Chisholm Trail - Woody Guthrie

Come on boys listen to my tale
Tell you bout the troubles on the old Chisholm Trail.
Chorus:
Come-a ti yi youpy, youpy ya, youpy hey.
Ti yi youpy, youpy hey.
Foot in the stirrup and the hand on the horn
I'm the best darn cowboy ever was born.
I started up the trail October twenty-third.
I started up the trail with the 2-U herd.
Up every morning fore daylight
And before I sleep the moon shine bright.
With a ten-dollar horse and a forty-dollar saddle,
Going down to Texas to punch'em cattle.
Old Ben Bolt was a fine old boss,
He went to see his gal on a sore-backed horse.
There's a stray in the herd and the boss said kill it,
So I shot him in the rump with the handle of a skillet.
Well I went to the boss to draw my roll.
He had me figured out nine dollars in the hole.
Ropin' and a-tyin' and a-brabdin' all day
I'm working mighty hard for a mighty little pay.
I went to the boss and we had a little chat
And I hit him in the face with my old slouch hat.
Well,I'm gonna get married just as quick as I can
And I won't punch cattle for no darn man.
Well I'm going to town to draw my money
Going to town to see my honey.
