Old Cowhand
We gonna do the song about the wild west
And here is a girl who knows so much about that
That old cowhand from Rio Grande
That canary from the prairie, take it away Elizabeth McQueen
(One, two, three)
The true story of my life
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
I'm a cowgirl who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
Sure ain't a fixin' to start in now
Yippee 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 before I learned to stand
I'm a riding 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
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
Oh, Jackson Roberts knows what I am talking about
Oh, Eddie Rivers
I'm an old cowhand not from the Rio Grande
And I come to town (tell 'em more!) just to hear the band
Well I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the big corral where the doggies go
Because I heard them all on the radio
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
One more time, boys
Yippie yi yo kayah
Thank you and heehaw
And here is a girl who knows so much about that
That old cowhand from Rio Grande
That canary from the prairie, take it away Elizabeth McQueen
(One, two, three)
The true story of my life
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
I'm a cowgirl who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
Sure ain't a fixin' to start in now
Yippee 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 before I learned to stand
I'm a riding fool who is up-to-date

'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8

Oh, Jackson Roberts knows what I am talking about

Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah
One more time, boys
Yippie yi yo kayah
Thank you and heehaw
