Lyrics to Kids Chisholm Trail Song Lyrics
Well, come along, friends,
And listen to my tale,
I'll tell you 'bout my troubles
On the ol' Chisholm Trail,
Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay,
Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
Two-dollar hoss And a forty-dollar saddle, And I'm goin' a-punchin' Those Texas cattle. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
I can ride any hoss In the wild and woolly West, I can ride 'im, I can rope 'im, I can make 'im do his best. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
Woke up one morn On the ol' Chisholm Trail, With my head on a hoss And a cow by the tail, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
Well, it's bacon and beans 'Most ev'ry day, I'd just as soon be eatin' That ol' prairie hay. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
It's cloudy in the west, And it looks like rain, And my darned ol' slicker's In the wagon again. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
It's raining like mad And it's gittin' mighty cold, And these long-horned son-o-guns Are gittin' hard to hold. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
I hunted up my boss To draw my roll, He told me I was Nine dollars in the hole. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
Goin' to sell my hoss, Goin' to sell my saddle, Goin' to tell my boss He can keep his cattle. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
Goin' back to town To draw my money, Then I'm goin' back home For to see my honey. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
No more a cow puncher To sleep at my ease, Mid the crawlin' of the lice And the bitin' of the fleas. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
With my knees in the saddle And my seat in the sky, I'll quit punching cows In the sweet by and by. Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay, yippy, ay, Come a ti, yi, yippy-ippy, ay.
