Night Herding Song

                                  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.
