<p class="tit-song">NIGHT-HERDING SONG <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page324" name="page324"></SPAN>(p. 324)</span><br/>
<span class="add2em">By Harry Stephens</span></p>
<p>Oh, slow up, dogies, quit your roving round,<br/>
You have wandered and tramped all over the ground;<br/>
Oh, graze along, dogies, and feed kinda slow,<br/>
And don't forever be on the go,—<br/>
Oh, move slow, dogies, move slow.</p>
<p>Hi-oo, hi-oo, oo-oo.</p>
<p>I have circle-herded, trail-herded, night-herded, and cross-herded, too,<br/>
But to keep you together, that's what I can't do;<br/>
My horse is leg weary and I'm awful tired,<br/>
But if I let you get away I'm sure to get fired,—<br/>
Bunch up, little dogies, bunch up.</p>
<p>Hi-oo, hi-oo, oo-oo.</p>
<p>O say, little dogies, when you goin' to lay down<br/>
And quit this forever siftin' around?<br/>
My limbs are weary, my seat is sore;<br/>
Oh, lay down, dogies, like you've laid before,—<br/>
Lay down, little dogies, lay down.</p>
<p>Hi-oo, hi-oo, oo-oo.</p>
<p>Oh, <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page325" name="page325"></SPAN>(p. 325)</span> lay still, dogies, since you have laid down,<br/>
Stretch away out on the big open ground;<br/>
Snore loud, little dogies, and drown the wild sound<br/>
That will all go away when the day rolls round,—<br/>
Lay still, little dogies, lay still.</p>
<p>Hi-oo, hi-oo, oo-oo.<br/>
