I`m An Old Cowhand (from The Rio Grande) Lyrics

I`m An Old Cowhand (from The Rio Grande)

Oh, step aside, y'all ornery tenderfeet

Cause I'm about to sing my song

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

But my legs ain't bowed, and my
cheeks ain't tan

Well 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 startin now

Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay



I'm an old cowhand from
the Rio Grande

And I learned to ride before I learned to stand

Well
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 V-8

Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay,
yippee-i-o-ki-ay



Look out, I'm gonna show y'all how to ride now

Here we go



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 radio

Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay



Now
my story's almost done, so listen up!

You ain't got much longer now



I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande

Where the west is wild
round the borderland

Where the buffalo roam around the zoo

And the
indian make you a rug or two

And the old Bar-X is the Bar-be-cue

Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay



I'm just an old
cowhand...
