Cowboys All Dressed Five little cowboys get up to dress. The first one buttons up his vest. The second one wears tall boots with taps. The third one laces up his chaps. The fourth one ties a big bow tie. The fifth one tips his hat. Good-bye!
Five Little Cowboys Five little cowboys sitting on a gate. The first one said, "Gee rodeos are great!" The second one said, "There are buzzards in the air." The third one said, "But we don't care." The fourth one said, "Let's watch the horses run." The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun." Oooooo went the wind and off went their hats, And the five little cowboys fell from where they sat!
Ten Little Cowboys Ten little cowboys standing in a row - When they see the foreman They bow just so - They ride to the left, and They ride to the right. And then they shut their eyes And sleep all night.
Cowpoke Charade I'm a little cowpoke dressed in blue. These are the things I like to do: Put on my hat. Pretend to put on a hat. And put on my vest. Pretend to put on a vest.
Buckle my belt. So I look my best. Pretend to buckle a belt. Ride my pony. Pretend to hold reins and ride a pony. Rope my steer. Pretend to twirl a rope overhead. When night is near. Pretend to sleep.

I’m a Little Cowboy (Sung to I’m a Little Teapot) I’m a little cowboy. Here is my hat. Here are my spurs And here are my chaps. As soon as I get up, I work all day. I get on my horse And ride away.
Here We Go! [tune: "Go In And Out The Window"] We're in a covered wagon. We're in a covered wagon. We're in a covered wagon, A-rollin' down the trail! We're in a covered wagon. We're in a covered wagon. We're in a covered wagon, A-bumpin' down the trail! We're in a covered wagon. We're in a covered wagon. We're in a covered wagon, A-rockin' down the trail!
