Get Along, Little Dogies,
is one of the great cowboy songs,
considered by many to be the most beautiful,
certainly by Rose Trevanton,
from whom my father found the
song in 1908 in Fort Worth.
As I walked out one mornin' for pleasure
I spied a cow puncher a -ridin' along
and his spurs was a -jinglin'
get along, you little doggies,
get along, you little doggies,
Wyoming will be your new home.
Early in the spring we round
and throw them doggies out on the trail.
And it's whoopin' and yellin'
For how I wish that you would go on
It's whoopin' and yellin' and
Wyoming will be your new home
she's raised way down in Texas
So you'll be ready for the trail to Idaho
It's beef, beef, beef, I hear them cry
Get along, get along, get along,
For you'll be beef -steers by and by
Oopitye -yi -yo, get along,
Get along, you little doggies,
