I am hoping someone can help me with this one: Cheyenne Pony Way out in Wyoming long ago A cowboy's husky voice rang out Hello! And it echoed in the valley far below it echoed in the valley far below Then came back a maidens answer sweet and clear Cowboy tossed his hat into the air Said here I come to take you right away from here cheyenne they say is far away But there's a preacher there She just blinked her eyeys cause she was so very shy, so shy, Oh my! and then he winked his eye Cheyenne my Ann hop on my pony there's room here for two dear and after the ceremony we'll both ride back home dear as one on a pony from old Cheyenne |

CHEYENNE (SHY ANN) Recorded by: Billy Murray - 1906 (Harry H. Williams / Egbert Van Alstyne) (Indian War Whoops) Way out in old Wyoming long ago Where coyotes lurk while night winds howl and blow A cowboy's lusty voice rang out "Hello" And echoed through the valley down below Then came back a maiden's answer sweet and clear Cowboy tossed his hat up in the air Said he, "I've come to take you right away from here Cheyenne they say is miles away But they've a preacher there" Then she just drooped her eye, She was so very shy So shy, oh my!, and then he made reply Oooh-oooh-oooh Shy Ann, shy Ann, hop on my pony There's room here for two, Dear But after the ceremony We'll both ride back home, Dear, as one On my pony from old Cheyenne (Indian War Whoops) They rode that night and nearly half the 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 she, "I feel like turning back, not marrying" His face got red and then he said, "You will or you'll walk home If you ride back today, you honor and obey" "I will" she cried, then he was heard to say Oooh-oooh-oooh Shy Ann, shy Ann, hop on my pony There's room here for two, Dear But after the ceremony We'll both ride back home, Dear, as one On my pony from old Cheyenne (Indian War Whoops) Email: cn8gv9@aim.com for mp3 |
