Well come along boys and listen to my tale
While I'll tell you all my troubles on the old Chisholm Trail
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
I'll go to punching those longhorn cattle
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Oh we started up the trail October twenty third
Started up the trail with the 2-U herd
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Well I'm up in the morning before daylight
And before I sleep the moon shines bright
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
It's bacon and beans most everyday
I'd soon be eating that prairie hay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Oh it's cloudy in the west and it looks like rain
And my damned old slicker is in the wagon again
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
No chaps, no slicker, and it's pouring down rain
And I'll swear by god I'll never night-herd again
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
So I went to the boss just to get my roll
And he had me figured out nine dollars in the hole
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
So I sold my horse and I sold my saddle
And I bid farewell to the longhorn cattle
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
Come-a-tie-yi-yippie-yippie-yay
