NORTH OF CHEYENNE
Lyrics by Marion Doerflinger and Bill Beach, Music by Bill Beach © 2011
Dear Son, I'm busted bad, laid up to mend,
On the old ranch,
up north of Cheyenne.
I got throwed off
that wiley buckskin.
I guess old men shouldn't ride horses like him.
But the west wasn't settled by the coward or the weak,
And when it comes to horses you don't turn the other cheek.
I'm gittin outa bed
as soon as I can,
out to the corral and
back in the saddle again.
Sing too roolie too rollie A.
Sing too roolie too rollie A.
My boy, I know you ain't happy where you roam
New York can't take the place of Wyoming
Riding a horse in the wind and the rain
where the winds of Cheyenne are callin your name
You want to be a writer, you thought you had to go
where the men are all crazy, and the women for show
If your restless and you need to make your on own stand
We they write good books right here, in Cheyenne
Sing too roolie too roolie A.
Sing too roolie too roolie A.
Well, Son, I been thinkin' about me, about you,
And the dang fool things that we do.
Ridin' too hard and fightin' too much,
And like two old pards we fell outa touch.
Soon as I settle with old buckskin,
I'm gunna git in the pickup and ride to Cheyenne.
I'm gunna lay down my money and board me a plane,
And come see my wild boy once again.
Sing too roolie too roolie A.
Sing too roolie too roolie A.
Sing too roolie too roolie A.
Sing too roolie too roolie A.
