Oh I m a young cowboy they say I ve done wrong
While I m restin in jail I ll sing you a song
Of a young cowpuncher who rode into town
And a county marshall they say he shot down
They say they will hang him but he ain t gonna frown
(yodel) Woopee ti yi yippee ti yo
Oh I m a young cowboy I ve landed in jail
Won t a kind hearted Cowboy come furnish some bail
There ain t no justice in this calaboose(?)
But I d get some justice if I could get loose
I ve talked to the jailor but it ain t any use
Whoopee Ti yi yippee ti yo
Oh I m a young cowboy not bad but I m bold
My side of the story is gonna be told
They ll find their mistaken they ve got the wrong man
I ll figure a way to get out of this jam
I m tired of eatin my grub from a can
Whoopee Ti yi yippee ti yo
