Roy Rogers - Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming lyrics

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?

Why, oh why, did I ever have to go?

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?

Cause there's a sherriff back there,

Lookin' for me high and low,

And high and low

My uncle max in Cheyenne swears he's honest as the sun;

He worked six years in a bathhouse, and he never took a one.

The sherrif finally caught him and no more will uncle roam;

They caught him working in a bank and taking samples home. Oh,

(chorus)

Why oh why did I ever leave Wyoming...

Back in old Wyoming folks are acting mighty strange;

Since I left my homestead, how they've changed the good old range;

Our farm is now a dude ranch and there's carpet on the trails;

The cowboys wear tuxedos, and the horses all wear tails. Oh,

(chorus)

Why oh why did I ever leave Wyoming...
