Thread Name: Origins: Cheyenne Pony
Subject: Origins: Cheyenne Pony
There are many songs that my mother sang to her 5 children and I have been trying to find origin of these songs with some success on this site. 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
