Old Paint Lyrics


I ride an old paint
I lead an old dam
I'm going to Montana
To throw a houlihan
They feed in the coolies
They water in the draw
Their tails are all matted
Their backs are all raw
Ride around
Ride around real slow
The fiery and the snuffy
Are raring to go
Old Bill Brown
Had a daughter and a son
One went to Denver
And the other went wrong
His wife, she died
In a poolroom fight

And still he keeps singing
From morning till night
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well, the fiery and the snuffy
Are raring to go
Well, when I die
Take my saddle from the wall
Put it on my pony
And lead him from his stall
Tie my bones to his back
Turn our faces to the west
And we'll ride the prairie
That we like the best
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well, the fiery and the snuffy
Are raring to go
Ride around
Ride around real slow
Well, the fiery and the snuffy
Are raring to go

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Sara Grey plays a distinctive style of banjo, and sings ballads and other folk songs. She uses a 5 string banjo, and is considered to be one of the leading exponents of the clawhammer style of picking.
She grew up in New Hampshire, but has lived all over, including the UK. While living in North Carolina, she discovered a love of mountain ‘folk’ music, and she was heavily influenced by the ‘old timers’ playing their traditional banjo music.
She is still performing after 30 years on the folk scene.
