Johnny Cash - I Ride an Old Paint lyrics
[Johnny Cash - I Ride an Old Paint lyrics]
I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan
I'm going to Montana to throw the hoolihan
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 them slow
For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go
Old Bill Jones had a daughter and a son
One went to college, the other went wrong
His wife, she got killed in a poolroom fight
But still he's a-singing from
Morning untill night
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
And we'll ride the prairie we love the best
Ride around little dogies
Ride around them slow
For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go
I'm going to Montana to throw the hoolihan
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 them slow
For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go
Old Bill Jones had a daughter and a son
One went to college, the other went wrong
His wife, she got killed in a poolroom fight
But still he's a-singing from
Morning untill night
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
And we'll ride the prairie we love the best
Ride around little dogies
Ride around them slow
For the fiery and snuffy are raring to go
