_ Come along boys, [A] listen to [Em] my [A] tale I'll tell you [Em] of my troubles [A] down the old [Em] Chisholm trail
[B] I started up the trail October 23rd I started [Em] up the trail [A] with the [Em] two you heard
_ _ _ _ [A] Oh a [Em] ten dollar [A] horse and a forty [Em] dollar [E] saddle I'm going to [A] punch in [Em] Texas cattle
I woke up one morning on the old Chisholm trail A rope in my [A] hand and a cow by the _ [Em] tail _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A-Kamataya yippee yippee yay yippee yay [A] Kamataya [Em] yippee yippee yay
_ _ _ _ [A] Well a [E] stray in the [A] herd and the [Em] boss said to [B] kill it So I shot him in the rump with the [Em] handle of a skillet
My horse throwed me [A] off round the [Em] creek called mud My horse throwed me [A] off round the [Em] two you heard _ _
_ _ _ [E] The last time I saw him he was [Em] going across the [A] level He was [Em] kicking up his heels and running like the devil
[A] It's [Em] cloudy in the [E] west and looking like rain And my [Em] darn horse [A] lingered in the wagon _ [E] again

_ Well [A] the wind [Em] commenced to blow and the rain began to [B] fall It looked by our ground like we was going to [Em] lose them all
I jumped in the saddle ground hold to the horn [B] Best darn [Em] cow butcher [A]
that ever [Em] was born _ _ _ _
[A] From a [Em] foot in the [A] stirrup Ben gave [Em] a little yell The tail cattle [A] broke and the leaders [Em] went as well
[A] _ [E] Feet in the saddle [B] and feet in the stirrup I [Em] hog and rattle [A] with them longhorn [F#] cattle

[A] We rounded [Em] them up and [E] put them on the cars [B] And that [Em] was the last [A] of the old [Em] two of ours _ _ _ _
_ Going to the boss [E] to get my [B] money And I'm going down south to see my honey
With my [Em] hand on the [A] horn and my [Em] seat in the sky I'll quit her [A] cows and the sweet by [B] and by
