Chisholm Trail |
Come along boys and listen to my tale |
Tell you of my trouble on the old Chisholm Trail |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Well, I started up the trail October twenty-third |
Started up the trail with a 2-U herd |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle |
I’m going cut them Texas cattle |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Woke up one morning on the old Chisholm Trail |
My rope in my hand and a cow by the tail |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Cloudy in the west, looking like rain |
My danged old slicker’s in the wagon again |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Jumped in the saddle and I grabbed that horn |
The best blamed cowboy ever was born |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Don’t give a damn if I never do stop |
Ride just as long as an eight day flop |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Foot in the stirrup and a hand on the horn |
The best danged cowboy ever was born |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Stray in the herd and the boss said, «Kill it,» |
Hit him in the rump with the handle of a skillet |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Bacon and beans most every day |
Soon to be eating that prairie hay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Best dang horse, going on a run |
Quickest shooting cowboy ever pulled a gun |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Well, I went to the wagon to get my roll |
Had had me figured nine dollars in the hole |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Well, sell my outfit quick as I can |
And I won’t punch cattle for no damn man |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Going to town to draw my money |
Going to town to see my honey |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
Knees in the saddle and a seat in the sky |
Quit my boss and say goodbye |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay |
Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay |
