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
And I sure ain`t fixin` to start in now
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
I`m an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to 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 V8
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
`bout the big corral where the dogies go
`Cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
Hey, yppie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
