Old Chisholm Trail lyrics

Oh come along boys and listen to my tale I'll tell you about my troubles on the old Chis'm Trail Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle Ridin' and a punchin' them Texas cattle Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay We left old Texas October twenty-third Drivin' up the trail with a 2 U herd Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay There's mud in the gully and dust in the draw The bossman's meaner than my mother-in-law Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay Got a hole in my hat where the rain runs in Got a hole in my boot where it runs out again Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay Well the water's gettin' scarce and we're runnin' out of light Looks like we're gonna have to drive 'em all night Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay Spent two days lookin' for muley-headed calf Ain't been to sleep in a week and a half Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay I woke up one morning on the old Chis'm Trail With a rope in my hand and a cow by the tail Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay [ fiddle ] Well it's bacon and beans most every day I'd as soon be eatin' that prairie hay Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay Well the days are hot and the nights are cold This cowboy life is gettin' mighty old Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay I reckon I'm as crazy as a Catahoula pup I've tried and I've tried but I can't give it up Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay Well I went to the boss to draw my roll He figgered me out nine dollars in the hole Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay Well there ain't no leavin' so I guess I'm gonna stay I'll be punchin' them cattle for the rest of my days Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay Ti yi yippy yippy yay
