This is a Q version of Harry Connick Jr.' version.

Step aside you ol' onry tenderfeet
cause I'm about to sing my song

I'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
An Sure ain't a fixin to start in now

Yippie yi yo ki yay
Yippie yi yo ki yay

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride, fore I learned to stand
Well 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 ki yay
Yippie yi yo ki yay

This is a long bridge, in Texas everything is large
That's what they say, so this a long one.

I'm old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'bout the big corral where the dogies go
cause I learned them all from the radio o o
Yippie yi yo ki yay

Yippie yi yo ki yay

Now my story's almost done
so, listen up
ain't got much longer now3:38

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
where! the west is wild round the borderland
Where the buffalo roam, around the zoo
and the Indians make you a rug or two
and the old Bar X is a barbecue,

Yippie yi yo ki yay
Yay ay!

Yippie yi yo ki yay
Yay ay!

Yippie yi yo ki yay

I'm an ol' cowhand

(Feel free to mooooo me, just no rotten vegetables thrown.)

Jerry: @qwirky OK, truthfully....are those before and after pictures? I love all things Western, esp your clever and talented cover of this grand song. I put on my twin 6-shooters, fringed chaps, boots and belt just to listen to this. My neighbors wished I'd also put on jeans...but what the heck Love this Rich...you're being inducted into the western museum in Oklahoma City I'm told!!
