Im an old cowhand from the rio grande
But my legs aint bowed
And my cheeks aint tanned
Im a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I dont know how
And I sure aint fixin to start in now
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

Im an old cowhand from the rio grande
And I learned to ride
fore I learned to stand
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 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
