goodbye old paint
goodbye old paint:
traditional song
cowboy waltz is a good song to have tucked away in any songbag! in the early 1900s, this song replaced “home sweet home” as the last tune of the evening at many of the cowboy dances. people would sing the eight or ten well known verses and then start making up new ones to keep things moving!
song sample:
lyrics:
good bye old paint i'm leaving cheyenne
good bye old paint i'm leaving cheyenne
old paint's a good pony he runs when he can
good morning young lady my pony won't stand
good bye....
i'm riding old paint and i'm leading old tan
good morning little annie i'm off for montan'
good bye...
oh hitch up your horses and feed them some hay
seat yourself bye me as long as you stay
good bye...
my wagon is loaded and rolling away
my horses ain't hungry they'll not eat your hay
good bye...
musicians:
simon kirke plays conga and sings harmonies... malcolm gold on bass... bob fitzsimons plays lonesome electric piano... dz plays guitar, lap steel and "sings"...
