[Verse 1]
I ride on Old Paint, I lead an old Dan
I'm going 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

[Chorus]
Ride around little dogies, ride around slow
For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go

[Verse 2]
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 'til night

[Chorus]
Ride around little dogies, ride around then slow
For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When I die, take my saddle from the wall
Put it on my pony, lead him out of the stall
Tie my bones to his back, turn our faces to the west
And we'll ride the prairie that we love the best
[Chorus]
Ride around little dogies, ride around then slow
For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go
