You're a tired little cowboy your eyes are half closed
Let's put those six guns away
You've been ridin' all day yippie ki yea

That old stick horse you're ridin' is plumb tuckered out
But he stayed with you all the way
Let's give him some hay yippie ki yea

Put your head on the pillow and dream for a while
Bout heroes and desperate men
That ornery old outlaw's done broke out of jail
But tomorrow you'll put him back in

Sweet dreams little cowboy I hope you sleep well
I've just got one thing left to say
You sure make daddy's day yippie ki yea
You sure make daddy's day yippie ki yea
