Don Edwards - Miss Aledo lyrics

Out in the West it is often heard said The only good paint horse is one that is dead But to rules there's exceptions I've got this to show So take a deep seat watch this paint Philly go Miss Aledo, Miss Aledo swing to and fro Watching them dogies wherever they go First to the right, then to the left Always in front of 'em doing her best It was down in Forth Worth at the big fat stock show Bob first had the chance to watch this Philly go He walks right up to him says, "How much will you take?" They said, "Enough money for the rent and a steak" Now Bob says, "I'll take her, but now let me see Will you take a check boys, upon the Cross Dee?" The boys said, "No Bob, it's cash that we want" So he gets the two thousand and he pays 'em right off Miss Aledo, Miss Aledo swing to and fro Watching them dogies wherever they go First to the right, then to the left Always in front of 'em doing her best Now watch her go to 'em she does it so neat You'd think that this Philly had brains in her feet She's always a-watching and seems to outguess Anything she's working she's doing her best Now people will tell you it takes time to show A good cuttin' pony the right place to go But this little paint Philly just naturally knows More than most horses, she's just two years old Miss Aledo, Miss Aledo swing to and fro Watching them dogies wherever they go First to the right and then to the left Always in front of 'em doing her best If it's good cuttin' horses you're wanting to see Go out North of Roswell upon the Cross Dee Miss Aledo and Power and Old Yeller Cat The best cuttin' horses the West has seen yet
