Old Chisholm Trail Lyrics

Oh come along boys and listen to my tale
I'll tell you about my troubles on the old Chis'm Trail
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
Ridin' and a punchin' them Texas cattle
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

We left old Texas October twenty-third
Drivin' up the trail with a 2 U herd
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

There's mud in the gully and dust in the draw
The bossman's meaner than my mother-in-law
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Got a hole in my hat where the rain runs in
Got a hole in my boot where it runs out again
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Well the water's gettin' scarce and we're runnin' out of light
Looks like we're gonna have to drive 'em all night
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Spent two days lookin' for muley-headed calf
Ain't been to sleep in a week and a half
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yayCharlie Daniels Band - Old Chisholm Trail - http://motolyrics.com/charlie-daniels-band/old-chisholm-trail-lyrics.html

I woke up one morning on the old Chis'm Trail
With a rope in my hand and a cow by the tail
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay
[ fiddle ]
Well it's bacon and beans most every day
I'd as soon be eatin' that prairie hay
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Well the days are hot and the nights are cold
This cowboy life is gettin' mighty old
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

I reckon I'm as crazy as a Catahoula pup
I've tried and I've tried but I can't give it up
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Well I went to the boss to draw my roll
He figgered me out nine dollars in the hole
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Well there ain't no leavin' so I guess I'm gonna stay
I'll be punchin' them cattle for the rest of my days
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay
Ti yi yippy yippy yay
