[Intro: music rif] [Verse] Silas walked out past the gate Where the brambles lean and sway In the midst of the alder shade He saw three shapes in the gray Silas stood there quiet and still Like a keeper of the tale Three wild colors among the trees Of green and black and blue… Standing still in shadows hue.. Then the branches seemed to bend And the grass bowed low for them Silas held his breath, and then.. Saw three wild horses from within… Oooooaaaa…. [Verse] Shad-Dabber lifts his green head high Clipper-clop is black as night Doody-Do blinks blue as the sky Then the three start tapping feet They only speak to children sweet And let them ride in fields near by…. [Interlude: horse riding music rif] [Pre-Chorus] Silas rides, Silas rides.. Through the clover, side by side ShadDabber, Clipper-clop Doody-Do can never stop… [Chorus] Shad-Dabber, Shad-Dabber Clipper-Clop, Doody-Do (Shad-Dabber, Shad-Dabber) The children know what to do As wild in the fields they flew…. [verse] every child who heard them call Would laugh and run outside Past the shrubs and over stone For their moonlit, exciting ride… Ooooooaaaaa... [Verse] By early dawn, at the mountain stream They drank deep and galloped home To eat Strawberry ice cream, Green peppers And their sweet Lemon aid later on…. [Chorus] Shad-Dabber, Shad-Dabber Clipper-Clop, Doody-Do (Shad-Dabber, Shad-Dabber) The children loved to ride Wild in the fields they flew…. [Final Chorus] Silas rides, Silas rides… Through the clover, side by side ShadDabber, Clipper-clop Doody-Do can never stop… Ride, Silas ride…. Ooooooaaaaa... Ride, Silas ride.... [outro: soft happy music with the sound of horses clip-clopping away] ------------------------------------ Lyrics © 2026 written by Carolyn, storyline by grandson https://suno.com/@shapenotes
