I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And 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
And I sure ain't fixin' to start it now
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand
I'm a rovin' fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
I ride 'em all in my Ford V8
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I came to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the old corral where the doggies go
I learned 'em all on the radio
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
Where the west is wild 'round the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
The Indians make you a rug or two
The old bar X is a barbecue
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
