When I Was a Cowboy

When I was a cowboy Out on the Western plains I made about a million dollars Pulling on the bridle reins Singing Ti Yi Yippi Yi Ti Yi Yippi Yi Yay We fought the hardest battle Ever since Bunker's Hill When me and a bunch of cowboys Run into Buffalo Bill singing Singing Ti Yi Yippi Yi Ti Yi Yippi Yi Yay Look out, look out Come on all you Cowboys Don't you wanna go? Ride with the Texas Rangers On down to Mexico Singing Ti Yi Yippi Yi Ti Yi Yippi Yi Yay Look out, look out Bullets was a-flying Like a shower of rain When me and a bunch of cowboys Run into Jesse James Singing Ti Yi Yippi Yi Ti Yi Yippi Yi Yay If you're afraid of dying If you're afraid of death You best not gimme no trouble You might draw your last breath Singing Ti Yi Yippi Yi Ti Yi Yippi Yi Yay 'Cause I'm the greatest Cowboy Ever on the Western plains No bullet ever could catch me No bullet ever had my name Singing Ti Yi Yippi Yi Ti Yi Yippi Yi Yay Look out look out One night out on the Western plains the boys was sitting around the campfire They began to get drunk, then they wanted to fight They began to think about this man who lived out on the outskirts of town cnd the fact they didn't have much love for him So they got up and got on their horses rode on over to his house and circled around Their horses was walking their pistols were talking They shot up that man's house pretty good cnd after a while they began to feel sorry for him So they thought they'd' sing out to him with some advice Here's what it was If your house catch on fire There ain't no water 'round Your house catch on fire There ain't no water 'round If your house catch on fire There ain't no water 'round You best jump out the window Let the dog-gone shack burn down Singing Ti Yi Yippi Yi Ti Yi Yippi Yi Yay Look out look out I punched them long-horn cattle When I was young and bold Now I'm just an old Cowboy Telling tall tales 'fore I grow old Singing Ti Yi Yippi Yi Ti Yi Yippi Yi Yay Yee-haw
