Ian Tyson - Old Corrals and Sagebrush & Other Cowboy Culture Classics

Leavin' Cheyenne

I ride an old paint
A leadin' old Dan
I'm going to Montana
For to throw the Hoolahan

They feed in the coulee
And they water in the draws
Their tails are all matted
And their backs are all raw

Goodbye old paint
I'm leavin' Cheyenne
Goodbye old paint
I'm a leavin' Cheyenne

I'm leavin' Cheyenne
I'm going to Montana
Goodbye old paint
I'm a leavin' Cheyenne

Now old Bill Jones
Had two daughters and a son
The son went to Denver
And the daughter went wrong

His wife, she got killed
In a bar room fight
But, still he keeps a singing
From mornin' 'til night

Goodbye old paint
I'm leavin' Cheyenne
Goodbye old paint
I'm a leavin' Cheyenne

I'm leavin' Cheyenne
I'm going to Montana
Goodbye old paint
I'm a leavin' Cheyenne

Now, when I die
Take my saddle from the wall
Put it on the pony
Lead him out of his stall

Tie my bones to his back
Head our faces toward the west
We'll ride the prairie
That we love the best

Ride her out old paint
I'm a leavin' Cheyenne
And goodbye old paint
I'm leavin' Cheyenne

I'm a leavin' Cheyenne
I'm going to Montana
Goodbye old paint
I'm leavin' Cheyenne

Goodbye old paint
I'm a leavin' Cheyenne
Goodbye old paint
I'm a leavin' Cheyenne
