Pete Seeger and group - I Ride an Old Paint Lyrics

I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan
I'm goin' 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 rarin' 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-singin' from
Mornin' till 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

I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan
I'm goin' to Montana to throw the hoolihan
They feed in the coulees
They water in the draw
Their tails are all matted
And their backs are all raw
