The Night Herding Song

Oh say ye little doggies why don’t you lay down?
You’ve wandered and trampled all over the ground.
My horse is leg weary, and I’m awful tired.
If you all get away, I’m sure to get fired.
Bunch ye up, little doggies, bunch up.
Lay still, little doggies, since you have laid down.
Stretch away on that big, open ground.
Sleep sound, little doggies, drown out the wild sounds.
They’ll all go away when the day rolls around.
Lay still, little doggies, lay still.
