When I Was a Cowboy

When I was a cowboy Out on the western plains When I was a cowboy Out on the western plains I made a half a million Putting on the bridle reins Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay Oh, the hardest battle was there ever on the western plains Oh, the hardest battle was there ever on the western plains When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James They bullets was a'falling just like a shower rain Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay Woah, the hardest battle was there ever on Bunker Hill Woah, the hardest battle was there ever on Bunker Hill When me and a bunch of cowboys run into Buffalo Bill Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay Them boys had it all in for some man on the outskirts of town And they had made the horses drunk They had made them 45's drunk And the boys had already got drunk And all around that man's house Them horses was a-walking and them 45's was a-talking And they sent there best regards to that man and here what they said Your house catches on fire and ain't no water around Your house catches on fire ain't no water around So you jerry out your window and dog won't shag burn down Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay Come all you cowboys, don't you want to go? Come all you cowboys, don't you want to go? Come meet the Lone Ranger on the range of Buffalo Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay Come a cow-kai-yippie Come a cow-kai-yippie yippie yay
