I'm an old cowhand with the Johnson brand,
And I take my stand in the promised land. Never rode a hoss, 'cause I don't know how, But you know darn well I'm gonna learn to now,
'Cause it sure beats walkin' behind a plow, Yippee-yi, LBJ.
I'm a maverick stray from the A.D.A.,

And I used to play Walter Reuther's way,
But I'm steppin' out in diff-rent comp'ny now, Henry Ford, Fred Kappel and Roger Blough, We're saddled up with businessmen somehow, Yippee-yi, LBJ.
I'm the quietest man in all the land
Since I got the word to be seen -- not heard. I could

talk all day if I had my way,
But I'd better not, there'd be hell to pay,
I may do tomorrow what I can't today, Yippee-yi, LBJ.
