THE OLD CHISHOLM TRAIL RANDY TRAVIS
Hey Yall its Tin Min giving you Folks
Some old style traditional Country
The sort of songs we play on the
Cattle drive trail and campfires!!
So sit close to that fire and after a good chew
Take out our Mississippi tin sandwich and sit a spell!

With a rope in my hand and a cow by the tail,

And afore I sleep the moon shines bright

I'd just as soon be eating prairie hay.

I went to the boss to get my roll,
He figgered me out nine dollars in the hole.
CHORUS

So I'll sell my outfit as fast as I can,
And I won't punch cows for no darn man.
With my knees in the saddle and my seat in the sky
Ill quit punching cows in the sweet by and by
