I'm An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)

Roy Rogers, born Leonard Franklin Slye (November 5, 1911 – July 6, 1998), was an American singer and cowboy actor, one of the most heavily marketed and merchandised stars of his era, as well as being the namesake of the Roy Rogers Restaurants franchised chain. He and his wife Dale Evans, his golden palomino, Trigger, and his German Shepherd dog, Bullet, were featured in more than 100 movies and The Roy Rogers Show. The show ran on radio for nine years before moving to television from 1951 through 1957. His productions usually featured a sidekick, often either Pat Brady (who drove a Jeep called "Nellybelle"), Andy Devine, or the crotchety George "Gabby" Hayes. Rogers's nickname was "King of the Cowboys". Evans's nickname was Queen of the West. more »

I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande,
and I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand.
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date,
I know every trail in the Lone Star State,
'cause I ride the range in a Ford V Eight.
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay. 

I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande,
and I come to town just to hear the band.
I know all the songs that the cowboys know,
'bout the big corral where the doagies go,
'cause I learned them all on the radio.
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay. 

I'm An Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande,
where the West is wild 'round the Borderland,
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo,
and the Indians make you a rug or two,
and the old Bar X is a Bar-B-Q.
Yippy I O Ki Ay, Yippy I O Ki Ay.
