I Ride An Old Paint

I ride an old paint I lead an old Dan



I'm off to Montan' for to throw the hooley ann



They feed in the coulees they water in the draw



Their tails're all matted their backs're all raw



Ride around little dogies ride around slow the fiery

and snuffy are raring to go



Bill Johns had two daughters Bill Johns had a song



One went to Denver and the other went wrong



His wife she died in a poolroom fight



Still he keeps singing from morning till night



Ride around little dogies ride around then slow the

fiery and snuffy are raring to go



[ piano ]



When I die take my saddle from the wall put it on my

pony lead him out of the stall



Throw my bones on his back turn our faces to the west



And we'll ride the prairie that we love the best



Ride around little dogies ride around then slow the

fiery and snuffy are raring to go
