Trail Herdin’ Cowboy
(Bob Nolan)
Trail herdin’ cowboy, hop on your pony, singing ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
Start ridin’ now, boy, we’ll make San Antonie, singin’ ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
Long weary days and a dusty road to travel
But we’ll make the boss pay for all this battle drivin’ cattle.
Light-hearted, carefree trail herdin’ cowboy, singing’ ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
One little dogie strayed from his mother, singin’ ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
Trail herdin’ cowboy, there goes another, singin’ ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
Follow the dogies through endless days of sunshine.
When this drive is over, we’ll take our funtime all at one time.
Makes me a happy trail herdin’ cowboy, singin’ ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
Keep movin’, dogies, time is a-wastin’, singin’ ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
I’m not impatient, but why don’t you hasten? Singin’ ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
You ought to know that a certain someone’s waitin’,
You ought to know that two captivatin’, confiscatin’
Arms will enfold this trail herdin’ cowboy, singin’ ho -
“He-le-ay, he-le-o!”
