I Ride An Old Paint

I Ride An Old Paint - Pete Seeger

I ride an old paint and I lead an old Dan

Goin' to Montana to throw the houlihan

Feed 'em in the coulees and water in the draw

Their tails are all matted and their backs are all raw

Ride around little doggies

Ride around them slow

For the fiery and snuffy are a rarin' 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 singin' from mornin' till night

Ride around little doggies

Ride around them slow

For the fiery and snuffy are a rarin' to go

When I die take my saddle from the wall

Put it onto my pony lead him out of his stall

Tie my bones to his back

An' turn our faces to the west

When we'll ride the Prairies that we loved the best

Ride around little doggies

Ride around them slow

For the fiery and snuffy are a rarin' to go

Ride around little doggies

Ride around them slow

For the fiery and snuffy are a rarin' to go
