You're a tired little cowboy your eyes are half closed Let's put those six guns away You've been ridin' all day yippie ki yea That old stick horse you're ridin' is plumb tuckered out But he stayed with you all the way Let's give him some hay yippie ki yea Put your head on the pillow and dream for a while
Bout heroes and desperate men That ornery old outlaw's done broke out of jail But tomorrow you'll put him back in Sweet dreams little cowboy I hope you sleep well I've just got one thing left to say You sure make daddy's day yippie ki yea You sure make daddy's day yippie ki yea
