This is another pretty "Sons of Pioneers" tune about hills (My last
submission was the  "Everlasting Hills of Oklahoma"). This time the state is
Wyoming. This song was written by two songwriters who had never been to
Wyoming, written at Palm Springs for the motion picture "Palm Springs"
starring Bing Crosby.
Leo Robin & Ralph Rainger wrote this song in 1936.

Hills of Old Wyomin'

............G....D7...G............Em.....A7............D7
Let me ride on a trail in the hills of Old Wyomin'
 .................G .........................C.....Cm
Where the Coyotes wail in the gloamin'
...........G........................C...........G
For it's there where my hearts at home

 Em   C    G
(Hum or whistle)

 .........G....D7......G....
In the night let me rest,
..............Em... A7...........D7
 with the blue sky for my ceilin'
....D7....G.... .........C............Cm
'Till the winds lullaby comes stealin'
 G .................................C..........G
From the hills where my hearts at home

Em  C  G
(hum or whistle)

...G .................................................
Wake with a song, Wake with the sun.
.............................................
Saddle to mend. Cattle to tend.
.................... A7
Plenty to be done.


............G....D7.....G...................Em........A7........ D7
Let me live on the range where a man has room to roam in
 G........................................C.....Cm
And dream of his love in the gloamin'
G..................C....... G..........................C..........G
In the hills of old Wyomin', In the hills of old Wyomin'
