Cheyenne 
Cheyenne 
I'm a-tellin' you the truth and not lyin' nor jokin', I'd rather be in jail than to be heart-hroken. 
cho: Cheyenne-a, Cheyenne, I'm a-leaving Cheyenne; Cheyenne-a, Cheyenne, I'm a-leaving Cheyenne; 
My foot's in the stirrup, my rein's in my hand, I'm a-riding old Paint and a-leaving Cheyenne. 
My foot's in the stirrup, my rein's in my hand, Good-by, old Paint, you're a-leaving Cheyenne. 
My pony is tired, my pinto can't stand Good-by, old Paint, I'm a-leaving Cheyenne. 
I'm a-leavin' Cheyenne, I'm off to Montan' Good-by, old Paint, I'm a-leaving Cheyenne. From Lomax, Cowboy Songs. Last 2 verses from somewhere in Colorado,
 ca 1947
