Am
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
Well I made a half a million
A-swingin' on the bridle rein

Chorus:
        Em
Come a ti yi yippee
                    Am
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
       Em
Come a ti yi yippee
                     Am
Ti yi yippee yippee yay

Well, bullets was a-fallin'
Out on the western plain
Bullets was a-rainin'
Out on the western plain
When me and a buncha cowboys
Run into Jesse James

Chorus:
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Hey

If your house catches on fire
And there ain't no water 'round
Well, if your house catches on fire
And there ain't no water 'round
Throw your trunk out the window
Let the doggone shack burn down

Chorus:
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay

When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plain
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plain
Well, I made a half a million
Swingin' on the bridle rein

Chorus:
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay

Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
