The Old Chisholm Trail lyrics

Come along boys and listen to my tale

I'll tell you all my troubles on the ol' Chisholm Trail

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea

On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle

I started out punchin' them long horn cattle

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Ti yi youpy, youpy yea

Started up the trail October twenty-third

We started up the trail with the U-2 herd

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Ti yi youpy, youpy yea

Cloudy in the west and lookin' like rain

And my danged old slicker's in the wagon again

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Ti yi youpy, youpy yea

With my seat in the saddle and my hand on the horn

I'm the best dang cowboy that was ever born

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Ti yi youpy, youpy yea

It's bacon and beans most everyday

Soon we'll be eatin' that prairie hay

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Ti yi youpy, youpy yea

I'm up in the mornin' 'fore daylight

'Fore I sleep the moon shines bright

Ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea

Went to the boss to draw my roll

He figured me out nine dollars in the hole

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea

No chaps, no slickers and it's pouring rain

I swear by God I'll never night herd again

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Ti yi youpy, youpy yea

With my knees in the saddle and my seed in the sky

I'll quit punchin' cows in the sweet bye and bye

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Ti yi youpy, youpy yea

Come along boys and listen to my tale

I'll tell you all my troubles on the ol' Chisholm Trail

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea, youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy, youpy yea
