I ride an old paint, I lead an old Dan And 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 a-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 Still he sings from mornin' till night Ride around them dogies, ride around them slow They're fiery and snuffy and a-rarin' to go (Play that harp now) ♪ When I die, take my saddle from the wall Place it on my old pony, lead him out of the 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
