I'm An Old Cowhand

(альбом: His Greatest Hits - 1960)

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 fixing to start it now
(Yippie-yi-yo -ki-yay, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay)

I'm an Indian lass from Cahuenga Pass
For a kiss and hug, I will answer "ugh!"
Just a Cherokee from Virginia way
I'm the squaw who say "how y'all today?"

How you like that heap corny joke I say?
You no laugh, me no smile (oogh, you no laugh me no smile)

He's an old cowhand from New Orleans
And he played his horn since he's in his teens
Sam Butera!

(Yippie-yi-shoo-bee-doo, yippie-yi-shoo-bee-doo)

Too hot for you, Uncle down in Cajun land
Comes a swinging cat—he's the trombone man
Lou Sino!

(Oo-le-la um-boo-shay, yippie-yi-yi-oo-le-la um-boo-shay)

I'm an old cowhand, just a family man
With my buckaroos, Tdoitndall me Elmer, they call me Satch
Yippie yi yo kayah
Yippie yi yo kayah

Get along little horsy
Get along little horsy
Yippie-yippie-yippie-yippie-yippie-yippie-yip ki-yay!
