Thread Name: Lyr Req: Riding Old Paint and Leading Old Ball
Subject: Ridin' old paint - a cowgirl song
I'm looking for lyrics, writier, and Title. I have a casette with an old, old recording of this song that has in the chorus "Ridin' old paint and leading old Beau." (Can't decipher that last name, but it sounds like beau)

It start's out:

I'm getting mighty tired of single life
gonna settle down and be a wife


Then I have trouble understanding the next line

(something) every day
I'll get me a herd and start me a brand
(something)from man to man
ridin' old paint and leadin' old beau.

CHORUS

Ridin old paint and leading old beau
gonna quit work this comin fall goin to the mountain and live till I'm old
goin to oregon and look for gold goin to get married I swear I will
goin to settle down on the Santa Fe trail
Ridin old paint and leading old beau


I hope this is enough to go by. Thanks a bunch, Margo!!!
