Saturday Night Live – Three Very Lonesome Cowboys lyrics

(feat. Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey & Woody Harrelson)

[WOODY]
On the lonesome trail a cowboy's thoughts will wander

[ALL]
When he's sittin' in the saddle
And he's lookin' at the cattle
From behind

[WOODY]
And he sees their brown eyes blinkin'
And he swears sometimes they're winkin'

[ALL]
On the lonesome trail the thought does cross your mind
Come a ti-yi-yippee-yi-yo-ki-yay
We're three very lonesome cowboys
Come a ti-yi-yippee-yi-yo-ki-yay
We're three very lonesome cowboys

[WOODY]
And the horse gets more attractive by the campfire

[ALL]
And the cook is awful dirty
But his mouth is awful purty
When he yawns

[WOODY]
There's a woodchuck in my bedroll
And he kinda makes my head roll

[ALL]
On the lonesome trail you tend to ramble on
Come a ti-yi-yippee-yi-yo-ki-yay
We're three very lonesome cowboys
Come a ti-yi-yippee-yi-yo-ki-yay
We're three very lonesome cowboys

[WOODY]
Got a sweetheart in El Paso waitin' for me

[COWBOYS 1 & 2]
El Paso!

[WOODY]
And she's decent and she's gentle
And she's sweet and sentimental
To the core

[COWBOYS 1 & 2}
To the core!

[WOODY]
And she says we'll marry one day
And I'm seein' her come Sunday
But before I do, I think I'll see a whore

[ALL]
Come a ti-yi-yippee-yi-yo-ki-yay
We're three very lonesome cowboys
Come a ti-yi-yippee-yi-yo-ki-yay
We're three very lonesome cowboys
