I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan

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

Yippie yi yo kayah

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 riding 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

Yippie yi yo kayah

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

'Bbout the big corral where the doggies go

We learned them all on the radio

Yippie yi yo kayah

I'm an old cowhand

Oh yes, Mr. Bing.

Too hot for you, Uncle Fudd?

Down from the Rio Grande

Oh where the west is wild all around the borderland

Where the buffalo roam around the zoo

and the Injuns run up a rug or two

and the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah

Yippie yi yo kayah

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 yi yo kayah

Yippie yi yo kayah

Get along little horsy

Get along little horsy

Yippie yi yo kayah, oh!
