Come along boys and listen to my tale |
|
Tell you of my trouble on the old Chisholm Trail |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Well, I started up the trail October twenty-third |
|
Started up the trail with a 2-U herd |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle |
|
I'm going cut them Texas cattle |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Woke up one morning on the old Chisholm Trail |
|
My rope in my hand and a cow by the tail |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Cloudy in the west, looking like rain |
|
My danged old slicker's in the wagon again |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Jumped in the saddle and I grabbed that horn |
|
The best blamed cowboy ever was born |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Don't give a damn if I never do stop |
|
Ride just as long as an eight day flop |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Foot in the stirrup and a hand on the horn |
|
The best danged cowboy ever was born |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Stray in the herd and the boss said, "Kill it," |
|
Hit him in the rump with the handle of a skillet |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Bacon and beans most every day |
|
Soon to be eating that prairie hay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Best dang horse, going on a run |
|
Quickest shooting cowboy ever pulled a gun |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Well, I went to the wagon to get my roll |
|
Had had me figured nine dollars in the hole |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Well, sell my outfit quick as I can |
|
And I won't punch cattle for no damn man |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Going to town to draw my money |
|
Going to town to see my honey |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
|
Knees in the saddle and a seat in the sky |
|
Quit my boss and say goodbye |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
|
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
