That's How The Yodel Was Born |
When you hear a cowboy yodeling a song of open range |
Your heart leaps up to hear his stirring tale |
But did you ever wonder, at the end of his refrain |
Why his voice leaps in a mournful way? |
Well, the story as it was told to me |
Was handed down through history |
Of a singing cowboy brave enough to try |
To ride the meanest ol' cayuse |
And bucked him off right at the chute |
And left him spinning way up in the sky |
The bronco jumped up and the cowboy came down |
They met at the old saddlehorn |
It made a deep impression; |
you could say it changed his life |
And that’s how the yodel was born |
Show 'em, Too Slim! |
Hang in there, Slim! |
Go, woody! |
Ride, ranger, ride! |
