Let me tell you, buddy
There's a faster gun
Coming over yonder
When tomorrow comes
Let me tell you, buddy
And it won't be long
Till you find yourself singing
Your last cowboy song
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
When the roundup ends
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
And the campfire dims
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
He shouts and he sings
When a cowboy trades
His spurs for wings
When the wrap my body
In the thin linen sheet
And they take my six irons
Pull the boots from my feet
Unsaddle my pony
She'll be itching to roam
I'll be halfway to heaven
Under horsepower of my own
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
When the roundup ends
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
And the campfire dims
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
He shouts and he sings
When a cowboy trades
His spurs for wings
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
I'm glory bound
No more jingle jangle
I lay my guns down
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
He shouts and he sings
When a cowboy trades
His spurs for wings
When a cowboy trades
His spurs for wings
