I'm An Old Cowhand

Oh, step aside, y'all ornery tender feet



'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



Yippee-i-o-ki-ay, hey 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, hey 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, yeah 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 Indians make you a rug or two



And the old Bar X is the Barbecue



Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, hey yippee-i-o-ki-ay



Hey yippee-i-o-ki-ay



I'm just an old cowhand
