Pecosville
was quite a cowboy
down in Texas,
and the western superman to say the least.
He was the roughest, toughest critter,
never known to be a quitter,
cause he never had no fear of man or beast.
So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh,
for the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
Once he wrote the raging cyclone
out of nowhere
Then he straddled it and
settled down with ease
And while that cyclone
bucked and flitted
Hickus rolled a smoke and lit it
And he tamed that ornery
wind down to a breeze
So yippee -aye -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh
Once there was a drought
that spread all over Texas
So to sunny California he did go
And though the gag is kinda corny
He brought rain from California
That's the way we got the Gulf of Mexico
So yippee -aye -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh
Her the toughest critter
west of the Alamo
Now once a band of rustlers
stole a herd of cattle
But they didn't know the
herd they stole was Bill's
And when he caught
them crooked villains
Pecos knocked out all their fillings
That's the reason why there's
gold in them there hills
So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh
Her the toughest critter
west of the Alamo
Oh, oh, oh, Vegas lost his way
while traveling along the desert.
Water. It was ninety miles across
the burning sand.
Water. He knew he'd never
reach the border.
Water. If he didn't
get some water.
So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande.
By Leola
While a tribe of painted Indians
did a war dance
Pecos started shooting up their little game
He gave them red skin
such a shake -up
That they jumped out of their
make -up
That's the way the painted
desert got its name
So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh
Her the toughest critter
west of the Isle of Moe
While reclinin' on a
cloud high over Texas
With his guns he made the
stars evaporate
Then Pecos saw them stars declinin'
So he left one brightly shinin'
As the emblem of the Lone Star,
Texas State
So yippee -i -yay, yippee -yay, yippee -i -oh
As the emblem of the Lone Star,
Texas State!
