Ridecamp: Re: [RC] junior riders / camp & trail songs

or the cowboy version:!

come a tie yie yippie yippie yie yippie yo, come a tie yie yippie yippie yo

come along boys and listen to my tale
I'll tell you all my troubles on the old chisom trail

come a tie yie yippie yippie yie yippie yo, come a tie yie yippie yippie yo

on a ten dollar horse and a forty dollar saddle
I spend my life punch'n longhorn cattle

come a tie yie yippie yippie yie yippie yo, come a tie yie yippie yippie yo

From: Joe Long <jlong@xxxxxxxx>> >I NEED some Camp songs!, Rascal is sick of
hearing "Old Macdonald had a Farm' and "Amazing grace" 's pitch goes too
high and makes him nervous. I have invented ridiculous verses for Ol
Macdonald, usually referring to couches and refrigerators as we pass them..
. . singing in a monotone helps him go right past bashed tvs, and almost!!!
the deer carcuss and 3 vultures snacking on it when we went round the corner
.  Friday. I figured it was a poacher dump, cause the 2 fish that were
dumped  with it were still fresh.  ... YYuuuccch  send me camp songs, I
never got to go to camp.Sometine with more verses than "99 bottles of beer
on the wall. .   Laurie and Rascal
