| Chorus:
|
| Lay down, little doggies, lay down
|
| We’ve both got to sleep on the cold, cold ground
|
| The winds blowin' colder and the sun’s goin' down
|
| Lay down, little doggies, lay down
|
| We hit this old beef trail just two months ago
|
| We blistered in the sun and we froze in the snow
|
| In ten days we’re comin to A packing housetown
|
| So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
|
| This dodge city trail she’s A hard road to go Up the texas flatlands through old mexico
|
| I got dust in my eyes and mud in my nose
|
| So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
|
| Chorus
|
| That bad hole of water we drunk and got sick
|
| Curled up out hair, tied our tails back in kinks
|
| We got lost in A blind canyon, tippy-Toein' around
|
| So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
|
| Here now we come to the end of our trail
|
| Your hair, hide and carcass to the stockyards I sell
|
| I’ll see you in A tin can when you get shipped around
|
| So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
|
| Chorus |
