I'm an old cowhand(from the Rio Grande)

(Chorus)
Yipee-yi-O-kie-yay,   Yipee-yi-O-kie-yay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

And I sing the songs in the cowboy band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
About the big corral where the dogies go
'Cuz I learned 'em all on the radio

(Chorus)
And he plays the fiddle in the cowboy band
(Fiddle solo)

(Chorus)
And he calls the dance in the cowboy band
Dosie-do all around your pard
Swing that gal 'til she gits tired
Allemande left in your own backyard.

(Chorus)
And he plays guitar in the cowboy band
(Guitar solo)

(Chorus)
And he plays the bass in the cowboy band
(Bass solo)

Yipee-yi-O-kie-yay,   Yipee-yi-O-kie-yay
(Fiddle, guitar, bass instrumental chorus)

Yipee-yi-O-kie-yay,   Yipee-yi-O-kie-yay    Ooooooeeeeoooooeeeeeeoooooaaaaaeeeeoooooo.... (yodeling)   Ooooooeeeeoooooeeeeeeoooooaaaaaeeeeoooooo.... (yodeling)
Yipee-yi-O-kie-yay,   Yipee-yi-O-kie-yay
