I`m An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande) — текст песни (Harry Connick, Jr.)

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...
