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 Eight. Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay. I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande, And I come to town just to hear the band. I know all the songs that the cowboys know, 'Bout the big corral where the doagies go, 'Cause I learned them all on the radio. Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay. I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande, Where the West is wild 'round the Borderland, Where the buffalo roam around the zoo, And the Indians make you a rug or two, And the old Bar X is a Bar-B-Q. Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay.
