I Ride An Old Paint

Traditional

© Normal Music, BMI

I ride an old paint I lead an old Dan
I'm gone to Montana to throw the hooley ann
They feed in the coulees they water in the draw
Their tails are all matted their backs're all raw

Ride around ride around real slow
Where the fiery and snuffy are rarin' to go

Old Willie 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 singin' from morning till night

Ride around ride around real slow...

Well when I die take my saddle from the wall
Put it on my pony and lead him from the stall
Throw my bones on his back turn our faces to the west
And we'll ride the prairie that we like the best

Ride around ride around real slow...
Ride around ride around real slow...
