Start Jamming...
I ride an old paint, I lead an old hen, [B] I'm going [F#m] to Montana [E] to throw the hooley in.
They feed [F#m] them in the coolies, [E] they water in the draw, their tails [F#m] are all matted, [E] their
backs are all raw right [B] around, little doggies [E] ride around them slow, for the fiery [F#m] and snuffy
[E] are rare in the gold.

Old Bill Jones had a daughter and a son, son [B] went to college and the [E] daughter went wrong,
his wife [F#m] got killed in a pool room fight, [B] still he keeps singing from [E] morning till night,
[B] ride around [F#] doggies, [E] ride around them slow, for the [F#m] fiery and snuffy are rare [E] in the gold.

When I die, take my saddle from the wall, put it on [F#m] to my pony, [E] lead him out of his stall,
tie my [F#m] bones to his back, [E] turn our faces to the west, and [B] we'll ride the prairie [E] that we love the best,
ride [F#m] around little doggies, [E] ride around them slow, [B] for the fiery and snuffy are rare in [E] the gold.
Ride [B] around little doggies, [E] ride around them slow, [B] for the fiery and snuffy are rare in [E] the gold.
