Im an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs aint bowed and my cheeks aint tan
Im a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I dont know how
Sure aint a fixin to start in now
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
Im an old cowhand and
I come down from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride ride ride
Fore I learned to stand
Im 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 kayah

Yippie yi yo kayah

Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
Were old cowhands from the Rio Grande
And we come to town
Just to hear the band

We know all the songs
That the cowboys know
Bbout the big corral
Where the doggies go
We learned them all on the radio
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
Im just an old cowhand
Oh yes Mr Bing
Too hot for you Uncle Fudd
Down from the Rio Grande

Oh where the west is wild
All around the borderland

Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
And the Injuns run up a rug or two
And the old Bar X is
Just a barbecue yeah
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah

Im a pioneer who began from scratch
I dont bat an eye in a shootin match
They dont call me Elmer
They call me Satch
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah

Get along little horsy
Get along little horsy
Yippie yi yo kayah oh
