Introduction:
D Bm7 Em7 G/B A7 Eº D G D
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
D Bm7 Em7 G/B A7 Eº D G D
But my legs ain't bowed and my cheeks ain't tanned
Bm F#m
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Bm F#m
Never roped a steer, 'cause I don't know how
Bm F#m
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now

I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
D Bm7 Em7 G/B A7 Eº D G D
And I learned to ride 'fore I learned to stand
Bm F#m
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
Bm F#m
I know every trail in the Lone Star state
Bm F#m
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V8

And I came to town just to hear the band
Bm F#m
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
Bm F#m
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go
Bm F#m
'Cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
