| Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas
|
| The Western Superman to say the least
|
| He was the roughest, toughest critter
|
| Never known to be a quitter
|
| 'Cause he never had no fear of man, nor beast
|
| So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
|
| He’s the toughest critter west of the Alamo
|
| Pecos roped through raging cyclone out of nowhere
|
| He saddled it and straddled it with ease
|
| While that cyclone bucked and flitted
|
| Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it
|
| And he tamed that ordinary wind down to a breeze
|
| So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
|
| He’s the toughest critter west of the Alamo
|
| Pecos lost his way while traveling on the desert
|
| (Water, water, water)
|
| It was ninety miles across the burning sand
|
| (Water, water, water)
|
| 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 war dance
|
| Pecos started shooting up their little game
|
| He gave those redskins such a shakeup
|
| That they jumped out of their makeup
|
| That’s how the Painted Desert got it’s name
|
| While reclining on a cloud, high over Texas
|
| With his guns he made the stars evaporate
|
| As he watched them all declining
|
| He left one brightly shining
|
| As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
|
| So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
|
| As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State |
