I've got a merry go round, little girl don't you want to ride? 
I've got a merry go round, now little girl, now don't you want to ride? 
Now don't be scared woman, oh Lord, Big Bill is by your side 
Ain't you tired of seesawing?, baby jump on my merry go round 
Ain't you tired of seesawing?, baby jump on my merry go round 
Now you ride with me one time, oh Lord and I declare you'll say you're heaven bound 
Play it, boy! 
Catch a good hold with your hand, baby, set your feet just right 
Catch a good hold with your hand, darling, set your feet just right 
I'm gonna give you a good ride baby, ooh Lord, I'm gonna try to dog my mind 
You want to ride easy, baby jump on my merry go round 
You want to ride easy, now jump on my merry go round 
Lord I declare it's made out of hickory wood woman, ooh Lord, you sure can't break her down
