Cisco Houston - Chisholm Trail lyrics

Foot in the stirrup and my hand on the horn I'm the best darn cowboy ever was born Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay Well, I started up the trail October twenty-third Started up the trail with a 2-U herd Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay Up every morning before daylight And before I sleep the moon shines bright Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay With a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle I'm going down to Texas for to punch them cattle Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay Well old Ben Bolt was a fine old boss And he went to see his gal on a sore-back hoss Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay There's a stray in the herd and boss said k** it So I shot him in the rump with the handle of a sk**et Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay And I went to the boss to draw my roll And he had me figured out nine dollars in the hole Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay Ropin' and a-tyin' and a-brandin' all day I'm a-working mighty hard for a-mighty little pay Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay Well, I went to the boss and we had a little chat And I hit him in the face with my old slouch hat Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay With my foot in the stirrup and my hand on the horn I'm the best danged cowboy ever was born Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay Well, I'm gonna get married just as quick as I can And I won't punch cattle for no darn man Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay
