OLD COWHAND FROM RIO GRANDE
(Johnny Mercer)

Step aside you ornery Tenderfeet
Let a big bad buckeroo past
I'm the toughest hombre you'll ever meet
Tho' I may be the last
Yessirree we're a vanishing race
Nosirree can't last long
Step aside you ornery Tenderfeet
While I sing my song

Yippe-O-o ki ay (twice)

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-8

Yippe-I-o ki ay.(twice)

I'm an old cowhand, from the Rio Grande
Where the west is wild, 'round the border land
Where the Buffalo roam ...around the zoo,
And the indians make you a rug or two...
And the old Bar-x is a Bar-BQ

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 shore aint fixin' to start in now


I'm an old cowhand, from the Rio Grande
(line missing...will add it soon-my wife knows it!)
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the old corral where the dogies go
Cause I learned them all on the radio
