As performed by Cisco Houston

Appears on:Ride around little dogie, ride around them slow They're Fiery and Snuffy and raring to go Ride around little dogie, ride around them slow Fiery and Snuffy and raring to go Old Bill Jones had a daughter and a son Son went to college and the daughter went wrong His wife got killed in a free-for-all fight Still he keeps singing from morning till night Ride around little dogies, ride around them slow Fiery and Snuffy are raring to go I'll ride the old paint, lead the old dan Go to Montana to throw the hoolian I'll feed 'em in the coulees, water in the draw Tails are all matted, and their backs are all raw Ride around little dogie, ride around them slow Fiery and Snuffy are raring to go I worked in the town, I worked on the farm All I got to show is this muscle in my arm Blisters on my feet, callous on my hand Goin' to Montana to throw the hoolian Ride around little dogie, ride around them slow Fiery and Snuffy are raring to go
Of note:
Wonder of the son going to college was another of Old Bill's disasters? Listed as "Ride Old Point" on the CD and jewel case.
