[Verse] 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-house town 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 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 So lay yourselves down little doggies lay down 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 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 So lay yourselves down little doggies lay down
