I'm An Old Cowhand Lyrics - Little Cowpoke - Nickel Creek

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande 

But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tanned 

I'm the cowboy who never saw a cow 

Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how 

I sure ain't fixin' to start in now 

Yippee I oh ti-ay, yippee I oh ti-ay 

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande 

And I learned to ride before 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 

Yippee I oh ti-ay, yippee I oh ti-ay 

We're old cowhands from the Rio Grande 

And we come to town just to hear the band 

We know all the songs that the cowboys know 

'Bout the Big Corral where the dogies go 

We learned them all on the radio 

Yippee I oh ti-ay, yippee I oh ti-ay 

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande 

Where the west is wild all around the borderland 

Where the buffalo roam around the zoo 

And the Indians run up a rug or two 

And the old Bar X is just a barbecue 

Yippee I oh ti-ay
