Come along, boys, and listen to my tale
on the old Chisholm Trail
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
Well, I started up the trail October 23rd
Started up the trail with the big U -Herd
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
on the old Chisholm trail
A rope in my hand and a cow by the tail
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
He'd go to court the gals
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
Well, it's beans and a -bakin' every day
I'll soon be eatin' that prairie hay
Well, it's cloudy in the west,
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -ay
Well, I jumped in the saddle,
The best darn cowboy ever was born
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -ay
Oh, well, I went to the boss to draw my roll
forty dollars in the hole
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
So I'll sell my outfit fast as I can
I won't punch cattle, burn no darn man
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
With my knees in the saddle,
Quit punching cattle in the
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
Come a -tie -ie -yippie -yippie -yay
