Well come along kids
And listen to my tale
I’ll tell you of my troubles
On the old Chisholm trail
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
Yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yay
We left the ranch on June 23rd
With a drove of cattle
Such a mighty fine herd
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
I’m up in the morning
Before daylight
And before I sleep
The moon’s shining bright
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
Oh it’s bacon and beans
Most every day
I might as well be eating
Some prairie hay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
On a ten-dollar horse
And a forty-dollar saddle
Started up the trail
Just to punch some cattle
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
I jumped in the saddle
And grabbed the horn
I’m the very best cowboy ever born
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
Well come along kids
And listen to my tale
I’ll tell you of my troubles
On the old Chisholm trail
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
