ap, Gid-day-ap
Gid-day-ap, Gid-day-ap
We’ll get there in the nick of time
Under the sky we will fly
A hunting we will go
Hi-yo, Silver, Ho-yo!
(extra chorus, from 78rpm record by Dick Robertson & his Orchestra)
Gimme that whip!
We’re takin’ a trip off to meet the foe!
Hi-yo, Silver, Hi-yo!
Takin’ it high, he may fly
Don’t give him a show!
Hi-yo, Silver, Hi-yo!
Giddayap, Giddayap, Giddayap, Giddayap!
That ruthless fiend is wild.
Giddayap, Giddayap, Giddayap, Giddayap!
We must get there to save the child!
Pick up that gait, sure as fate
We’ll make him rue the day!
Hi-yo, Silver, Hi-yo!
