Classic Poem

REFRAIN :
Good-bye, Old Paint, I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne.
Good-bye, Old Paint, I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne.

My foot in the stirrup, my pony won't stand;
Good-bye, Old Paint, I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne.
REFRAIN

I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne, I'm off for Montan';
Good-bye, Old Paint, I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne.
REFRAIN

I'm a-ridin' Old Paint, I'm a-leadin' Old Fan;
Good-bye, Old Paint, I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne.
REFRAIN

With my feet in the stirrups, my bridle in my hand;
Good-bye, little Annie, I'm off for Cheyenne.
REFRAIN

Old Paint's a good pony, he paces when he can;
Good-bye, little Annie, I'm off for Cheyenne.
REFRAIN

Oh hitch up your horses and feed 'em some hay,
And seat yourself by me so long as you stay.
REFRAIN

My horses ain't hungry, they'll not eat your hay
My wagon is loaded and rolling away.
REFRAIN

My foot in my stirrup, my reins in my hand;
Good-morning, young lady, my horses won't stand.

Good-bye, Old Paint, I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne,
Good-bye, Old Paint, I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne.
