[Verse 1]
  C
I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan,
    G7                  C
I'm going to Montana to throw a houlihan.
     G7                        C
They feed in the coolies, they water in the draw,
      G7                          C
their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw.

[Chorus]
      G7           C
Ride around, ride around real slow.
    G7                       C               C
The fiery and the snuffy are raring to go.

Old Bill Brown had a daughter and a son,
G7                         C
one went to Denver and the other went wrong.
    G7                 C
His wife she died in a poolroom fight
    G7                          C
and still he keeps singing from morning 'til night.

[Chorus]
      G7           C
Ride around, ride around real slow.
          G7                       C              C
Well, the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go.

      C
Well, when I die, take my saddle from the wall,
G7                    C
put it on my pony and lead him from his stall.
       G7                          C
Tie my bones to his back, turn our faces to the west
    G7                          C
and we'll ride the prairie that we like the best.

[Chorus]
      G7           C
Ride around, ride around real slow.
          G7                       C
Well, the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go.
      G7           C
Ride around, ride around real slow.
          G7                       C
Well, the fiery and the snuffy are raring to go.
