REMEMBERING SINGING COWBOYS

The nearest I came

To the wild, wild West

Were the singing cowboys

In a movie screen play

Their lingo and music

Had a certain zest

With a yippie-kay-oh

And a yippee kay-ay

For those movies hours

Of my yesterday

Gene Autry, Bill Boyd

And Roy Rogers, too

Fought the villainous rustlers

And made them pay

For their dastardly deeds

And I’m happy say

They’d win the sweetheart

Of the western range

And ride off with her

Beyond the hill

Into the setting sun

Singing the songs

That echo still

Down through the years

Into our today

With a yippee kay-oh

And a remembered kay-ay
