[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"
