That's How The Yodel Was Born

I'm a wandering cowboy ridin' down the trail

Hear the night wind sighin' with a mournful wail

I feel so lonesome when I hear their song

So I started hummin', that's how the yodel was born

Then I remember how I said goodbye

To the girl who loved me and the way that she cried

I'll always love her but I couldn't stay

'Cause the lonesome whistle called me away

I was born to wander, that's where I belong

On the open prairie just a-yodellin' a song

That's how the yodel was born
