| Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas And a western superman to say the least He was the roughest, toughest critter Never known to be a quitter Cos he never had no fear of man or beast So yippee aye-ay, aye-ay Yippee-aye-o For the toughest critter west of the Alamo Once he roped a raging cyclone out of nowhere Then he straddled it and settled down with ease And while that cyclone bucked and flitted Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it And he tamed that ornery wind down to a breeze Once there was a drought that spread all over Texas So to sunny Californy he did go And though the gag is kinda corny He brought rain from Californy And that's how we got the Gulf of Mexico So yippee aye-ay, aye-ay Yippee-aye-o For the toughest critter west of the Alamo Once a band of rustlers stole a herd of cattle But they didn't know the herd they stole was Bill's And when he caught them crooked villains Pecos knocked out all their fillins And that's the reason why there's gold in them there hills So yippee aye-ay, aye-ay Yippee-aye-o For the toughest critter west of the Alamo Pecos lost his way while travelin' through the desert It was ninety miles 'cross the burnin' sand He knew he'd never reach the border If he didn't get some water So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande While a tribe of painted indians did a wardance Pecos started shooting up their little game He gave those redskins such a shake up That they jumped out of their makeup That's how the Painted Desert got it's name So yippee aye-ay, aye-o For the toughest critter west of the Alamo While reclining on a cloud high over Texas With his gun he made the stars evaporate Then Pecos saw the stars declinin' So he left one brightly shinin' As the emblem of the Lone Star texas state So yippee aye-ay, aye-ay Yippee-aye-o | |||||||||||||||
