They rode the fastest horses
Left the wind behind
Thousand men
And one man led the way
The others followed by
Genghis Khan
 
They gallopped over mountains and desert-sands
They carried desolation throughout the land
And nothing there could stop them in this world
Hey, ha...
 
Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan
Hey, rider; ho, rider; go, rider
Let us follow
Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan
Hey, brother; ho, brother; hey, brother
Hear us holler
 
Who cares where we're going
Ho, ho, ho, ho...
There's no way of knowing
Ho, ho, ho, ho...
And we'll let the devil take our souls
 
He was the greatest lover
And the strongest man
Of his day
And we have heard that
All the women fell for him
So they say

And he bred seven children in one whole night
He had his girls around him at his very sight
And nothing that could stop him in this world
Hey, ho...
 
Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan
Hey, rider; ho, rider; go, rider
Let us follow
Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan
Hey, brother; ho, brother; hey, brother
Hear us holler
 
Who cares where we're going
Ho, ho, ho, ho...
There's no way of knowing
Ho, ho, ho, ho...
And we'll let the devil take our souls
 
Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan
Hey, rider; ho, rider; go, rider
Let us follow
Gen... Gen... Genghis Khan
Hey, brother; ho, brother; hey, brother
Hear us holler
 
You can hear his laughter
Ho, ho, ho, ho...
There's no way of knowing
Ho, ho, ho, ho...
And we'll let the devil take our souls.
