Way Out West


Original Author Unknown


Sung to: "Old MacDonald"


Way out West are buffaloes. Yippie-yippie-oh!

Way out West are buffaloes. Yippie-yippie-oh!

with a stomp, stomp here and a stomp, stomp there.

Here a stomp, there a stomp, everywhere a stomp, stomp.

Way out West are buffaloes. Yippie-yippie-oh!

Way out West are prairie dogs. Yippie-yippie-oh!

Way out West are prairie dogs. Yippie-yippie-oh!

with a bark, bark here and a bark, bark there.

Here a bark, there a bark, everywhere a bark, bark.

Way out West are prairie dogs. Yippie-yippie-oh!
