I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande,
D Bm7 Em7 G/B A7 Edim D G D
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tanned;
Bm F#m
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow --
Bm F#m
Never roped a steer, 'cause I don't know how,
Bm F#m
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now.

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande,
D Bm7 Em7 G/B A7 Edim D G D
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand;
Bm F#m
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date --
Bm F#m
I know every trail in the Lone Star state,
Bm F#m
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V8.

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande,
D Bm7 Em7 G/B A7 Edim D G D
And I came to town just to hear the band;
Bm F#m
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
Bm F#m
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go,
Bm F#m
'Cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
