The Old Chisholm Trail

The Old Chisholm Trail - Michael Martin Murphey (邁可-馬丁-墨菲)

Oh come along boys and listen to my tale

I'll tell you all my troubles on the ol' Chisholm trail

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

I jumped in the saddle an' I grabbed a-hold the horn

The best damned cowpuncher ever was born

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle

I was ridin' and a punchin' Texas cattle

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

We left ol' Texas October twenty-third

Drivin' up the trail with the U-2 herd

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

I woke up one morning on the Chisholm trail

With a rope in my hand and a cow by the tail

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

I'm up in the morning before daylight

And before I sleep the moon shine bright

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

Oh it's cloudy in the west and a lookin' like rain

And my darned old slicker's in the wagon again

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

No chaps no slicker and it's pouring down rain

And I swear by God I'll never night herd again

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

And I swear by God I'll never night herd again

I herded and I hollered and I done pretty well

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

Jam ball

Oh the wind commenced to blow and the rain began to fall

And it looked by grab that we was gonna lose 'em all

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

I crippled my horse don't know how

Rope at the horse in the cow

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

With lighting desire tandering the rain

No waste been raining like a hip on hill

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

Horse swear me out cripple mud

Horse swear me out free call out

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

Lass time shown and running town out

Kicking of the sail and running like trouble

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

We round it up and put up in the curse

That was end in the two hours yet

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

I went to the boss to get my roll

He figured me out nine dollars in the hole

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

Now me and the boss with heddle and space

So I'll sell my outfit as fast as I can

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

Postman said I will fire you

I don't need you but a whole day crew

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

So I sold my horse and I sold saddle

And you go to hell long horn cattle

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

And I held me hole to the days of three

I pull up my girl to the see

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

Tell me said

You better quick that cowboy lie

If you ever wanna have that pretty little eye

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

I sell my saddle and buy me a player

And I swear by God I'll never night herd again

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea youpy yea

Come a-ti yi youpy youpy yea

Come on
