Henry's Songbook

Chorus:
Rain and shine, sleet or snow
Me and my Doney Gal bound to go

Get along, Doney Gal, through the rain and hail
Driving them dogies along the trail

We'll ride the range from sun to sun
A cowboy's work is never done

A cowboy's life is a weary thing
It's rope and it's ride and it's brand and it's sing

As sung by Palaver

[1992:] From the singing of Joe Hickerson; additional verses from 'Songs of the Great American West' (Silber and Robinson). (SF, UWP Archive, www.leo.org/)

[2000:] Learned from Cy Laurie. (Pr. comm. Aileen Carr, Stonehaven Folk Festival)
