I ride an old paint, I lead an old dam
I'm going to Montana to throw a houlihan
They feed in the coolies, they water in the draw
Their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw

(Ride around, ride around real slow)
The fiery and the snuffy are rarin' to go

Old Bill Brown had a daughter and a son
One went to Denver and the other went wrong
His wife she died in a poolroom fight
And still he keeps singin' from morning to night

(Ride around, ride around real slow)
Well, the fiery and the snuffy are rarin' to go

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

(Ride around, ride around real slow)
Well, the fiery and the snuffy are rarin' to go
(Ride around, ride around real slow)
Well, the fiery and the snuffy are rarin' to go
