I’m an Old Cowhand (from the Rio Grande) Songtext
von Asleep at the Wheel

Yippie yi yo kaya
Yippie yi yo kaya

I′m an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed, oh no
And my cheeks ain′t tan
I am a cowgirl who's never seen a cow
I've never roped a steer ′cause I don′t know how
And I sure ain't fixin′ to start in now

Yippie yi yo kaya
Yippie yi yo kaya


I am an old cowhand, and I am from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
I am a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in my Ford V-8

Yippie yi yo kaya
Yippie yi yo kaya

I am an old cowhand, and I am from the Rio Grand
And I come to town just to hear the band
Well, I know all the songs that the cowboys know
About the big corral where the doggies go
Because I heard them all on the radio

Yippie yi yo kaya
