Dogie’s Lament

[Verse 1]
As I was out walkin' one mornin' for pleasure
I spied a cow puncher a-ridin' along
His hat was thrown back and his spurs were a-jinglin'
And as he approached he was singin' this song

[Chorus]
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little dogie
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little dogie
You know that Wyoming will be your new home

[Verse 2]
It's early in the spring when they round up the dogies
We mark 'em and brand 'em and bob off their tails
Round up the horses, load up the chuck wagon
Then send the dogies out on the long tail

[Chorus]
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little dogie
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little dogie
You know that Wyoming will be your new home

[Verse 3]
Your mother was raised a-way down in Texas
Where the Jimsonweed and the sandburs grow
We'll feed you up on prickly pear and cholla
And then send you loping to old Idaho

[Chorus]
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little dogie
It's your misfortune and none of my own
Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little dogie
You know that Wyoming will be your new home

[Outro]
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
