I’m An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to 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 Eight
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay

I’m An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
’bout the big corral where the doagies go
’cause I learned them all on the radio
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay

I’m An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande
Where the West is wild ’round the Borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
And the Indians make you a rug or two
And the old Bar X is a Bar-B-Q
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay
