Tex Ritter lyrics : "The Chisholm Trail"

Come along, boys, and listen to my tale
Tell you of my troubles on the old Chisholm Trail
Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay


On a ten-dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
I'm a going to punch in Texas cattle

Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay

I'm up in the morning before daylight

Before I sleep the moon shines bright
Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay.


Oh, it's bacon and beans most every day
We'll soon be eating this prairie hay
Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay


With my seat in the saddle and my hand on the horn
I'm the best cowpuncher that ever was born

Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay

No chaps, no slicker, and it's pourin' down rain

I swear I'll never night herd again
Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay


A stray in the herd and the boss said, 'Kill it'
So I shot it in the rump with the handle of a skillet
Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay


I went to the boss to draw my roll
And he had me figured out, nine dollars in the hole

Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay

Me and my boss we had a little spat

So I hit him in the face with my ten gallon hat
Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay


I'm going to sell my horse, going to sell my saddle
'Cause I'm tired of punching these Longhorn cattle
Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay


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

Come a ti yi yippy, come a tee yi yay, ti yi yippy yi yay
