NINE RED HORSEMEN
Eleanor Farjeon - Mexican Folk Tune

I saw nine red horsemen
Riding over the plain,
And each held his charger
By his long flowing mane.

Refrain:
Ho hillo, hillo, hillo ho!
Ho hillo, hillo, hillo ho!
Ho hillo, hillo, hillo ho!
Ho hillo, hillo, hillo ho!

Their hair streamed behind them,
And their eyes were a-shine;
They all rode as one man,
Though I knew there were nine.

Refrain

Their spurs clinked and jingled,
And their laughter was gay,
And in the red sunset
They all galloped away.
