[Verse 1]
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
Well I made a half a million
A-swingin' on the bridle rein

[Chorus]
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay

[Verse 2]
Well, bullets was a-fallin'
Out on the western plain
Bullets was a-rainin'
Out on the western plain
When me and a buncha cowboys
Run into Jesse James

[Chorus]
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Hey
[Guitar Solo]

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 3]
If your house catches on fire
And there ain't no water 'round
Well, if your house catches on fire
And there ain't no water 'round
Throw your trunk out the window
Let the doggone shack burn down

[Chorus]
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay

[Verse 1]
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plain
When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plain
Well, I made a half a million
Swingin' on the bridle rein
[Chorus]
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay

[Outro]
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
Come a ti yi yippee
Ti yi yippee yippee yay
