Lyrics John Denver

John Denver

When I Was a Cowboy

When I was a cowboy out on de western plains

When I was a cowboy out on de western plains

Well, I made about half a million just puttin' on the bridle an' reins

Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay

Oh, de hardest battle was found on de western plains

Oh, de hardest battle was found on de western plains

When me an' a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James

Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay

Oh, de hardest battle was found on Bunker's Hill

Oh, de hardest battle was found on Bunker's Hill

When me an' a bunch of cowboys run into Buffalo Bill

Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay

If your house catches afire, an' there ain't no water 'round

If your house catches afire, an' there ain't no water 'round

Throw your jerry out the window, let the doggone shack burn down

Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay

Come on, all you cowboys, an' don't you wanna go

Come on, all you cowboys, an' don't you wanna go

How to meet ther the lone ranger, an a range of Buffalo

Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay

Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay

Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay, yay, yay yay
