  Hanohano wale nō nā cowboy lā
  I ka lawe ha‘aheo i ke kaula ‘ili

  Ua like ā like me ka mahimahi lā
  I ka nihi hele i ka lae lā‘au

  Huli aku nānā iā Maunakea
  Pipi ‘āhiu hao winiwini

  I uka mākou o ke kuahiwi lā
  Ho‘ohei i ka pipi ‘āhiuhiu

  Ho‘olei pono iho i ke kaula ‘ili lā
  I ka lae o ka pipi ‘āhiuhiu

  Ho‘olei pono iho i ke kaula ‘ili lā
  I ka lae o ka pipi hao winiwini

  Hāwele pono iho ke kaula ‘ili lā
  Ka maku‘u o ka noho ‘Ītālia

  Mai uka a ke kai hāwanawana
  ‘O Keoni li‘ili‘i ē ka luna nui

  Hea aku mākou e ō mai ‘oe lā
  ‘O Keoni li‘ili‘i ke po‘o cowboy

  Ha‘ina ‘ia mai ana ka puana lā
  Hanohano wale nō nā cowboy
