about

Traditional cowboy tune

lyrics

I ride an old paint
I lead an old dam
I'm going to Montana
To throw a houlihan
They feed in the coolies
They water in the draw
Their tails are all matted
Their backs are all raw

Ride around little doggies
Ride around slow
For the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go

Old Bill Jones
Had a daughter and a son
One went to college
And the other he went wrong
His wife she died in a poolroom fight
Oh but he keeps on singing from morning til night

Ride around little doggies
Ride around slow
For the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go

When I die
Take my saddle from the wall
Put it on my pony
Lead him from his stall
Tie my bones to his back
And turn our faces to the west
And we'll ride the prairie we love the best

Ride around little doggies
Ride around slow
For the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
Ride around little doggies
Ride around slow
For the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
