[Verse 1]

Oh come along, boys, and listen to my tale

I'll tell you all my sorrow on the ol' Chisholm trail

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 2]

Foot in my stirrup and my hand on the horn

I'm the best damn cowboy to ever be born

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 3]

Woke up one morning on the old Chisholm Trail

A rope in my hand and a cow by the tails

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 4]

Well, I started up the trail October twenty third

Started up the trail with a 2-U herd

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 5]

With a ten dollar horse, a forty dollar saddle

I'm gonna punch those Texas cattle

With my ti yi yippee liе lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 6]

Oh best damn horsе, goin' on a run

The quickest shooting cowboy to ever pull a gun

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 7]

Stray in the herd and the boss said, "Kill it!"

Hit him in the rump with the handle of my skillet

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 8]

Gonna sell my outfit quick as I can

I won't punch cattle for no damn man

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 9]

I'm goin' up town to see my honey

Goin' up town to spend all my money

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 10]

Feet in my saddle and a seat in the sky

Shoot my boss and say, "Bye-bye"

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay

[Verse 11]

I'm a-movin' on honey, I'm a ramblin' man

Sail back to Edinburgh just as quick as I can

With my ti yi yippee lie lay lie oh

Ti yi yippee lie ay
