Hi Rena,
I learned "Ho,Young Rider" just as you did, except in the Girl Scouts. A friend of mine who is expert in Europeon songs found another verse. The two are arranged differently & go like this: Ho, young rider, apple-cheeked on, whither riding? On your steed so fine & prancing whither riding? What matters where I ride? Slovak mountains are my pride   Dusa moja
Ho, young rider, apple-cheeked one Whither riding? On your steed, so black & handsome. Whither riding? What matters where I roam? Slovak mountains are my home. Dusa moja, dusa moja. Hey!

He said dusa moja translates to "my love". The words seem to be Slovak. The tune dates to around 1607 & is the same family as "Hey Ho Nobody Home". So the tune is about 400 years old. I arrange the verses however I like, with the first verse as we learned it.
I hope this is helpful.
Best regards, WOL
