[Verse 1]
Let me tell you buddy, there s a faster gun,
comin over yonder, when tomorrow comes.
Let me tell you buddy, and it won t be long,
til you find yourself singing your last cowboy song.
[Chorus]
Yippee ki-yi-yay, when the round-up ends.
Yippee ki-yi-yay, and the campfire dims.
Yippee ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings,
When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings.
[Verse 2]
When they wrap my body in the bindling sheet,
and they take my six-irons, pull the boots from my feet,
Unsaddle my pony, she ll be itching to roam,
I ll be halfway to heaven, under horsepower of my own.
[Chorus]
Yippee ki-yi-yay, when the round-up ends.
Yippee ki-yi-yay, and the campfire dims.
Yippee ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings,
When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings.
[Chorus]
Yippee ki-yi-yay, (I m glory bound).
No more jingle jangle (I ll lay my guns down)
Yippee ki-yi-yay, he shouts and he sings,
When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings.
