I Ride An Old Paint: Leavin’ Cheyenne – Colter Wall
By
I ride an old paint, I lead an old Dan I’m goin’ to Montana, for to throw the Houlihan Where they feed in the coulees and they water in the draw And their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw
Ride around them dogies, ride around them slow They’re fiery and snuffy and rarin’ to go
Now old Bill Jones had two daughters and a song One went to college and the other went wrong
And his wife, she got killed in a poolroom fight But still he sings from mornin’ till night
Ride around them dogies, ride around them slow They’re fiery and snuffy and rarin’ to go
When I die, take my saddle from the wall Place it on my old pony, lead him out of his stall Tie my bones to the saddle, turn our faces toward the West We’ll both ride the prairie that we love the best
Ride around them dogies, ride around them slow They’re fiery and snuffy and rarin’ to go
Goodbye old paint, I’m leavin’ Cheyenne Goodbye old paint, I’m leavin’ Cheyenne Leavin’ Cheyenne, going to Montana Goodbye old paint, I’m leaving Cheyenne Ride around old paint, I’m leavin’ Cheyenne
