My cowboy life, is so happy and free

I take my troubles, like a toy

I'm just a yodeling cowboy

[Chorus]
D G
At the set of the sun, when my work is done
D A7
On my pony, I take a ride
D G
Where the coyotes howl and the varmints prowl
D A D
With my forty-four, by my side
[Bridge]
G D
I go down that lonesome trail, just galloping long
G D A7/E D
I love to sing, this yodeling, cowboy song
