So long, Sarah Jane
If some cowboy should invite you down the lane
Take my faithful pony, Ben
‘cos I always taught him when
To whoa, whoa, giddy up, whoa,
Giddy up, giddy up, whoa

So long, gal of mine
If some old hand tries to hand you some new line
Though my horse knows what to do
I must still depend on you
To whoa, whoa, giddy up, whoa,
Giddy up, giddy up, whoa

If they corner you in some corral
And they rope you, 
I hope you
Remember you’re my gal

So long, Sarah Jane
I must leave you with the prairie and the plain
Don’t be stayin’ out too late
And don’t open up that gate
Till I giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
Giddy up home

(so long, Sarah Jane
I must leave you with the prairie and the plain)
Just be careful as can be
And save all your love for me
Till I giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
Giddy up home
