About the song
I've heard many versions of this old Texas swing standard. It's about pretend cowboys.
"If you get an outfit, you can be a cowboy too."
"If you get an outfit, you can be a cowboy too."
Lyrics
I'm an old cowhand, from the Rio Grand.
But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tanned.
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow,
never roped a steer, 'cause I don't know how, and I sure ain't fixin' to start it now.
Yipee ey-o ki-ay
But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tanned.
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow,
never roped a steer, 'cause I don't know how, and I sure ain't fixin' to start it now.
Yipee ey-o ki-ay
