There'll Never Be Another (Pecos Bill) - Sons Of The Pioneers

Now Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas

Why, he’s the Western Superman to say the least

He was the roughest, toughest critter, never known to be a quitter

'Cause he never had no fear of man nor beast

So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He’s the toughest critter west of the Alamo

Now 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 crooked villains

Pecos knocked out all their fillings

That’s the reason why there’s gold them thar hills

So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He’s the toughest critter west of the Alamo

Pecos lost his way while traveling on the desert (Water, water, water…)

It was ninety miles across the burning sand (Water, water, water…)

He knew he’d never reach the border (Water…)

If he didn’t get some water (Water…)

So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande

(Yodeling)

While a tribe of painted Indians did a wardance

Pecos started shooting up their little game

He gave those redskins such a shakeup

That they jumped out of their makeup

That’s how the Painted Desert got it’s name

So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He’s the toughest critter west of the Alamo

While reclining on a cloud high over Texas

With his guns he made the stars evaporate

Then Pecos saw them stars declining

So he left one brightly shining

As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State

So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He’s the toughest critter west of the Alamo

So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o

He’s the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
