The Old Chisholm Trail

          Come along boys and listen to my tale,
          I'll tell you of my troubles on the old Chisholm trail.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          Oh, a ten-dollar hoss and a forty-dollar saddle,
          And I'm goin' to punchin' Texas cattle.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          I wake in the mornin' afore daylight,
          And afore I sleep the moon shines bright.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          It's cloudy in the west, a-lookin' like rain,
          And my durned old slicker's in the wagon again.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          No chaps, no slicker, and it's pourin' down rain,
          And I swear, by gosh, I'll never night-herd again.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          Feet in the stirrups and seat in the saddle,
          I hung and rattled with them long-horn cattle.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          The wind commenced to blow, and the rain began to fall,
          Hit looked, by grab, like we was goin' to lose 'em all.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          I don't give a darn if they never do stop;
          I'll ride as long as an eight-day clock.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          We rounded 'em up and put 'em on the cars,
          And that was the last of the old Two Bars.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          Oh, it's bacon and beans most every day,
          I'd as soon be a-eatin' prairie hay.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          I went to the boss to draw my roll,
          He had it figgered out I was nine dollars in the hole.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          Goin' back to town to draw my money,
          Goin' back home to see my honey.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.

          With my knees in the saddle and my seat in the sky,
          I'll quit punchin' cows in the sweet by and by.

          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea,
          Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti yi yea.
