I’m an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain’t bowed
And my cheeks ain’t tanned
I’m a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don’t know how
And I sure ain’t fixin’ to start in now
Yippee iokiyay
I’m an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride
Before I learned to stand
I’m a ridin’ fool who is up to date
And I know every trail in the Lone Star State
Because I ride the range in my Ford V8
Yippy iokiyay
I’m an old cowhand from the Rio Grand
And I come to town
Just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
About the big corral where the doggies go
Because I learned them all on the radio
Yippy iokiyay
