The Songs He Sang
Night Herding Song: Lyrics
As performed by Cisco Houston
Traditional
Appears on:Oh, slow up, dogies, quit roamin' around, You have wandered and trampled 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... Hi yoo, Hi yoo, Hi yoo I've circle-herded and night-herded too, But to keep you together that's what I can't do My horse is leg-weary and I'm kinda tired, But if you get away, I'm sure to get fired, Bunch up, little dogies, bunch up... Hi yoo, Hi yoo, Hi yoo Lay still, little dogies, now that you have laid down Stretch away out on that big open ground Snore loud, little dogies and drown the wild sound That will all go away when the day rolls around Lay still, little dogies, lay still... Hi yoo, Hi yoo, Hi yoo
