Oh, come along, boys, listen to my tale I'll tell you all my troubles on the ol' Chisholm trail Come a-tie, yippy-yippy-yay, yippy-yay Come a-tie, yippy-yippy-yay Woke up one morning on the old Chisholm trail A rope in my hand and a cow by the tail Come a-tie, yippy-yippy-yay, yippy-yay Tie, yippy-yippy-yay It's cloudy in the West, a-lookin' like rain My darned old slicker's in the wagon again Come a-tie, yippy-yippy-yay, yippy-yay Come a-tie, yippy-yippy-yay With my knees in the saddle and the seat in the sky I quit punching cows and the sweet bye and bye Come a-tie, yippy-yippy-yay, yippy-yay Tie, yippy-yippy-yay
