LYRICS:
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

Now that's a good pony, he paces when he can
Goodbye little dogies, I'm off to Montan'

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

My foot's in the stirrup, got the bridle in my hand
Goodbye sweet Annie, my horses won't stand

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
