Key:
E B E Lay down, little doggies, lay down
A E We've both got to sleep on the cold, cold ground
A E The winds blowin' colder and the sun's goin' down
A E Lay down, little doggies, lay down
A E We hit this old beef trail just two months ago
B7 We blistered in the sun and we froze in the snow
E A E In ten days we're comin to a packing-house town
B E So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
A E This dodge city trail she's a hard road to go
A B7 Up the texas flatlands through old mexico
Continues after the ad
E A E I got dust in my eyes and mud in my nose
B E So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
E B E Lay down, little doggies, lay down
A E We've both got to sleep on the cold, cold ground
A E The winds blowin' colder and the sun's goin' down
B E So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
E A E That bad hole of water we drunk and got sick
E B Curled up out hair, tied our tails back in kinks
E A E We got lost in a blind canyon, tippy-toein' around
E B E So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
E A E Here now we come to the end of our trail
E B Your hair, hide and carcass to the stockyards i sell
E A E I'll see you in a tin can when you get shipped around
E B E So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
E B E Lay down, little doggies, lay down
A E We've both got to sleep on the cold, cold ground
A E The winds blowin' colder and the sun's goin' down
B E So lay yourselves down, little doggies, lay down
