^CYippee-^Fi yippee-^Coh Yippee-^Gi yippee-oh yippee-^Cay Which ^Fsounds rather silly but ^Cev'ry hillbilly Spends ^Dmhalf his life ^Gsinging that ^Cway ^{Dm G C}

^CHe was just a lavender ^Dmcowboy With ^Gonly three hairs on his ^Cchest And he rode on a filly called ^DmDaffydowndilly The ^Gprettiest horse in the ^CWest

Ev'ry morning they went out to^Dmgether While the ^Gothers looked on in di^Csmay 'Cause he'd round up the cattle a-^Dmridin' side-saddle Be^Gcause he preferred it that ^Cway^{Dm G C}

^CHe was just a lavender ^Dmcowboy Who ^Gcommitted a terrible ^Csin He went out on a bender and ^Dmslugged a bartender And ^Gstole all the strawberry ^Cgin

So the posse was sent out to ^Dmfind him And ^Gbring him back dead or a^Clive And they knew as they went they were ^Dmhot on the scent By the ^Gsmell of Chanel No.^C5 ^{Dm G C}

And they found him a-lyin' un^Dmconcious With ^Gblood running all down his ^Cchin Till they looked a bit closer and ^Dmwhat do you know sir They ^Gfound it was strawberry ^Cgin

So they shot the lavender ^Dmcowboy And ^Gsaid as they laid him to ^Crest You'll be happier now boy you ^Dmcan't be a cowboy With ^Gonly three hairs on your ^Cchest
