[Verse 1] I'm an old cowhand From the Rio Grande And my legs aren't bowed My cheeks aren't tanned I'm a cowboy Who never saw a cow Never roped a steer Because I don't know how And I sure ain't fixing to start in now [Chorus] Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay [Verse 2] I'm an old cowhand From the Rio Grande And I learned to ride Before I learned to stand I'm a riding fool Who is up to date I know every trail In the Lone Star state Because I ride The range in a Ford V-8 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 Because I learned them all on the radio [Chorus] [Outro] "Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay"
