From Whence Came the Cowboy
By Jack Hannah, sung by The Sons of the San Joaquin
Album: From Whence Came the Cowboy
Artist biography


From whence came the cowboy the history is plain,
He rode out of Europe on a frigate from Spain,
Fom Mexico southward, and northward he spread,
From the Gaucho and the Huaso, the Vaquero was bred,
Your everyday cowboy, and O' what a sight,
More dashing and dairing than a Medieval Knight,
Knight, Knight
Medieval Knight

Yippi-I yippi-o, Come a horseman from history
Yippi-I yippi-a, In all colors he came
Yippi-I yippi-o, And his name still hosds mystery
He is a legend, and Cowboy's his name, name, name
Cowboy's his name.

Then into the west from the Civil War days,
Thge white and the black cowboy rode in like a blaze,
Some will implore that all cowboys were white,
I can tell you from facts boys, that isn't right,
But of all of the cowboys that rode-a-horseback,
One fourth of thoes hombres was sure enough black,
Black, black
Sure enough black

Yippi-I yippi-o, Come a horseman from history
Yippi-I yippi-a, In all colors he came
Yippi-I yippi-o, And his name still hosds mystery
He is a legend, and Cowboy's his name, name, name
Cowboy's his name.

If you think the cowboy is all said and done,
This hombre that's carved out his place in the sun,
He isn't gone, and I'm tellin' you friend,
There's more cows and horses than there's ever been,
But a cowboy's a cowboy by whatever name,
Whatever his color, the glory's the same.
And his name like his spurs has a wonderful sound,
Keep your eye on the sunset, cause he's still around
Round, round,
He's still around

Yippi-I yippi-o, Come a horseman from history
Yippi-I yippi-a, In all colors he came
Yippi-I yippi-o, And his name still hosds mystery
He is a legend, and Cowboy's his name, name, name
Cowboy's his name.

Yippi-i-yea, yippi-yea, yippi-yea
Yippi-i-yo, yippi-yo, yippi-yo
Yippi-i-yea
