[Intro]
| A7   | A7   | D    | D    | D    | D    |
 
 
[Verse 1]
  D                    D
I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan
    A7                    D
I'm off to Montan' for to throw the hoolihan
     A7                        D
They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw
      A7                          D
Their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw
 
 
[Chorus]
      A7                   D
Ride around little dogies, ride around slow
    A7                       D
The fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
 
 
[Instrumental]
| A7   | A7   | D    | D    | D    | A7   | A7   | D    | D    | D    | D    |
 
 
[Verse 2]
     D                       D
Bill Jones had two daughters and a son
A7                      D
One went to Denver, the other went wrong
    A7                   D
His young wife died in a poolroom fight
       A7                         D
But he tries to keep singing from morning till night
 
 
[Chorus]
      A7                   D
Ride around little dogies, ride around slow
    A7                       D            C    C    C    C
The fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                   C
When I die, take my saddle from the wall
 G7                           C
Strap it on my pony, lead him out of the stall
         G7                          C
Throw my bones on his back, turn our faces to the west
    G7                          C               D
And we'll ride the prairie that we love the best
 
 
[Chorus]
      A7                   D
Ride around little dogies, ride around slow
    A7                       D
The fiery and the snuffy are raring to go
 
 
[Outro]
| A7   | A7   | D    | D    | D    | A7   | A7   | D    | D    |
