Western Plain Songtext
von Van Morrison

When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains

When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plains
Well, I made a half a million
A-swingin′ on the bridal rein

Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay

Well bullets was a-fallin'
Out on the western plain
Bullets was a-rainin′
Out on the western plain
When me and a bunch of cowboys
Run into Jesse James


Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Hey

Yeah, it's comin' ′long fine
And there ain′t no water 'round

Well if your house catches on fire
And there ain′t no water 'round
Throw your trunk out the window
Let the doggone shack burn down

Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay

When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plain

When I was a cowboy
Out on the western plain

Well, I made a half a million
Swingin′ on the bridal rein


Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippee
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
Yai yai yai yippee yippee yay

Come a tai yai yippe
Tai yai yippee yippee yay
