Music of the Week

10 Little Cowboys (Sung to: Ten little cowboys)

10 Little Cowboys Standing in a row – (hold up 10 fingers)
When they see the foreman
They bow just so-  ( bend fingers down)
They ride to the left  (hands move left)
And they ride to the right  (move hands to right)
And then they shut their eyes
And sleep all night.  (put cheek on hands)

Move on, Little Dogies (Sung to: My Bonnie lies over the ocean)
All day long I ride on the prairie.
All night I sleep on the ground.
Oh, I'm a roaming cowboy,
Who travels around and around.
Move on, move on
Move on, little dogies, move on, move on.
Move on, move on,
Move on, little dogies, move on.
