John Denver - When I Was A Cowboy lyrics

When I was a cowboy out on de western plains When I was a cowboy out on de western plains Well, I made about half a million just puttin' on the bridle an' reins Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay Oh, de hardest battle was found on de western plains Oh, de hardest battle was found on de western plains When me an' a bunch of cowboys run into Jesse James Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay Oh, de hardest battle was found on Bunker's Hill Oh, de hardest battle was found on Bunker's Hill When me an' a bunch of cowboys run into Buffalo Bill Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay If your house catches afire, an' there ain't no water 'round If your house catches afire, an' there ain't no water 'round Throw your jerry out the window, let the doggone shack burn down Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay Come on, all you cowboys, an' don't you wanna go Come on, all you cowboys, an' don't you wanna go How to meet ther the lone ranger, an a range of Buffalo Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay Come a caw caw yippee come a caw caw yippee yippee yay, yay, yay yay
