The Chisholm Trail (Tex Ritter)

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
