(tex owens)

Woo – hoo – woo – ooo – ti – de
Woo – hoo – ooo – oop – i – de – de
Woo – hoo – woo – ooo – ti – de
Yod-el – od-el- lo – ti – de.

The cattle are prowlin’ the coyotes are howlin’
Way out where the dogies bawl
Where spurs are a-jinglin’, a cowboy is singin’
This lonesome cattle call.

He rides in the sun ’til his days work is done
And he rounds up the cattle each fall
Woo – hoo – woo – ooo – ti – de
Singin’ his cattle call.

For hours he will ride on the range far and wide
When the night winds blow up a squall
His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather
He sings his cattle call.

He’s brown as a berry from ridin’ the prairie
And he sings with an ol’ western drawl
Woo – hoo – woo – ooo – ti – de
Singin’ his cattle call.
