Hey Y�all its Tin Min giving you Folk�s Some old style traditional Country The sort of songs we play on the Cattle drive trail and campfires!! So sit close to that fire and after a good chew Take out our Mississippi tin sandwich and sit a spell! -6b 5 5 5 -4 -4 5 5 5 5 4 Oh come a-long, boys, and lis-ten to my tale, -6 -6b -6 7 5 -4 -4 I'll tell you all my trou-bles -6 -6 5 5 5 -6 on the old Chis-holm trail. (chorus) -6 -6 5 5 5 5 -6 7 -6b -6b -6b -7 Come-a-ti-yi you-py you-py yah you-py yah 5 -5 5 5 5 5 -6 7 -6b Come-a-ti-yi you-py you-py yah VERSE 2 On a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle, and im a goin� a punchin' Texas cattle. CHORUS VERSE 3 I'm up in the morning before daylight, And before I sleep the moon shine bright. CHORUS 4 woke up one morning on the Chisholm trail, With a rope in my hand and a cow by the tail, CHORUS 5 Im up in the morning afore daylight And afore I sleep the moon shines bright CHORUS 6 OH, It's bacon and beans most every day, I'd just as soon be eating prairie hay. CHORUS 7 I went to the boss to get my roll, He figgered me out nine dollars in the hole. CHORUS 8 So I'll sell my outfit as fast as I can, And I won't punch cows for no darn man. With my knees in the saddle and my seat in the sky Ill quit punching cows in the sweet by and by |
