ABC TV hosted this popular western series. Cheyenne has the distinction of being the first hour-long television western.
Cheyenne consisted of 108 black and white episodes which ran from 1955 to 1963. It starred Clint Walker (b. 1927) who played the title character named Cheyenne Bodie who roamed the west at the end of the Civil War.
Cheyenne has a distinctive theme song which has seared itself into my memory.
Cheyenne, Cheyenne where will you be camping tonight?
Loney man, Cheyenne, will your heart stay free and light?
Dream Cheyenne of a girl you may never love
Move along, Cheyenne like the restless cloud up above.
The wind that blows, that comes and goes, has been your only home.
But will the while will one day see and you'll no longer roam.
Move along, Cheyenne the next pasture's always so green.
Driftin' on, Cheyenne don't forget the things you have seen,
And when you settle down where will it be Cheyenne.
Cheyenne!
