The Songs He Sang
Whoopie Ti-Yi-Yo, Get Along Little Dogies: Lyrics
As performed by Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston
Traditional
Appears on:(Fade in) Get along little dogies It's your misfortune and none of my own Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies You know that Wyoming will be your new home That cattle trail's rough and a hard road to travel That old Jack o' Diamonds is a hard card to play Git along, git along, git along little dogies Get along little dogies and be on your way Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies It's your misfortune and none of my own Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies You know that Wyoming will be your new home Some boys hit this old cow trail for pleasure But that's where they get it most awfully wrong I wish I could tell you the troubles they give us As we go rolling these dogies along Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies It's your misfortune and none of my own Whoopee ti yi yo, get along little dogies You know that Wyoming will be your new home
Of note:
Rather a different flavor from the well known version by The Weavers, this is certainly a song of misfortune.
