I Ride An Old Paint

I Ride an Old Paint - The Almanac Singers

I ride an old paint 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 dogies ride around them slow

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

Old Bill Jones had daughter and song

On 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 dogies ride around them slow

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

When I die take my saddle from the wall

Put it on my pony lead him out of his stall

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

We'll ride the prairie that we loved the best

Ride around little dogies ride around them slow

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

I've worked in your town

And I've worked on your farm

All I got to show is the muscle in my arm

Blisters on my feet the callous on my hand

And I'm a goin' to Montana to throw the houlihan

Ride around little dogies ride around them slow

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

Ride around little dogies ride around them slow

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