I Ride an Old Paint Lyrics
I ride an old Paint, I lead an old Dan
I'm goin' to Montan' for to throw the hoolian. They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw
Their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw
Ride around, little dogies
Ride around them slow
For the fiery and snuffy are a-rarin' to go
Old Bill Jones had two daughters and a song
One went to Denver and the other went wrong
His wife she died in a poolroom fight
Still he sings from mornin' till night
Ride around, little dogies
Ride around them slow
For the fiery and snuffy are a-rarin' to go
Oh, when I die, take my saddle from the wall
Put it on my pony, lead him out of his stall
Tie my bones to his back, turn our faces to the West
And we'll ride the prairie that we love the best
