Woke up one mornin' on the Chisholm Trail

Come a ki wopa li yippee yi yay
D                 G
Come a ki wopa li yay

Well I went to my boss and I hit him for a roll
C                      G
He figures me out nine dollars in the hole
D                 G
Come a ki wopa li yippee yi yay
D                 G
Come a ki wopa li yay

G
Well my feet on the stirrups and my hand on the horn

D                 G
Come a ki wopa li yippee yi yay
