1. |
As I was a walking one morning for pleasure,
I spied a cowpuncher a riding
alone;
His hat was throwed back and his spurs was a-jingling,
And as he approach'd he was singing this song:

Refrain: |

|
| |
|
|
Whoopee ti-yi-yo, git along, little dogies,
It's your misfortune and none of my own;
Whoopee ti-yi-yo, git along little dogies,
You know that Wyoming will be your new home.

2. |
Early in the spring we round up the dogies,
Mark 'em and brand 'em and bob off their tails;
Drive up our horses, load up the chuck-wagon,
Then throw the dogies out on the trail. |

3. |
It's whoopin' and yellin' and a-drivin' them dogies;
Oh, how l wish that you would go on.
It's a-whoopin' and punchin' and go on-a, little dogies
For you know that Wyoming is to be your new home. |
