Dogie's Lament Lyrics - Kingston Trio

As I was out walkin' one mornin' for pleasure 

I spied a cow puncher a-ridin' along 

His hat was thrown back and his spurs were a-jinglin' 

And as he approached he was singin' this song 

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie 

It's your misfortune and none of my own 

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie 

You know that Wyoming will be your new home 

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie 

It's your misfortune and none of my own 

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie 

You know that Wyoming will be your new home 

It's early in the spring when they round up the doggies 

They mark 'em and brand 'em and bob off their tails 

They round up the horses, load up the chuck wagon 

Then send the doggies out on the long tail 

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie 

It's your misfortune and none of my own 

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie 

You know that Wyoming will be your new home 

Your mother was raised a-way down in Texas 

Where the Jimsonweed and the sandburrs grow 

We'll feed you up on prickly pear and cholla 

And then send you roamin' to old Idaho 

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie 

It's your misfortune and none of my own 

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie 

You know that Wyoming will be your new home
