Old Cheyenne

(Words & Music by Ian Tyson)

The band would play the anthem and,

Clowns fell down in jest

All the people saw again

The winning of the west

Our stomachs full of nothing

And our hearts were full of hopes

Buckled on our leggings

And we rosined up our ropes

We started going down the road

Spring of '74

If I had me another trade

I wouldn't ride them bulls no more

Since Charlie died I've tried to forget

That day at Old Cheyenne

Betty, leave your lights on darlin'

I'm gonna make it if I can

Old Cheyenne

(Words & Music by Ian Tyson)

Cause it gets inside your blood,

Gets inside your mind

The only way of life

there ain't no other kind

All my thoughts roam back to you

I hope you'll understand

Betty, leave your lights on darlin'

I'm gonna make it if I can

The place that's known as Cheyenne's called

the Daddy of them all

The one our fathers sang about

At the roundups in the fall

Charlie drew that spinnin' bull

Lord, everything went wrong

Took him in an ambulance

Left me here to sing this song

I kept right on goin' but,

I drink before I ride

That bottle brings me courage

I believe I'm damn near out of pride

I think I'd get me a factory job

If you'd help me make my stand

Ah Betty, leave your lights on darlin'

Gonna make it if I can

Cause it gets inside your blood,

Gets inside your mind

The only way of life

There ain't no other kind

All my thoughts roam back to you

I hope you'll understand

Betty, leave your lights on darlin'

I'm gonna make it if I can
