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
