I'm Bound to Follow the Longhorn Cows - Alan Lomax/Avon Cities Skiffle Group/Fannie Davis/Louis Metcalf[00:00:00]

I'm bound to follow the longhorn cows[00:00:00]

Until I get too old[00:00:03]

It's well I work for wages boys[00:00:07]

And get my pay in gold[00:00:10]

My bosses they all like me well[00:00:14]

They say I'm hard to beat [00:00:16]

Because I give 'em the bum stand off[00:00:19]

They know I've got the cheek[00:00:21]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:00:24]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:00:29]

Now I'm a Texas cowboy[00:00:35]

Just off the stormy plains[00:00:39]

My trade is girtin' saddles[00:00:42]

And pullin' bridle reins [00:00:45]

Oh I can tip the lasso[00:00:48]

It is with graceful ease[00:00:50]

I can rope a streak of lightnin'[00:00:52]

And ride 'er where I please[00:00:56]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:00:59]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:01:04]

Now if I had me a little stake[00:01:11]

I soon would married be[00:01:13]

But another week and I must go[00:01:15]

The boss said so today[00:01:17]

My girl must cheer up courage[00:01:20]

And choose some other one[00:01:23]

For I'm bound to follow the Lone Star Trail[00:01:26]

Until my race is won [00:01:28]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:01:31]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:01:36]

It's when we're on the trail[00:01:42]

Where the dust and the billows fly[00:01:43]

It's fifty miles from water[00:01:46]

And the grass is scorchin' dry[00:01:48]

The boss gets mad and ringy[00:01:53]

As you can plainly see[00:01:55]

And I want to leave the trail my boys[00:01:57]

And an honest farmer be [00:01:59]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay [00:02:02]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:02:05]

And when we get them bedded[00:02:09]

Boys[00:02:10]

We think it's for the night[00:02:11]

Some horse will shake his saddle[00:02:13]

And give that herd a fright[00:02:15]

They'll rise up to their feet my boys[00:02:19]

And madly dash away[00:02:21]

Then it's movin' time[00:02:23]

To the lead my boys[00:02:25]

You'll hear some cowboy say[00:02:26]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:02:28]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:02:32]

And when we get them rounded up[00:02:38]

And quietened down again[00:02:40]

A dark cloud will rise in the west[00:02:42]

And fire will play on their horns[00:02:44]

The boss will say[00:02:47]

Stay with 'em boys[00:02:48]

Your pay will be in gold[00:02:49]

I'm bound to follow the longhorn steer[00:02:52]

Until I get too old[00:02:54]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:02:56]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:03:00]

When I get in Kansas[00:03:07]

I had a pleasant dream[00:03:09]

I dreamt I's down on the Trinity[00:03:12]

Down by that pleasant stream[00:03:14]

My true love right beside me[00:03:17]

She'd come to go my bail[00:03:19]

But I woke up broken hearted[00:03:22]

With a yearling by the tail[00:03:24]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:03:27]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:03:30]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:03:32]

Ki-yi-yippee yippee-yay[00:03:35]
