Old American song.
"Cheyenne" is a popular and sentimental American song written in 1906, with words by Harry Williams and music by Egbert Van Alstyne. It became a hit for a number of artists. The first artist to perform the song Billy Murray.
The chorus is:
Shy Ann, Shy Ann, hop on my pony,
There's room here
For two dear,
But after the ceremony,
We'll both ride back home dear, as one,
On my pony, from old Cheyenne.
The song became a staple of the underscore of western films, to the point of being stereotyped.
This song also lent itself well to parody.
