[6] I ride an old paint
- I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan, I'm goin to montan for to throw the hoolian. They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw, their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw. Ride around little dogies, ride around then slow, for the fiery and snuffy are ararin to go.
