[Lyric] Cheyenne (Aileen Stanley)

[Intro]
Way out in old Wyoming, long ago
Where coyotes lurk and night winds howl and blow
A cowboy's husky voice rang out: "Hello"
And echoed in the valley down below
Then came back a maiden's answer, sweet and clear
Our boy tossed his hat up in the air
Said he had come to take you right away from here
Cheyenne, they say is miles away
But there's a preacher there
Then she just drooped her eye
She was so very shy
So shy, oh my, and then he made reply

[Chorus]
"Cheyenne, Cheyenne
Hop on my pony
There's room here for two, dear
And after the ceremony
We'll both ride back home here as one
On my pony from old Cheyenne"
[Verse 1]
They rode that night and nearly half a day
Cheyenne was sixty-seven miles away
But when at last they galloped up the street
The cowboy's pride was really hard to beat
On his arm, his future bride a-carrying
But beneath the little church's dome
Said "Gee, I feel like turning back, not marrying"
His face got red, and then he said
"You will, or you'll walk home"

[Verse 2]
If you ride back today
You'll honour and obey
I do, I do
Then he was hurt to say:

[Chorus]
"Cheyenne, Cheyenne
Hop on my pony
There's room here for two, dear
And after the ceremony
We'll both ride back home here as one
On my pony from old Cheyenne"
