When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let me tell you, buddy
There's a faster gun
Coming over yonder
When tomorrow comes
Let me tell you, buddy
And it won't be long
Till you find yourself singing
Your last cowboy song
[Chorus]
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
When the round-up ends
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
And the campfire dims
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
He shouts and he sings
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
[Verse 2]
When they wrap my body
In the bindlin' sheet
And they take my six irons
Pull the boots from my feet
Unsaddle my pony
She'll be itching to roam
I'll be halfway to heaven
Under horsepower of my own
[Chorus]
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
When the round-up ends
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
And the campfire dims
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
He shouts and he sings
When a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
[Outro]
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
I'm glory-bound
No more jingle jangle
I lay my guns down
Yippee-ki-iy-ay
He shouts and he sings
