Cheyenne Songtext
von Bo Diddley

Cheyenne rode all day and all through the night
Getting into trouble and then into a fight
Cheyenne got thrown in a little jail
But old Cheyenne was just as tough as a tenpenny nail


Cheyenne played poker late one night
Some tinhorn come in the joint and Cheyenne start a fight
Cheyenne was so sleepy that he could not see
He said, "Why don′t somebody tell this
Tinhorn to quit messin' around with me?"

Cheyenne stopped to get, to get himself a drink
He stood by a bar and began to think
How he was going to ride out of town
He′d ride out across the prairies and put the tinhorn in the ground

Cheyenne had a girlfriend that lived at the edge of town
She got shook up inside when she heard Cheyenne was in town
Cheyenne was going out and messed with the tinhorn
He said, "Look out there, baby, don't do me
'Cause I ain′t gonna do you no wrong"
