I Ride an Old Paint

I Ride an Old Paint - Woody Guthrie

Written by：Trad ArrGuthrie

I ride an old paint

I 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

Ride around little doggies ride around them slow

They're fiery and snuffy and a rarin' to go

Old bill jones had two daughters and sun

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

Ride around little doggies ride around them slow

They're fiery and snuffy and a rarin' to go

When I die take my saddle from the wall

Place it on my old pony lead him out of

His stall

Tie my bones to my saddle and turn our faces

To the west

We'll ride the prairie we love the best

Ride around little doggies ride around them slow

They're fiery and snuffy and a rarin' to go

I've worked in your town worked on your farm

All I got to show is the muscle in my arm

Blisters on my feet

Callus on my hand

And I'm agoin' to Montana to throw the houlihan

Ride around little doggies ride around them slow

They're fiery and snuffy and a rarin' to go

Ride around little doggies ride around them slow

They're fiery and snuffy and a rarin' to go
