Whoo-ooh-ooh-oop-doo-doo Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Yod-el-od-el-lo-ti-deThe cattle are prowlin’, the coyotes are howlin’
Way out where the dogies bawl Where spurs are a-jinglin’, a cowboy is singin’ This lonesome cattle callWhoo-ooh-ooh-doo-di-di
Whoo-ooh-ooh-oop-doo-doo Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Yod-el-od-el-lo-ti-deHe rides in the sun ’til his days work is done
And he rounds up the cattle each fall Ooh-ooh-ooh-doo-di-di Singin’ his cattle callFor hours, he would ride on the range far and wide
When the night winds blow up a squall His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather He sings his cattle callWhoo-ooh-ooh-doo-di-di
Whoo-ooh-ooh-oop-doo-doo Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Yod-el-od-el-lo-ti-deHe’s brown as a berry from ridin’ the prairie
And he sings with an ol’ western drawl Ooh-ooh-ooh-doo-di-di Singing his cattle callOoh-ooh-ooh-doo-di-di
Whoo-ooh-ooh-oop-doo-doo Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Yod-el-od-el-lo-ti-de
