I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
|
And my legs ain't bowed, my cheeks ain't tanned
|
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
|
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
|
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now
|
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay, Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
|
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
|
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand
|
I'm a riding fool who is up to date
|
I know every trail in the Lone Star state
|
'cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
|
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
|
|
[Instrumental-First Line Of A Verse]
|
|
And I come to town just to hear the band
|
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
|
'bout the big corral where the dogies go
|
'cause I learned them all on the radio
|
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
|
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
|
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
|
