I ride an old paint i'm leading old dan

I'm going to montana just to throw the houlihan

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 they're fiery and snuffy and raring to go

Old bill jones had a daughter and a son

Son went to college and his daughter went wrong

His wife got killed in a free-for-all fight

Still he keeps singing from morning 'til night

Ride around little dogies ride around them slow

For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go

When i die take my saddle from the wall

Put it on to my pony lead him out of his stall

Tie my bones on his back and turn our faces to the west

We'll ride the prairies that we love the best

Ride around little dogies ride around them slow

For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go

I've worked in a town and i've worked in the farms

All i've got to shows just this muscle in my arm

Blisters on my feet callous on my hand

And i'm goin' to montana to throw the houlihan

Ride around little doggies ride around them slow

For the firey and snuffy are raring to go

Ride around little doggies ride around them slow

For the firey and snuffy are raring to go
