Betty came from a family farming hay
A cross section of de Mid-Western states
Read her bible throughout the day
Hemmed her skirt and then she looked a flirt
She said, Hay babe
Hitch your love on a hay ride

Randy came from out of Alaska
In the backwoods he was every ladies rascal
But he never lost his chaste
Even when he was giving chase
Hey says, hey babe
Hitch your love on a hay ride
And the cracker girls go
Boop boo boop boo boop boo boo boop

Bobbie Joe never once gave it away
Every suitor had to date and wait
A giggle here and a cuddle there
Kansass City's the place where they said, Hey babe
Hitch your love on a hay ride
They said, Hey Joe
Hitch your love on a Hay ride

Roscoe P. Coltrain came to wed his chick
Listened'for church bells in the steeple's tip
Went-- to-- the--church--chappel
You should've heard 'em schnell, schnell, schnell
He said hey Puddin'
Hitch your love on a hay ride
She said, hey babe
Hitch you love on a hay ride
All right, huh

Johnie was just shooting away
Thought he was John Wayne for the day
Then I guess he took a bath
Little ladies crossed his path
Said, hey babe
Hitch a ride on the hay ride
He said, Hey pilgrim,
Hitch a ride on a hay ride
And the cracker girls say,
Boop boo boop boo boop boo boo boop
