I have circle-herded, trail-herded, night-herded too But to keep you together, that’s what I can’t do. My horse is leg-weary and I’m awful tired But if I let you get away I’m sure to get fired. Bunch up, little dogies, bunch up. |
||
| 3. | Oh say, little dogies, when you goin’ to lay down? And quit this forever siftin’ around? My limbs are weary, my seat is sore Oh, lay down, dogies, like you’ve laid before, Lay down, dogies, lay down. |
||
| 4. | Oh, lay still, dogies, since you have laid down Stretch away on the big open ground. Snore loud, little dogies, and drown the wild sound That’ll go away when the day rolls ’round, Lay still, dogies, lay still. |
