My cowboy life is so happy and free

Out west where the laws don't bother me

I take my troubles like a toy

I'm just a yodeling cowboy



At the set of the sun when my work is done

On my pony I take a ride

Where the coyotes howl and the varmints prowl

With my forty-four by my side

I go down that lonesome trail just galloping long

I love to sing my yodeling cowboy song



Where a man is a man and a friend is a friend

Where all my cares and worries end

I have no troubles nothing but joy

I'm just a yodeling cowboy



At the set of the sun when my work is done

On my pony I take a ride

Where the coyotes howl and the varmints prowl

With my forty-four by my side

I go down that lonesome trail just galloping long

I love to sing my yodeling cowboy song
