Oh say, little dogies, why don't you lay down? You've wandered and trampled all over the ground. Lay down, little dogies, lay down. I have cross-herded, trail-herded, circle-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.
