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 varmits prowl
With my forty-four by my side.

I go down that lonesome trail
Just gallopin' '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 I go down that lonesome trail
Just gallopin' 'long
I love to sing
My yodeling cowboy song...
