I'm An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande



But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tanned



I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow



Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how



Sure ain't a fixin' to start in now



Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah



I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande



And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand



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, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah



Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah



We're 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



'Bout the Big Corral where the doggies go



We learned them all on the radio



Yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah



I'm an old cowhand, down from the Rio Grande



Oh, where the West is wild all around the Borderland



Where the buffalo roam around the zoo



And the engines run up a rug or two



And the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah



Yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah



I'm a pioneer who began from scratch



I don't bat an eye in a shootin' match



They don't call me 'Elmer', they call me 'Satch'



Yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah



Get along little horsey, get along little horsey



Yippie yi yo kayah, oh
