1) I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande,
But 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 in now.
Yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay, yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay.
2)I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande,
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand;
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date --
I know every trail in the Lone Star state,
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V8.
Yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay, yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay.
3)I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande,
And I come to town just to hear the band.
I know all the songs that the cowboys know,
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go,
'Cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
Yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay, yippie - yi - yo - ki - yay
