C5            A5                           G5
Oh I'm a young cowboy they say I've done wrong
          C5          A5       G5            C5   
While I'm restin' in jail I'll sing you a song
C5    F5                   C5             
Of a young cowpuncher who rode into town
             C5            D5             G5
And a county marshall they say he shot down
     C5        E5   C5              F5           C5  
They say they will hang him but he ain't gonna frown
                      G5         C5
(yodel) Woopee ti yi yippee ti yo

Oh I'm a young cowboy I've landed in jail
Won't a kind hearted Cowboy come furnish some bail
There ain't no justice in this calaboose(?)
But I'd get some justice if I could get loose
I've talked to the jailor but it ain't any use
Whoopee Ti yi yippee ti yo

Oh I'm a young cowboy not bad but I'm bold
My side of the story is gonna be told
They'll find their mistaken they've got the wrong man
I'll figure a way to get out of this jam
I'm tired of eatin my grub from a can
Whoopee Ti yi yippee ti yo
