Lyrics
Oh, slow up, dogies, quit your roving round,
You have wandered and tramped all over the ground;
Oh, graze along, dogies, and feed kinda slow,
And don’t forever be on the go
Oh, move slow, dogies, move slow.

I have circle-herded, trail-herded, night-herded, too,
But to keep you together, that’s what I can’t do;
My horse is leg-weary and I’m awful tired,
But if I let you get away I’m sure to get fired
Bunch up, little dogies, bunch up.

Oh, say, little dogies, when you goin’ to lay down
And quit this forever siftin’ around?
My limbs are weary, my seat is sore;
Oh, lay down, dogies, like you’ve laid before
Lay down, little dogies, lay down.

Oh, lay still, dogies, since you have laid down,
Stretch away out on the big open ground;
Snore loud, little dogies, and drown the wild sound
That will all go away when the day rolls round
Lay still, little dogies, lay still.
