Well come along kids

And listen to my tale

I’ll tell you of my troubles

On the old Chisholm trail

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay

Yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yay

We left the ranch on June 23rd

With a drove of cattle

Such a mighty fine herd

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay

I’m up in the morning

Before daylight

And before I sleep

The moon’s shining bright

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay

Oh it’s bacon and beans

Most every day

I might as well be eating

Some prairie hay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay

On a ten-dollar horse

And a forty-dollar saddle

Started up the trail

Just to punch some cattle

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay

I jumped in the saddle

And grabbed the horn

I’m the very best cowboy ever born

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay

Well come along kids

And listen to my tale

I’ll tell you of my troubles

On the old Chisholm trail

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay

Co-ma ti yi yippi yippi yay
