Riders in the Sky - Pecos Bill lyrics

Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas

The Western Superman to say the least

He was the roughest, toughest critter

Never known to be a quitter

'Cause he never had no fear of man, nor beast

So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo

Pecos roped through raging cyclone out of nowhere

He saddled it and straddled it with ease

While that cyclone bucked and flitted

Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it

And he tamed that ordinary wind down to a breeze

So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo

Pecos lost his way while traveling on the desert

(Water, water, water)

It was ninety miles across the burning sandRiders in the Sky - Pecos Bill - http://motolyrics.com/riders-in-the-sky/pecos-bill-lyrics.html

(Water, water, water)

He knew he'd never reach the border

If he didn't get some water

So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande

While a tribe of painted Indians did a war dance

Pecos started shooting up their little game

He gave those redskins such a shakeup

That they jumped out of their makeup

That's how the Painted Desert got it's name

While reclining on a cloud, high over Texas

With his guns he made the stars evaporate

As he watched them all declining

He left one brightly shining

As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State

So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
