Johnny Cash - I Ride an Old Paint

I ride an old paint, I lead an old Dan

I'm off to Montan' for to throw the hooley ann

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 slow

The fiery and snuffy are raring to go

Well John's had two daughters and the song

One went to Denver the other went wrong

His young wife died in a poolroom fight

But he tries to keep singing from morning till night

Ride around little dogies, ride around slow

The fiery and snuffy are raring to go

When I die take my saddle from the wall

Strap it my pony, lead him out of the stall

Throw my bones on his back, turn our faces to the west

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

Ride around little dogies, ride around slow

The fiery and snuffy are raring to go
