I've been to Chicago, and I like Chicago

And I've been to New Orleans, and I like New Orleans

I've been to New Hampshire, and I like New Hampshire

I like North, East, South, West
But the place I like most is the best

But the place she likes best is the West!

I wanna go to a big empty space
Where the cows and the cantaloupes play
Wanna be a "cowboygal", wanna sit in my "corral"
And yipsy-ay-o and ki-yay

She wanna yipsy-ay-o and ki-yay

She wants to horse with some good-looking chaps
Wants to "chew up the dust" like they say
Wanna put around some boots
And she'll loosen lots of juice
And yipsy-ay-o and ki-yay

She wanna yipsy-ay-o and ki-yay

When I'm hips-i-o in Cayenne
I'll put any others to shame
I don't know who she is or what I'm saying
But I have lots of fun just the same

To take a round where they don't have a fence
When she goes let her go there away

And my day will be full when I throw a little bull
And yipsy-ay-o
And yipsy-ay-o
And yipsy-ay-o and ki-yay

Aqui se diz que eu não falo bem o inglês, obá! obá!
Meu português para eles "is the best"
Sempre que eu acho?
Um despacho debaixo do meu capacho
Se eu não me agacho eu acho que me esborracho

Hey Carmen!

What?

Come back to the West!

Oh, oh... Give me my rusty 42

45!

And give me a cow that I can punch

I'll punch you!

And give me some bottles and some booze

Some "boze"?

Then I bet that I reckon that I've stayed

She wants to be a "cowboygal"
Wants to sit on her "corral"
And yipsy-ay-o
And yipsy-ay-o
And yipsy-ay-o and ki-yay

Get along! Get along! Get along!
