Hi.  In the last 70s David Allen Coe recorded a song that the only
lyrics I recall are "It's so cold on the desert, I'm chilled to the
bone, yippi yi little doggies yippi yi."  Anybody there know what song
and album that was on.  I have checked all the songs on all the albums
he has available on Barnes & Noble site - no luck.

Thanks,
Denece

Hi Denece!

The song you have in mind is Texas Lullaby by David Allan Coe.

DAVID ALLAN COE
LONG HAIRED REDNECK
(Columbia KC 33916) '76

Track 4.
TEXAS LULLABY
(David A. Coe - A. McGowan)

Lyrics

?See those tumbleweeds a blowin' Lord it makes me wanna cry
It reminds me of my daddy and that Texas Lullaby
See those cactus flowers bloomin' like the twinkle in his eye
Every time he started singin' the old Texas Lullaby
Yipee yi little doggie roll along roll along
Yipee yi little doggie take me home take me home
It's so cold on the desert I'm chilled to the bone
Yipee yi little doggie yipee yi?

Hi Bobbie - Kind of a late rating, sorry.  Very helpful answer.  I
will take this as an omen that my screenplay will succeed because the
heroine of the script is Bobbi!  I want to send a tip, but have to put
it on another account than the one used for the question and don't see
how to do that.  Anyway, thanks so much for your help.  You can write
me back and let me know how to get a tip to you on a different credit
card?  Thanks.

Denece

Hi Denece! 

Thank you for the five stars. I'm delighted that you are pleased with my answer.

The only way you can get a tip to me is by posting a new question with
my name in the subject for the amount of the tip.

Here is an example.
