Im An Old Cowhand

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

But my legs ain't bowed

Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how

And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now

Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

And I learned to ride

'fore I learned to stand

I'm 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, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
