Pecos Bill-Roy Rogers

Why he's 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 nor beast So yippee-I-ay-I-ya yippee-I-o He's 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 them thar hills So yippee-I-ay-I-ya yippee-I-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo Pecos lost his way while traveling on the desert Water water water It was ninety miles across the burning sand Water water water He knew he'd never reach the border Water If he didn't get some water Water So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande Yodeling While a tribe of painted Indians did a wardance Pecos started shooting up their little game He gave those redskins such a shakeup That they jumped out of their makeup That's how the Painted Desert got it's name So yippee-I-ay-I-ya yippee-I-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo While reclining on a cloud high over Texas With his guns he made the stars evaporate Then Pecos saw them stars declining So he left one brightly shining As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State So yippee-I-ay-I-ya yippee-I-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo So yippee-I-ay-I-ya yippee-I-o He's the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
