LeDoux, Chris - Old Paint Lyrics






I ride an old paint I lead an old Dan
I'm off to Montan' for to throw the hooley ann
They feed in the coulees they water in the draw
Their tails're all matted their backs're all raw
Ride around little dogies ride around slow the fiery and snuffy are raring to go
Bill Johns had two daughters Bill Johns had a song
One went to Denver and the other went wrong
His wife she died in a poolroom fight
Still he keeps singing from morning till night
Ride around little dogies ride around then slow the fiery and snuffy are raring to go

When I die take my saddle from the wall put it on my pony lead him out of the stall
Throw my bones on his back turn our faces to the west
And we'll ride the prairie that we love the best
Ride around little dogies ride around then slow the fiery and snuffy are raring to go

    Riding back from town tonight
    I don't need the trail moonlight
    This old horse knows his way home
    I don't have to touch the reins
    He's right on track just like a train
    This old horse knows his way home
    This old horse knows his way home
    He waits faithfully to save me
    From poker games and painted ladies
    This old horse knows his way home
    And when my heart or pay is gone
    I climb up and just hold on
    This old horse knows his way home
    This old horse knows his way home
    Cowboy blues fade to black
    In an old bunkhouse rack
    And so I whistle back in the saddle again
    Cowboy blues fade to black
    In an old bunkhouse rack
    And so I whistle back in the saddle again
    Riding back from town tonight
    I don't need the trail moonlight
    This old horse knows his way home
    This old horse knows his way home
    This old horse knows his way home

  36. J.... N....

    I miss you my friend.
    I'm looking forward to seeing Ned and the boy's at Kaycee this weekend.

    cowboys love horses, write songs about 'em.

    When your old crusty cowboy boot breaks the sage first thing in the morning you know it will be great day.

  40. w.... ....

    A horse is more than just an animal. If you have ever worked with them then you know. Not work with them but actually worked with them as equals like a cutting horse then you know.

    Seriously the horse know though even though you may not. I mean I will put a horse right along with a dog. I have both and both will tell me if something is a threat coming into camp. And I pay attention. When you live around bears and wolves then you better trust your friend's instincts. They depend on me for food and I depend on them too.

    Sometimes and or some people like to live in the wilds. The way I figure I would rather face a Grizzly bear with not gun than get shot during a drive by. Both are animals. One is trying to protect itself and or eat and the other just kills for the joy of it. I would rather be eaten than shot standing on a street corner. If eaten I can com out as a turd and everyone will have to smell me, LOL. But seriously though.

    w.... ....

    Sorry to break it to you, but a horse is an animal. That's what a horse is. Horses are not even remotely close to being the only animals with the qualities you describe.

  41. D.... L....

    ya and he took me there

    My daddy did some survey work in northern Canada back in the early forties. He rode quarter horses, he called 'em RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) horses. Said they were so smart you didn't need the reins, just your knees. Drop the reins and they went back to camp. My daddy's dad was a veterinarian in the Canadian North West, Alberta. He went to war back when horses figured big. I have horses in my blood. Just discovered Chris LeDoux this morning. Hooked!

  46. s.... N....

    a true cowboy

  47. M.... H....

    I think we all had horses we wish we could have back again I know I had my share of horses I wish I could have back again.

  55. B.... V....

    Chris, there was an Alaskan horseshoer named Dennis Muggas that loved your music. He worked for 30 years until his body was all used up shoeing horses. He committed suicide so as not to be dependant on anyone in his old age. He loved your music.

    B.... V....

    Betty Vehrs this is the same with my father. He was a cowboy in Arizona and US Marine. He chose suicide as his body was falling apart and couldn't stand not doing what he loved and people taking care of him. Thanks for sharing. This was one of his favorite songs and artists.

    You understand...to bond with a good horse is something that's never forgotten. Mine was a mare named Bella - she was my friend and a damned fine animal.

    M.... W....

    So true - Mine was a quarterhorse named Spice.  We had that special bond - I used to read to her cowboy paperbacks.  She was my Search & Rescue Posse horse.  Love you still, Little Girl.
