Now Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas

Why, he's 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



Once he roped a raging cyclone out of nowhere

Then he straddled it and settled down with ease

And while that cyclone bucked and flitted, Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it

And he tamed that ornery wind down to a breeze



So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo



Now once there was a drought that spread all over Texas

So to sunny Californy he did go

And though the gag is kind of corny, he brought rain from Californy

And that's the way we got the Gulf of Mexico



So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo



Now once a band of rustlers stole a herd of cattle

But they didn't know the herd they stole was Bill's

And when he caught them crooked villains

Pecos knocked out all their fillings

That's the reason why there's gold them thar hills



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 (Water...)

If he didn't get some water (Water...)

So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande



(Yodeling)



While a tribe of painted Indians did a wardance

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



So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo



While reclining on a cloud high over Texas

With his guns he made the stars evaporate

Then Pecos saw them stars declining

So he left one brightly shining

As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State



So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo



So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He's the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
