Subject: Requesting help finding song lyrics From: ian_maxwell@ultranet.ca Date: 26 Oct 98 - 05:39 PM In the classic western movie, "Shane", the central characters all head into town for a 4th of July celebration. While there, they sing and dance to a song that goes something like: "Goodbye, Old Paint, I'm a leaving Cheyenne..." Does anyone know the actual name of the song, and where I might locate the lyrics? My ten year old son is enamored with it (probably identifies with the young boy Joey in the movie!)I couldn't seem to get a hit with my keyword searches. Thanks greatly for any assistance! Ian |

Subject: RE: Requesting help finding song lyrics From: bfe3476518 @aol.com Date: 26 Oct 98 - 06:39 PM I was at a bluegrass festival up north in PA, a group played annd sang a balad about a guy who thought he got caught stealin Homer Lawson's corn, but the person that came lookin in the field for him was Homer Lawson's daughter, I guess you can imajine what he reaally stole. I don't know the song writer, or the melody, but I'd sure like to know if anyone out there knows it or where I can find the lyrics, the group that done it was really good, and they may have wrote it themselves. I don't know any more of the lyrics just the parts about the corn field and daughter. |

Subject: ADD Versions: GOODBYE OLD PAINT From: Barry Finn Date: 26 Oct 98 - 09:07 PM Different from the versions in the DT. GOODBYE OLD PAINT Fairwell, fair ladies, I'm a leaving Cheyenne (2x) Goodbye my little Doney, my pony won't stand CH: Ol Paint, Ol Paint, I'm a leaving Cheyenne Goodbye Ol Paint, I'm a leaving Cheyenne Ol Paint's a good pony & she paces when she can In the middle of the ocean there grows a tall tree I'll never prove false to the girl that loves me Oh we spread down the blanket on the green grassy ground And the horses & cattle were a-grazing all round Oh the last time I saw her, it was late in the fall She was riding Ol Paint & a leading Ol Ball Ol Paint had a colt down on the Rio Grande And the colt couldn't pace & they named it Cheyenne For my feet's in the stirrups & my briddle's in my hand Goodbye my little Doney my pony won't stand Repeat first Collected from Jesse Morris 1942, Dalhart, Texas. Lomax thinks this may be the oldest version. GOODBYE OLD PAINT My foot's in the stirrup, my pony won't stand Goodbye Ol Paint I'm off to Montan I'm a-leaving Cheyenne, I'm off to Montan Goodbye Ol Paint I'm a-leaving Cheyenne I'm a-riding Ol Paint, I'm a-leading Ol Fan Goodbye Ol Paint I'm a-leaving Cheyenne With my feet in the stirrups, my bridle in my hand Goodbye Ol Paint, I'm a-leaving Cheyenne Ol Paint's a good pony, he paces when he can Goodbye my little Angie I'm off for Cheyenne Oh hitch up your horses & feed them some hay And set yourself by me as long as you'll stay My horses ain't hungry they can't eat your hay My wagon is loaded & rolling away I'm a-riding Ol Paint, I'm a-laeding Ol Dan I'm a-going to Montan to throw the hoolihan Collected from Sloan Matthews, 1942 in Pecos, Texas In the first version Jesse backs himself up with lone fiddle, never heard anything like it, I've heard high lonesome but this was wailing, & dry & dusty, scratching the life out of a lizard & the dying lizard knows it just heard the sound of the desert angel & it's going to some big waterhole in the sky where someone is playing an awful nice fiddle.

Subject: LYR ADD: Harvest Time From: cnd Date: 24 Jun 16 - 05:48 PM Regarding the second requested song: Harvest Time (Bill Emerson - Lewis Moore - Carrol Dunham) Cool and cloudy night upon Boll Mountain Alabama I was stealing corn from Homer Lawson's Field The rattle of the cornstalks and the bark of Homer's hound dog Made me hug the ground and lie dead still. Flashing through my mind was Big Homer's reputation A man who really didn't give a damn They say he shot ol' Mountain Joe for just one ear of corn And laughed the day they laid him in the ground. Well, I can hear the breaking of the sticks from someone's footsteps But shaky legs just can't get up and run And as I lay there breathless the next thing I expected Was a blast of hell from Homer Lawson's gun. The clouds rolled by and then I saw the shadow of a lady It was Homer's lovely daughter Julie Ann I smelled the perfume in her hair as she sat down beside me Whispered papa's running moonshine again. I thank God for cloudy nights and Alabama's whiskey stills And harvest times in Homer Lawson's field I thank God for cloudy nights and Alabama's whiskey stills And harvest times in Homer Lawson's field...
