I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
Well I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to startin' now
Yippee-i-o-ki-ay, hey yippee-i-o-ki-ay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
Well 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 V-8
Yippee-i-o-ki-ay, hey yippee-i-o-ki-ay
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
About the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the radio
Yippee-i-o-ki-ay, hey yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Yippee-i-o-ki-ay, hey yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Yippee-i-o-ki-ay, hey yippee-i-o-ki-ay
