The Old Chisholm Trail
Foot in the stirrup and my hand on the horn
i'm the best darn cowboy ever was born
singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo
singing ki yi yippee yippee yay
Well, i started up the trail october twenty-third
started up the trail with a 2-u herd
Up every morning before daylight
and before i sleep the moon shines bright
With a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
i'm going down to texas for to punch them cattle
Well old ben bolt was a fine old boss
and he went to see his gal on a sore-back hoss
There's a stray in the herd and boss said kill it
so i shot him in the rump with the handle of a skillet
And i went to the boss to draw my roll
and he had me figured out nine dollars in the hole
Ropin' and a-tyin' and a-brandin' all day
i'm a-working mighty hard for a-mighty little pay
Well i went to the boss and we had a little chat
and i hit him in the face with my old slouch hat
With my foot in the stirrup and my hand on the horn
i'm the best danged cowboy ever was born
Well i'm gonna get married just as quick as i can
and i won't punch cattle for no darn man
i'm the best darn cowboy ever was born
singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo
singing ki yi yippee yippee yay
Well, i started up the trail october twenty-third
started up the trail with a 2-u herd
Up every morning before daylight
and before i sleep the moon shines bright
With a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
i'm going down to texas for to punch them cattle
Well old ben bolt was a fine old boss
and he went to see his gal on a sore-back hoss
There's a stray in the herd and boss said kill it
so i shot him in the rump with the handle of a skillet
And i went to the boss to draw my roll
and he had me figured out nine dollars in the hole
Ropin' and a-tyin' and a-brandin' all day
i'm a-working mighty hard for a-mighty little pay
Well i went to the boss and we had a little chat
and i hit him in the face with my old slouch hat
With my foot in the stirrup and my hand on the horn
i'm the best danged cowboy ever was born
Well i'm gonna get married just as quick as i can
and i won't punch cattle for no darn man
