Pecos Bill

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
