Kingston Trio Dogie`s Lament Lyrics

Dogie`s Lament Lyrics

John Stewart/Bob Shane/Nick Reynolds



As I was out walkin' one mornin' for pleasure, I spied a cow puncher a-ridin'
along.

His hat was thrown back and his spurs were a-jinglin' and as he approached he
was singin' this song:



Chorus:

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie. It's your misfortune and none of my
own.

Whoopee ti yi yo, get along, little doggie. You know that Wyoming will be your
new home. (Chorus)



It's early in the spring when they round up the doggies. They mark 'em and
brand 'em and bob off their tails.

They round up the horses, load up the chuck wagon. Then send the doggies out on
the long tail.



(Chorus)



Your mother was raised a-way down in Texas where the Jimsonweed and the
sandburrs grow.

We'll feed you up on prickly pear and cholla and then send you roamin' to old
Idaho.



(Chorus)
