Yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tannned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
I never roped a steer cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't a-fixin' to start in now
A-yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
I know every little trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
A-yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay
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
About the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the radio
A-yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay
I'm an old cowhand (old-cowhand) from the Rio Grande (Ri-o Grande)
Where the West is wide (West is wide) around the borderland (borderland)
Where the buffalo roam all around the zoo
And the Indians make you a rug or two
And the old Bar-X is the barbeque
A-yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay)
Yippie yi yo kay ay (kay ay).
