Lyrics
Way out west where men are men and women are very sweet
That’s where I wanna be, that’s where I’m gonna be
Way out west just once again where happiness is complete
There’s just one thing I miss and it is this
Chorus
Oh! gimme a horse a great big horse
And gimme a buckaroo and let me
Wah-hoo! wah-hoo! wah-hoo!
Oh! gimme a ranch, a big pair pants
And gimme a stetson, too and let me
Wah-hoo! wah-hoo! wah-hoo!
Give me the wide open spaces
For I’m just a prairie flow’r
Growing wilder ev’ry hour
Oh! gimme a moon, a prairie moon
And gimme a gal what’s true, and let me
Wah-hoo! wah-hoo! wah-hoo!
Chorus
Oh! I never could sing a high class thing
Good music I never knew, but I can
Wah-hoo! wah-hoo! wah-hoo!
Oh! I never could dance ’cause when I dance
I ruin the lady’s shoe, but I can
Wah-hoo! wah-hoo! wah-hoo!
It’s just a gift from the prairie
You shout it when a bad man jigs
And it’s very good for calling pigs
I never could speak a word of greek
Never a poop-poop-a-do, but I can
Wah-hoo! wah-hoo! wah-hoo!
