Dick Curless - Chisholm Trail Lyrics

Now come along boys and listen to my tale
And I'll tell you bout my troubles on the old Chisholm Trail
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Started up to trail on the April 23rd
Drivin' long horn cattle from a 2-X-herd
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
I left ol' Texas to punch those cattle
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

I woke up one mornin' on the old Chisholm Trail
With a rope in my hand and a cow by the tail
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay
[ fiddle ]
I was up that mornin' up for dayling
Fore we stopped to eat the was shinin' bright
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Now old Ben Jones was a darn good boss
But he always rode on a sore back horse
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay

Farewell trail boss I don't wish any harm
I'm goin' back east to my little ole farm
Come a ti yi yippy yay yippy yay come a ti yi yippy yippy yay
Ti yi yippy yippy yay ti yi yippy yippy yay
