Bing Crosby - I'm An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande) Lyrics

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

Sure ain't a fixin' to start in now

Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, 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 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, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah

Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, 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

'Bout the Big Corral where the doggies go

We learned them all on the radio

Yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah

I'm an old cowhand, down from the Rio Grande

Oh, where the West is wild all around the Borderland

Where the buffalo roam around the zoo

And the engines run up a rug or two

And the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah

Yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah

I'm a pioneer who began from scratch

I don't bat an eye in a shootin' match

They don't call me 'Elmer', they call me 'Satch'

Yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah

Get along little horsey, get along little horsey

Yippie yi yo kayah, oh
