Hi All. Another Oldie I did a couple of weeks ago.
Classic old cowboy song. Artist not known. All comments welcome. Rob

Goodbye Old paint


Goodbye old paint 1870

My foot s in the stirup my pony wont stand.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.

Im leave'n Cheyenne, Im off for Montan.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.

Bridge

Im ride'n old paint, Im a living old man.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.

My feets in the stirups, my bridal in my hand.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.

Old paint s a good pony.
He paces when he can.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.

O' hitchup your horses and feed 'em some hay.
And seat yourself by me as long as you stay.
And seat yourself by me as long as you stay.

My horse s ain't hungary.
They won't eat your hay.
My wagon is loaded and roll'n away.
My wagon is loaded and roll'n away.

My foot s in the stirup my pony wont stand.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.
Goodbye old paint lma leave'n Cheyenne.

A Cowboy's life is a Happy Life, eh? +++

Well done. Vocally you are quite the chameleon! We are always amazed at how convincingly you can jump from genre to genre.

We both grew up with the old B&W cowboy movies and this song brings back wonderful memories of the silver screen.

The write, the vocal, your arrangement and the mix are all right in the pocket.

Well done and most enjoyed by us!!

Thanks for listening Fiddler.

Hi Rob4580, I found the arrangement a pleasure to listen to and the instruments are layered nicely. The fiddle really helps piece it all together. The reverb on the vocal sounds epic! Nicely done.

Thank you Joe. Rob

Nice one Rob!

Everything sits really, really comfortably here in my headphones.

All the best,
Noel

Thank you Janice and Bud. I'll just be hiding here in the corner. Rob

Thank you Joe.

Another very cool vocal. Loved these lyrics. Hard to believe the lyrics are that old. Loved this song. Fiddle was excellent..

You're welcome! What was the theory behind the chord progression?

Hi Rob.

Very nice rendition of this great old classic. I always love your smooth vocals. Excellent in all regards.

For your info: The song was written by a black cowboy named Charley Willis, which I had heard somewhere along the line. What I didn't know (but do now - thanks Google) is that it was first made public in 1921 by Jack Thorp in a book he called "Songs Of The Cowboys". Just thought you might want to know.

Best to you.

Alan

Very nice!

I love when people breathe life into older tunes. You have done great job!

Thank you for sharing.

Good ol' country done right!

You did a fantastic job on this song.

Hi Joe. Thanks for your interest. As this is not one of my songs I cant really say much about the chord progression.
Being only two chords in the whole song doesn't leave much room for a progression. Thank again for listening

Nice job Rob!! I don't know the song but you've created a really, really nice authentic sounding track here. Fiddle and pedal steel work REALLY well. Nice vocals as usual!! Take care. Greg

Hi Rob,

This is a real country song, very good mix and vocals!
Well done.

Rob and Anne-Marie
