—Traditional, Tim O'Brien Arrangement
Chorus:
Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Dog in the woods, he done treed something
Your dog barks, it don't mean nothin
Your dog barks, it don't mean nothin
My dog barks, he done treed somethin
Old Red howlin up at the moon
Old Red howlin up at the moon
Took off runnin, and he treed him a coon
Now he raised his tail and he took off runnin
He raised up his tail and he took off runnin
Come on boys let's go to huntin
The gun says boom and coon says zip
The gun says boom and the coon says zip
Old Red grabbed him with all his grip
Your dog bark, it don't mean nothin
Your dog bark, it don't mean nothin
My dog bark, he done treed somethin
Waterproof your boots and whistle up your dog
Waterproof your boots and whistle up your dog
Shoulder up your gun when you're wadin in the bog
You get the shot, I'll get the powder
You get the shot, I'll get the powder
Your dog bark, my dog louder
