Whoopie Ti-Yi-Yo (Git Along Little Dogies)

AO Folksong - MARCH 2023
Whoopie Ti-Yi-Yo, Git Along Little Dogies
As I was a-walkin one morning for pleasure,
I spied a cow-puncher all riding alone;
His hat was throwed back and his spurs were a-jingling,
And as he approached he was singin' this song,
Whoopie ti yi yo, git along little dogies,
It's your misfortune, and none of my own.
Whoopie ti yi yo, git along little dogies,
For you know that Wyoming will be your new home.
It’s early in spring we round up the dogies,
We mark ‘em and brand ‘em and bob off their tails;
Round up the horses, load up the chuck-wagon,
Then throw the dogies out on the north trail.
Your mother was raised a-way down in Texas,
Where the jimson weed and sand-burrs grow;
We'll fill you up on prickly pear and cholla
Until you are ready for Idaho.
