Текст песни: Chisholm Trail + перевод

Foot in the stirrup and my hand on the horn

I’m the best darn cowboy ever was born

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

Well, I started up the trail October twenty-third

Started up the trail with a 2-U herd

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

Up every morning before daylight

And before I sleep the moon shines bright

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

With a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle

I’m going down to Texas for to punch them cattle

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

Well old Ben Bolt was a fine old boss

And he went to see his gal on a sore-back hoss

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

There’s a stray in the herd and boss said kill it

So I shot him in the rump with the handle of a skillet

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

And I went to the boss to draw my roll

And he had me figured out nine dollars in the hole

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

Ropin' and a-tyin' and a-brandin' all day

I’m a-working mighty hard for a-mighty little pay

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

Well, I went to the boss and we had a little chat

And I hit him in the face with my old slouch hat

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

With my foot in the stirrup and my hand on the horn

I’m the best danged cowboy ever was born

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay

Well, I’m gonna get married just as quick as I can

And I won’t punch cattle for no darn man

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yi yippeo

Singing ki yi yippee yippee yay
