Story behind 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."

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
