I Ride An Old Paint Songtext / Lyric

I ride an old Paint, I'm leadin' old Dan

I'm goin' 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 rarin' to go






Old Bill Jones had two daughters and a song

One went to Denver, the other went wrong

His wife, she died in a poolroom fight

But still he keeps singing from morning to night



Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow

For they're fiery and snuffy and rarin' to go



When I die, take my saddle from the wall

And put it on my pony and lead him from his stall

Tie my bones to his back, turn our faces to the west

And we'll ride the prairies that we love the best



Ride around, little dogies, ride around them slow

For they're fiery and snuffy and rarin' to go
