I'm a cowboy who knows just how far you can go

And still lose a love of your lady

If you're a real cowboy you'll live with the pain

But you'll bow down your head like a tramp in the rain



And it's yippi cry ai I'm ridin' again

Holding my sack till my broken heart mends

In need of a shoulder to hold up my chin

Yippi cry ai I've lost her again



It's the first cold one that I've had today

But I've been up all night and it's early

A bad right ain't good when you've got hill to pay

I tried to hang with her and I will all the way



And it's yippi cry ai I'm ridin' again...



In need of a shoulder to hold up my chin

Yippi cry ai I've lost her again
