COWBOY CHRISTMAS
Christmas can be lonely for the cowboy The nearest neighbor is miles away But if the night is clear you put a jingle in the harness And hitch old Nellie to the one-horse sleigh
And sing me ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay Wish me well if you are able Ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay Remember that our Savior was born in a stable Ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay And wish a cowboy Merry Christmas
Now when Mary and Joseph came into the city The rich folks didn't have room for them to stay So Mary had her baby in a lowly stable Cattle and horses wouldn't turn the Lord away
So sing me ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay Wish me well if you are able Ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay Remember that our Savior was born in a stable Ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay And wish a cowboy Merry Christmas
Now there's some that turn their noses up at cowboys We're rowdy and we're scruffy, we're not high society But remember that the angels chose to sing for shepherds And shepherds were the cowboys of Galilee
So sing me ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay Wish me well if you are able Ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay Remember that our Savior was born in a stable Ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay I wish you all a cowboy Christmas
Sing me ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay Sing me ki yi yippie yippie yi yippie ay...
