I Ride An Old Paint Lyrics - Johnny Cash

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 

CHORUS: 

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

CHORUS 

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

They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw 

Their tails are all matted, and their backs are all raw
