I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

And I sing the songs in the cowboy band

I know all the songs that the cowboys know

About the big corral where the dogies go

I learned 'em all on the radio

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

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

And I play the fiddle in the cowboy band

Here I go

[ fiddle ]

He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

He calls the dance in the cowboy band

Dosie-do all around your pard

Swing that gal till she gits tarred

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 the drums in the cowboy band

Bang 'em son

[ drums ]

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

Now it's your turn to play with a cowboy band

Grab your kazoo clap your hands

Sing along do this honky here you go now

You're an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

It's your turn to play with a cowboy band

Hear it buddy

[ guitar ]

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

That was great that was very good

Now gimme that bass

[ bass ]

And some guitar

[ guitar ]

Mr Piano man

[ piano ]

My turn to the fiddle here I come

[ fiddle ]

I said yipee-yi-o-kie-yay yipee-yi-o-kie yay

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