[Verse]
Dm G C
As I was out walkin' one mornin' for pleasure
Dm G C
I spied a cowpuncher a-ridin' along
Dm G C
His hat was thrown back and his spurs were a-jinglin'
Dm G C
and as he approached he was singin' this song
[Chorus]
G C
Whoopee ki yi yo, get along, little dogie
G C
It's your misfortune and none of my own
F G C
Whoopee ki yi yo, get along, little dogie
F G C
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
[Instrumental]
C Dm G C
C Dm G C
[Verse]
Dm G C
It's early in the spring when we round up the dogies
Dm G C
They mark 'em and brand 'em and bob off their tails
Dm G C
They round up the horses, load up the chuck-wagon
Dm G C
Then send the dogies out on the long trail
[Chorus]
G C
Whoopee ki yi yo, get along, little dogie
G C
It's your misfortune and none of my own
F G C
Whoopee ki yi yo, get along, little dogie
F G C
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
[Instrumental]
C Dm G C
C Dm G C
[Verse]
Dm G C
Your mother was a-raised a-way down in Texas
Dm G C
Where the Jimsonweed and the sandburrs grow
Dm G C
We'll feed you up on prickly pear cholla
Dm G C
And then send you roamin' to old Idaho
[Chorus]
G C
Whoopee ki yi yo, get along, little dogie
G C
It's your misfortune and none of my own
F G C
Whoopee ki yi yo, get along, little dogie
F G C
You know that Wyoming will be your new home
[Outro]
