Oh, step aside, y'all ornery tenderfeet
|
Cause I'm about to sing my song
|
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
|
But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tan
|
Well 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 startin now
|
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
|
|
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
|
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
|
Well I'm a ridin 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
|
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
|
|
Look out, I'm gonna show y'all how to ride now
|
Here we go
|
|
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
|
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
|
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
|
|
Now my story's almost done, so listen up!
|
You ain't got much longer now
|
|
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
|
Where the west is wild round the borderland
|
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
|
And the indian make you a rug or two
|
And the old Bar-X is the Bar-be-cue
|
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
|
|
I'm just an old cowhand...
