Oh, step aside, yall ornery tenderfeet
Cause Im about to sing my song
Im an old cowhand from the rio grande
But my legs aint bowed, and my cheeks aint tan
Well Im a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I dont know how
And I sure aint fixin to startin now
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Im an old cowhand from the rio grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
Well Im 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, Im gonna show yall how to ride now
Here we go
Im 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 storys almost done, so listen up!
You aint got much longer now
Im 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
Im just an old cowhand...
