Lyrics
[Intro]
All hands on deck
[Verse 1]
I am the pirate cowboy who sailed into the west
Put wagon wheels on me clipper and fringe upon me vest
I got a scurvy crew of roughnecks who aims to be the best
And from the galley to the head, poop deck to the crow's nest
[Verse 2]
We crossed the Mighty Miss into the Grand Prairie
Chasing after buffalo and trading with the Cherokee
I'm flying the Jolly Roger so you can plainly see
We're the buccaneering bronco boys making history
[PreChorus]
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
[Chorus]
We're the roughest rooting, tooting, swashbuckling, and keelhauling
Roping, branding, parrot-wearing, anchor-weighing, hats a-waving
Bean eating and treasure-seeking
Yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling
Yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, layley-a-la-hoo
Pirates you've ever seen
[Verse 3]
Some say we scallywags
Should stick to the ocean blue
And plunder for our booty
Like the other pirates do
But the big skies and the tumbleweed
They were calling to me crew
Plus, since I was just a minnow, I wanted to be a buckaroo
[PreChorus]
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
[Chorus]
We're the roughest rooting, tooting, swashbuckling, and keelhauling
Roping, branding, parrot-wearing, anchor-weighing, hats a-waving
Bean eating and treasure-seeking
Yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling
Yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, layley-a-la-hoo
Pirates you've ever seen
[Bridge]
Take it, matey
[Bridge]
Now the cactus and the hardtack keep us sailing by the day
We shiver the ponderosa, set a course for Santa Fe
I gave up all them hurricanes to be a rider of the sage
And cast my nets upon the land, where the deer and the antelope play
[PreChorus]
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
Yo-ho
Yo-ho
Yee-haw
Yee-haw
[Chorus]
We're the roughest rooting, tooting, swashbuckling, and keelhauling
Roping, branding, parrot-wearing, anchor-weighing, hats a-waving
Bean eating and treasure-seeking
Yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, yodeling
Yodeling, yodeling, yodeling, layley-a-la-hoo
Pirates you've ever seen
[Outro]
Land ho
