I'm a Old Cowhand Songtext
von Bing Crosby

I′m an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain′t tanned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don′t know how
Sure ain′t a fixin' to start in now

Ho, yippie-ya-yo-kayay
Yippie-ya-yo-kayay

I′m an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride, ride, 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

Oh, yippie-ya-yo-kayay (yip-yip-yip)


Yippie-ya-yo-kayay
Yippie-ya-yo-kayay
We're old cowhands from the Rio Grande
And we come to town just to hear the band
We know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the Big Corral where the doggies go
We learned them all on the radio

Ho, Yippie-ya-yo-kayay (yip-yip-yip)
Yippie-ya-yo-kayay

I′m just an old cowhand (oh, yeah, too hot for you uncle?), down from the Rio Grande
Oh, where the West is wild all around the Borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
And the engines run up a rug or two
And the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah

Yippie-ya-yo-kayay
Yippie-ya-yo-kayay

I′m a pioneer who began from scratch
I don't bat an eye in a shootin′ match
They don't call me ′Elmer', they call me ′Satch'

Yippie-ya-yo-kayay
Yippie-ya-yo-kayay

Yippie-ya-yo-kayay, woah!
