Snake River silliness
I'm Just An Old Cowboy by jim vecchio
New Lyrics writing prompt entry

I’m an old cowboy from the Snake River
But I’m a vegan and don’t eat calf liver
I’m a cowboy that can’t rope a steer
Can’t drink red eye, just plain root beer
I aint’a fixin to taste it here
Whoop Whoop Whoop Woo-Hoo
Whoop Whoop Whoop Woo-Hoo

 

I’m an old cowboy from the Snake River
I fell in once and began to shiver
When it comes to ridin’ I’m a fool
Can’t tell a cayuse from a mule
And my only way on is with a stool
Whoop Whoop Whoop Woo-Hoo
Whoop Whoop Whoop Woo-Hoo

 

I’m an old cowboy from the Snake River
I came to town, flowers to deliver
I know all the songs the cowboys know
I heard them in a burlesque show
I’m just a no good so and so
Whoop Whoop Whoop Woo-Hoo
Whoop Whoop Whoop Woo-Hoo

 

I’m an old cowboy from the Snake River

Sooner or later I’ll need a caregiver

My pants have pleats, my tie is bowed

Oh, how timid I have growed

Gals all shun me like a horn toad

Whoop Whoop Whoop Woo-Hoo

Whoop Whoop Whoop Woo-Hoo


Writing Prompt
Take a well-known song and replace the original rhyming lyrics with your own. Rhyming is required, the original meter should be preserved, but no other restrictions apply.
However, to avoid copyright infringement, create a new, similar, title which unmistakably references the original.
For example: On The Street Where You Live might become On The Road Where You Dwell or Jailhouse Rock might become Prison Jive.
