Lyrics
He stands there so noble
such a handsome young cowboy
a champion of virtue
defiant and strong
Adventure and danger
are his constant companions
He lives by the law of his gun
Now the ladies stand waiting
for their hero to save
so calls quick to Ol' Broomstick
and answers their call
then races off to places
of more rustlers and bandits
As the ladies stand watching
the last bad man falls
But now the song on the prairie
is softly and faintly
playing the Sleepy Cowboy Waltz
singing hey cowboy it's time to come home
(repeat above)
Yippie-kai-yae
get along there little dogie get along
they've played out that last round-up call
Tomorrow, tomorrow
will bring a new day
so hey cowboy let's hightail it home
