“Lone Star Trail” 

1.
I started on the trail on June twenty-third,
I been punchin’ Texas cattle on the Lone Star Trail;
Refrain:
Singin’ Ki yi yippy, yippy yay, yippy yay!
Singin’ Ki yi yippy, yippy yay!
2. I get up in the morn before the daylight,
And before I go to sleep the moon is shining bright.
Refrain
3.
It’s bacon and it’s beans almost every day,
But I wouldn’t mind a change if it was prairie hay.
Refrain
4. My feet are in the stirrups and my rope is on the side,
Show me a horse that I can’t ride.
