When I Was a Cowboy

When I was a cowboy

Out on the western plains

When I was a cowboy

Out on the western plains

I made a half a million

Putting on the bridle reins

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

Oh, the hardest battle was there ever on the western plains

Oh, the hardest battle was there ever on the western plains

When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James

When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James

They bullets was a'falling just like a shower rain

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

Woah, the hardest battle was there ever on Bunker Hill

Woah, the hardest battle was there ever on Bunker Hill

When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Buffalo Bill

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

Them boys had it all in for some man on the outskirts of town

And they had made the horses drunk

They had made them 45's drunk

And the boys had already got drunk

And all around that man's house

Them horses was a-walking and them 45's was a-talking

And they sent there best regards to that man and here what they said

Your house catches on fire and ain't no water around

Your house catches on fire ain't no water around

So you jerry out your window and dog won't shag burn down

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

Come all you cowboys, don't you want to go?

Come all you cowboys, don't you want to go?

Come meet the Lone Ranger on the range of Buffalo

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay

Come a cow-kai-yippie

Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay
