Lyrics: Otto Harbach/Oscar Hammerstein II/Frank Mandel
Music: Sigmund Romberg
Over the ground
There comes a sound
It is the drum-drum-drum of hoofbeats in the sand
Tremble with fear
If you are near
It is the thunder of the Shadow and his band
And all who plunder learn to understand
The cry of "Ho!"
So we sing as we are riding
Ho!
It′s the time you'd best be hiding
Lo!
It means the Riffs are abroad
Go!
Before you′ve bitten the sword
Ho!
That's the sound that comes to warn you
So!
In the night or early morn
You know!
If you're the Red Shadow′s foe
The Riffs will strike with a blow
That brings you woe
The cry of "Ho!"
That′s the sound that comes to warn you
So!
In the night or early morn
You know!
If you're the Red Shadow′s foe
The Riffs will strike with a blow
That brings you woe!
