A Song that puts the western back in country & western, wherein unlikely cowboy meets cowgirl and helps her drive her cattle to the railhead in Kansas, only to find he can't get paid unless he goes on with her to San Jose, California. I wish you could see the movie in my head. Makes me want to write the screenplay! Click on the triple-line symbol to open the list at the top of my website Home Page www.garyeandrews.com "Yippee Yi Yo" 3:45 © March 20, 2000 by Gary E. Andrews All Rights Reserved for the Globe Chords G 32OOO3 ? XOO21O C X32O1O ? XO3213 ? X32O13 (Verse I) She said she was lookin' for a cowboy. She asked me if I could play that part. She said, "If you're gonna play it, Play it now boy." I decided to start, (Chorus Refrain) Singin' Yippie Yi, Yippie Yi, Yippie Yi Yo. Yippie Yi, Yippie Ki Yi, Yippie Yi Yo oo-oo-oo. (Verse II) She said she was havin' a sweet dream, then woke up with a broken hear-art. She said, "If you're gonna meet me, Meet me halfway." I said, "I met ya halfway from the start." (Bridge) We drove those doggies out of Texas. She swore she'd pay me in Santa Fe. She said, "Is it a problem, us bein' o-pposite sexes?" I told 'er, "We'll find out on the way, Singin' Yippie Yi, Yippie Yi, Yippie Yi Yo. Yippie Yi, Yippie Ki Yi, Yippie Yi Yo-oo-oo-oo. (Verse III) Then it just seems we drifted a-par-art. I wondered if I'd ever, See her a-gain. I wondered if she knew, She took my hear-art. Then, one day in Sacramento, She stepped out of a van, Singin' Yippie Yi, Yippie Yi, Yippie Yi Yo. Yippie Yi, Yippie Ki Yi, Yippie Yi Yo oo-oo-oo. We drove those doggies out of Texas. She swore she'd pay me in Santa Fe. She said, "Is it a problem, us bein' o-pposite sexes?" I told 'er, "We'll find out on the way, Singin' Yippie Yi, Yippie Yi, Yippie Yi Yo. Yippie Yi, Yippie Ki Yi, Yippie Yi Yo-oo-oo-oo.

Hi Gary,
No link to the song?
I was able to find it, but I had to forward through 9-10 songs to get to it, in the media player on your web page.
Cowboy/now boy..very nice!
Nice write, fun story..nice performance..could use a pop screen, but that's a minor nit..

Great song. The chorus refrain is very entertaining. This song invites the crowd to sing along. "Yippie Yi Yo-oo-oo-oo!"
Have fun!

Gary,
Love the sound of this one—very catchy chorus; pretty sweet vocal to go with throughout. Nice lyrics in that second verse—actually really strong lyrics throughout. This was a great listen. Terrific write and performance. Well done!
My best to you,
Deej

Yes Michael, that whole set of recordings was a fluke. I came out of the hermitage that summer and stumbled into a recording opportunity, and, since that's all I had, I went with it. I pop the P's, bump the B's, graze the mic, miss my cues vocally, forget the words, screw up the guitar execution. It's a fluke at best.

Well, your voice is no fluke!! You need to do some real recordings! But I’ve been telling you that for years now....
