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
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
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
Hey, yppie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
