Yippie yi yo kayah

- I'm an Old Cowhand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej-gAKR6OMI


'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tan
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don't know how
Sure ain't a fixin to start in now
Yippie yi yo kayah

I'm an old cowhand and I come down from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride, ride, ride 'fore I learned to stand
I'm a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Yippie yi yo kayah

We're old cowhands from the Rio Grande
And we come to town just to hear the band
We know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bbout the big corral where the doggies go
We learned them all on the radio
Yippie yi yo kayah

2. Ouch, that version hurts my teeth!
The original by Bing Crosby is great, supported by the big band sound and the Andrews Sisters, but I really, really like Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks version (Dan sits it out and lets the Hot Licks do the singing, giving the song just the right sound in my mind).

Dan Hicks version isn't to be found on youtube, but here's the Crooner's voice played to some stop motion animation:
