[Verse 1]
When I was a cowboy out on the western plain
Oh, when I was a cowboy laid out on the western plains
I lost a half a dollar, put it on a losin' game
Come-a, kai kai yippie, kai kai yippie yippie yay

[Verse 2]
Oh, the biggest loser who was doin' at the rodeo
Oh, the biggest loser who was doin' at the rodeo-oh
Was me and a bunch of cowboys a-movin' much too slow
Come-a, kai kai yippie, kai kai yippie yippie yay

[Harmonica Solo]
*Gun shots*

[Verse 3]
When your house catches fire and there ain't no water around
If your house catches fire and there ain't no water around
Throw your jelly out the window, let the cold barn, dog gone, dirty shack burn down
Kai yai yippie, kai kai yippie yippie yay

[Verse 1]
When I was a cowboy out on the western plain
Oh, when I was a cowboy laid out on the western plains
I lost a half a dollar put it on a losin' game *gunshots*
Come-a, kai kai yippie, kai kai yippie yippie yay *gunshots*
