When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
Well I made a half a million
A-swingin' on the bridle rein
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Well bullets was a-fallin'
Out on the western plain
Bullets was a-rainin'
Why me and a buncha cowboys
Run into Jesse James
Come a ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Hey-aye
(harmonica solo)
If your house catches on fire
And there ain't no water 'round
Well if your house catches on fire
And there ain't no water 'round
Throw your trunk out the window
Let the doggone shack burn down
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
Well I made a half a million
A-swingin' on the bridle rein
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come ti yi yippe
