Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ride an old paint
I lead an old dam
I'm going to Montana
To throw a houlihan
They feed in the coolies
They water in the draw
Their tails are all matted
Their backs are all raw
[Verse 2]
Ride around
Ride around real slow
The fiery and the snuffy
Are raring to go
[Verse 3]
Ol' Bill Brown had a daughter and a son
One went to Denver and the other went wrong
His wife, she died in a poolroom fight
And still he keeps singing the morning till night
[Verse 4]
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well, the fiery and the snuffy
Are raring to go
[Verse 5]
Well, when I die
Take my saddle from the wall
Put it on my pony and lead him from his stall
Tie my bones to his back
Turn our faces to the west
And we'll ride the prairie
That we like the best
[Verse 6]
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well, the fiery and the snuffy
Are raring to go
[Verse 7]
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well, the fiery and the snuffy
Are raring to go
