Woody Guthrie - Chisholm Trail lyrics

Come along boys and listen to my tale Tell you of my trouble on the old Chisholm Trail Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Well, I started up the trail October twenty-third Started up the trail with a 2-U herd Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle I'm going cut them Texas cattle Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Woke up one morning on the old Chisholm Trail My rope in my hand and a cow by the tail Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Cloudy in the west, looking like rain My danged old slicker's in the wagon again Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Jumped in the saddle and I grabbed that horn The best blamed cowboy ever was born Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Don't give a damn if I never do stop Ride just as long as an eight day flop Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Foot in the stirrup and a hand on the horn The best danged cowboy ever was born Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Stray in the herd and the boss said, "k** it," Hit him in the rump with the handle of a sk**et Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Bacon and beans most every day Soon to be eating that prairie hay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Best dang horse, going on a run Quickest shooting cowboy ever pulled a gun Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Well, I went to the wagon to get my roll Had had me figured nine dollars in the hole Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Well, sell my outfit quick as I can And I won't punch cattle for no damn man Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Going to town to draw my money Going to town to see my honey Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay Knees in the saddle and a seat in the sky Quit my boss and say goodbye Come a ki yi yippee yippee yi yippee yay Come a ki yi yippee yippee yay
