Acres Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas, and a western superman to say the least.
He was the roughest, toughest critter, never known to be a critter, cause he never had no fear of man or beast.
So Yippee-I-A-I-A, Yippee-I-O, for the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
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 ornery villains, Pecos knocked out all their fillings, that's the reason that there's gold in him thar hills.
So Yippee-I-A-I-A, Yippee-I-O, for the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
For the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
Pecos lost his way while traveling across the desert.
It was ninety miles across the burning sand.
He knew he'd never reach the border if he didn't get some water, so he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande.
So Yippee-I-A-I-A, Yippee-I-O.
For the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
For the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
One day Pecos found his favorite doggie missing.
A doggie that was nearest to his heart.
So then he lassoed all the cattle clear from Texas to Seattle.
That's the way the Texas Roundup got its start.
So Yippee-I-A-I-A, Yippee-I-O, for the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
While a tribe of painted Indians did a war dance,
Pecos started shooting up their little game.
He gave them Redskins such a shake-up that they jumped out of their makeup.
That's the way the painted desert got its name.
So Yippee-I-A-I-A, Yippee-I-O.
For the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
Yippee-I-A-I-A, Yippee-I-O.
While reclining on a cloudyestiote.
