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

Break (steel guitar)

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
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 this yodeling
Cowboy song
