I Ride an Old Paint

[Verse 1]
I ride an old paint, lead an old dam
Goin' to Montana to throw the houlihan
Feed 'em in the coulees, and water in the draw
Tails are all matted and their backs are all raw

[Chorus]
Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow
They're fiery and snuffy and a-rarin' to go

[Verse 2]
Old Bill Jones had two daughters and a song
One went to college, and the other went wrong
His wife got killed in a free-for-all fight
Still, he keeps singin' from mornin' till night

[Chorus]
Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow
They're fiery and snuffy and a-rarin' to go

[Verse 3]
I've worked in your town, worked on your farm
And all I got to show is thе muscle in my arm
Blisters on my feet, and the callous on my hand
And I'm a-goin' to Montana to throw thе houlihan

[Chorus]
Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow
They're fiery and snuffy and a-rarin' to go

[Verse 4]
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
We'll ride the prairie that we loved the best

[Chorus]
Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow
They're fiery and snuffy and a-rarin' to go

[Chorus]
Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow
They're fiery and snuffy and a-rarin' to go
