[Verse 1]
N.C
Oh say, little dogies, why don't you lay down?
N.C
You've wandered and trampled all over the ground
N.C                            C/E  
Lay down, little dogies, lay down
[Verse 2]
N.C
I've cross-herded, circle-herded, trail-herded too
N.C
But to keep you together, that's what I can't do
N.C                             C/E  
Bunch up, little dogies, bunch up
[Verse 3]
N.C
My horse is leg-weary and I'm awful tired
N.C
But if I let you get away I'm sure to get fired
N.C                            C/E  
Bunch up, little dogies, bunch up
