Whoopee ti yi yay
Ride along lonely cowboy
Whoopee ti yi yo
You can never go home
For the lady you love
Wants an Eastern lawyer
She chose the gentlman
You chose the road
It's a long long way
For cambridge to Missouri
And this ten dollar nag
She won't get along
It's cold and it's snowin'
And the cowboy that rides her
He cries in her mane
As he hums this song
* Refrain
In a house in North Boston
The lady sits cryin'
True love has wanished
Like straw in the wind
She has a carriage
White gloves and diamonds
She has a lawyer
And cries for the man
* Refrain x 2
She chose the riches
You moved along
