Get Along Little Dogies
[Verse 1]
As I was out ridin' one mornin' for pleasure
I spied a young cowboy a-ridin' along
His hat was throwed back, and his spurs were jinglin'
And as he was ridin' he was singin' this song
[Chorus]
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo, git along, little dogies
It's your misfortune, ain't none of my own
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo, git along, little dogies
You know that Wyomin' will be your new home
[Verse 2]
When spring comes along we round up the dogies
We stick on their brands, and we bob off their tails
Pick out the strays, then the herd is inspected
And the very next day we go out on the trail
[Chorus]
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo (Whoopee, ti-yi-yo), git along, little dogies
It's your misfortune, ain't none of my own
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo, git along, little dogies
You know that Wyomin' will be your new home
[Verse 3]
We ride on the prairies across the wide rivers
And on through the flats where there's never a town
Our horses are weary, we're tired and we're hungry
Lay still, little dogies, stop roamin' around
[Chorus]
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo (Whoopee, ti-y-yo), git along (git along), little dogies (little dogies)
It's your misfortune, ain't none of my own
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo, git along, little dogies
You know that Wyomin' will be your new home
[Verse 4]
Night is a-comin', and the dogies are strayin'
They're farther from home than they've been before
Come on, little dogies, it's time to be rollin'
When we get to Wyomin', we'll roll no more
[Chorus]
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo (Whoopee, ti-yi-yo), git along (git along), little dogies (little dogies)
It's your misfortune, ain't none of my own
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo, git along, little dogies
You know that Wyomin' will be your new home
[Outro]
Whoopee, ti-yi-yo
