Yippee -aye, yippee -o, yippee -o
I was born to the saddle,
I'll die hunching cattle, I know
Yippee -aye, yippee -o, yippee -o
I'll roam on forever,
my home is wherever I go
Yippee -aye, yippee -o, yippee -o
If the grass gets too short
and the water holds dry
I'll stay in the saddle and root,
hog, or die
I'm headin' my pony for old Arizona,
good -bye
Yippee -yi, yippee -yo, yippee -yo
Yippee -yi, yippee -yo, yippee -yo
I was born to the saddle,
I'll ride till I die
Then I'd herd the cattle way
up in the sky
Yippee -yi, yippee -yo, yippee -yo
When the last trail is traveled,
it won't matter then I'll live in the
memory of places I've been
Yippee -yi, yippee -yo, yippee -yo
Now you take the city
with mansions and homes
I'll crowd it together with
no room to roam
Yippee -yi, yippee -yo, yippee -yo
And I'll take the ranges,
the tall prairie hay
And mountains a hundred and
ten miles away
Yippee -yi, yippee -yo, yippee -yo
I was born to the saddle,
I'll buy punching cattle, I know
Yippee -aye, yippee -oh, yippee -oh
I'll roam on forever,
my home is wherever I go
Yippee -aye, yippee -oh, yippee -oh
If the grass gets too short
and the water holds dry
I'll stay in the saddle and root,
hog, or die
I'm heading my pony for old Arizona,
goodbye
Yippee -aye, yippee -oh, yippee -oh
Goodbye! Yippee -aye!
Yippee -aye!
Yippee -aye -oh!
