I’m an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande) Songtext
von Sons of the Pioneers

Sons of the Pioneers & Roy Rogers

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay, Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
I′m an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I sing the songs in the cowboy band

Chorus:
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
About the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned ′em all on the radio.

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay, Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And he plays the fiddle in the cowboy band.

--- Instrumental ---

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay, yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And he calls the dance in the cowboy band.


Caller′s Chorus:
Dosie-do all around your pard
Swing that gal ′til she gits tired
Allemande left in your own backyard.

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay, yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And he plays guitar in the cowboy band.

--- Instrumental ---

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay, yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
He′s an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And he plays the bass in the cowboy band.

--- Instrumental ---

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay, yipee-yi-o-kie-yay

--- Instrumental ---

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay, yipee-yi-o-kie-yay

Oooeeeeoooooeeeeoooooaaaaaeeeeoooooo. (yodeling)

Oooeeeeoooooeeeeoooooaaaaaeeeeooooo. (yodeling)

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay, yipee-yi-o-kie-yay
