Whoopee -tie -yi -y o,
G
rockin' to and fro,
D
G
back in the saddle again.
My little boy said, Daddy,
C
who's Gene Autry?
D
His old movie was coming on TV
G
And I said,
let me tell you about him, son
C
D
G
And I took him upon my knee
Why, when I was a little
C
boy about your size
D
G
And just about every Saturday night
When I could scrape up a dime
for the movies
C
D
And when my daddy said, all right,
G
I'd be right downtown
C
at the picture show,
D
G
like everybody else that could,
to see a handsome man
C
on a big fine stallion
D
going about doing good.
G

Singin' whoopee -tie -yi -yo,

Put him back in the saddle again
D
C
Whoopee -tie -yi -yay,
G
let him go on his way
D
G
Back in the saddle again
C
while he could ride his horse
and play his guitar
D
and sing all at the same time
G
and I was riding right along there beside
C
D
him on that broomstick pony of mine
G
and you know his pistol
C
never ran out of bullets
D
when the bad guys had to be stopped
G
and somehow his bullets
C
never drew any blood
D
G
but the bad guys dropped when he shot.
C
Yeah, old Gene was an image of justice
D
and goodness and purity
G
and in the eyes of
C
a poor little country boy,
D
he made the world look better to me.

C
Whoopee tie, yay,
G
let him go on his way
D
G
Back in the saddle again
And you know the way
C
he rescued the rancher's daughter
D
It sent a thrill right up the aisle
G
And the Indian would
C
always send us home
D
G
with a good, victorious smile.
C
Now you ask me who's Gene Autry?
D
Well son, go ahead and watch the show
G
and then ride off into the sunset
C
with him
D
like I did 40 years ago.
