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 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
