The Old Chisholm Trail

Well, come along boys and listen to my tale
I'll tell you all my troubles on the ol' Chisholm Trail
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

I started up the trail October twenty third
Started up the trail with the U2 herd
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
Started out punchin' them long horn cattle
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

With my seat in the saddle and my hand on the horn
I'm the best dang cowboy that was ever born
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

It's cloudy in the west and lookin' like rain
And my danged old slicker's in the wagon again
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

The wind began to blow and the rain began to fall
And it looked like we were gonna lose 'em all
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

No chaps, no slickers and it's pouring rain
I swear I'll never night herd again
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

I cripple my horse and I don't know how
Roping these long horn U2 cows
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

Well, I went to the boss to draw my roll
And the boss had me figured nine dollars in the hole
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

Well, me and the boss we had a little spat
So I hit him in the face with my ten gallon hat
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

The boss said to me, ''Well, I'll fire you
Not only you but the whole darn crew''
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

I'll sell my horse, I'll sell my saddle
And you can drive all your long horn cattle
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay

Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay, yippy-ay
Come ah ty-ay yippy-yippy-ay
