I'm An Old Cowhand (from The Rio Grande) Lyrics - Way Out West - Sonny Rollins

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande 

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

I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow 

Never roped a steer cause I don't know how 

Sure ain't a fixin to start in now 

Yippie yi yo kayah 

I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande 

And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand 

I'm a riding 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 

Yippie yi yo kayah

We've Got Handwritten Lyrics From Americana Sensations The Lone Bellow 

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 doggies go 

We learned them all on the radio 

Yippie yi yo kayah 

I'm an old cowhand 

Oh yes, Mr. Bing. 

Too hot for you, Uncle Fudd? 

Down from the Rio Grande 

Oh where the west is wild all around the borderland 

Where the buffalo roam around the zoo 

and the Injuns run up a rug or two 

and the old Bar X is just a barbecue, yeah 

Yippie yi yo kayah

I'm a pioneer who began from scratch 

I don't bat an eye in a shootin' match. 

They don't call me Elmer, they call me Satch. 

Yippie yi yo kayah 

Yippie yi yo kayah 

Get along little horsy 

Get along little horsy 

Yippie yi yo kayah, oh!
