Back In the Saddle by Aerosmith
It was released in 1976 in their album Rocks
Fun fact: A real bullwhip was intended to be used for the whip effects and hours were spent trying to get it to crack. The band members ended up cut up and hurt without making any progress. Eventually, the band decided the whip effects would be created by whirling a 30-foot cord from the studio, then by firing a cap gun to create the crack of the whip (the sound effects are more prominent in the Quadraphonic mix of the album).

Sail snapped and filled with wind as the longship surged away, riding whitecapped waves. Dendean hung from the prow in cavalier defiance searching the south and got a face full of cold northern water for his daring, his laughter enticed a steamy plume from his muzzle and he pulled back and shook his sable fur, ridding it of rime and salt water in a riotous flurry of drops; to the laughter and jeers of his crew. He turned to them then, his kindred hunters of his, and addressed them "The Grey Hart has escaped us today… " He called over the wash of surf and gestured to the plunder weighing the vessel down “...But he felt our fangs!” he rumbled a laugh at the drews drumming. He settled them with a raised claw “We’re going to return to Grizzly Hills and home. Those who are on contract will have to remain behind for this hunt will take time, and then those who wish to remain and those we recruit along the way will head to the southlands to pursue our prey and unload our spoils…” he continued to issue orders for awhile longer until at last he hunkered back down against the savage simulacrum that was the prow, azure gaze turned back toward the south, he would need to find a merchant or a company to exchange the goods, he'd also need to help picking the Harts trail and perhaps he would find a southern doe to sink his fangs into; he sat beneath the beasts and scintillating northern lights and brooded on hunts to come.
