Lyrics
A FADED PICTURE IN AN ANTIQUE FRAME
SHE LEFT HOME AT SEVENTEEN
SHE WENT TO RIDE ON THE WESTERN PLAINES
ON A PINTO PONEY, WITH A COAL BLACK MANE
SHE SIGNED ON WITH A WRANGING CREW
SHE WAS A BOY, FOR ALL THAT THEY KNEW
SHE LEARNED TO BRAND AND SHE LEARNED TO ROPE
SHE LEARNED TO LIVE ON BEANS AND HOPE
RIDE AROUND LITTLE DOGIES, RIDE AROUND 'EM SLOW
SING 'EM TO SLEEP AS YOU RIDE TO AND FRO
RIDE AROUND LITTLE DOGIES RIDE AROUND 'EM SLOW
YOU KNOW THAT WYOMING WILL BE YOUR NEW HOME
ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT, SO FAIR AND FINE
THE BOSS RODE OUT TO CHECK THE LINE
THE WIND BLEW HER HAT FROM OFF HER HEAD
HALLO YOUNG LADY, WAS ALL HE SAID
SHE WAS THE PRETTIEST GIRL HE'D EVER SEEN
AND THEY WERE MARRIED THE FOLLOWING SPRING
THEY LIVED TOGETHER FOR FIFTY YEARS
AND RAISED MY DAD AND THREE OTHER KIDS
RIDE AROUND LITTLE DOGIE, RIDE AROUND 'EM SLOW
SING 'EM TO SLEEP AS YOU RIDE TO AND FRO
RIDE AROUND LITTLE DOGIE, RIDE AROUND 'EM SLOW
YOU KNOW THAT WYOMING WILL BE YOUR NEW HOME
A FADED PICTURE IN AN ANTIQUE FRAME
I LOOK AT THE FACE OF MY GRANDMA JANE
SHE WAS A COWBOY ON THE WESTERN RANGE
I WISH THAT I COULD BE THE SAME
RIDE AROUND LITTLE DOGIE, RIDE AROUND 'EM SLOW
SING 'EM TO SLEEP AS YOU RIDE TO AND FRO
RIDE AROUND LITTLE DOGIE, RIDE AROUND 'EM SLOW
YOU KNOW THAT WYOMING WILL BE YOUR NEW HOME
KEY CHANGE
RIDE AROUND LITTLE DOGIE, RIDE AROUND 'EM SLOW
SING 'EM TO SLEEP AS YOU RIDE TO AND FRO
RIDE AROUND LITTLE DOGIE, RIDE AROUND EM SLOW
YOU KNOW THAT WYOMING WILL BE YOUR NEW HOME
