I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I sing the songs in the cowboy band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
About the big corral where the dogies go
I learned 'em all on the radio
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay yipee-yi-o-kie yay

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I play the fiddle in the cowboy band
Here I go
[ fiddle ]
He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
He calls the dance in the cowboy band
Dosie-do all around your pard
Swing that gal till she gits tarred
Allemande left in your own backyard
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay yipee-yi-o-kie yay

He's an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And he plays the drums in the cowboy band
Bang 'em son
[ drums ]
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay yipee-yi-o-kie yay

Now it's your turn to play with a cowboy band
Grab your kazoo clap your hands
Sing along do this honky here you go now

You're an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
It's your turn to play with a cowboy band
Hear it buddy
[ guitar ]
Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay yipee-yi-o-kie yay

That was great that was very good
Now gimme that bass

Yipee-yi-o-kie-yay yipee-yi-o-kie yay
