Does anyone know the rest of the words to the rhyme that starts "Bronco Lane had a pain, so he went to Wagon Train, Wagon Train was no good, so he went to Robin Hood"? I think there are quite a few more verses, but can't remember them.

I can't seem to find the rhyme but I did find that Bronco Laine was a character from the TV show Cheyenne (1955-1962) staring Clint Walker as Cheyenne Bodie & Ty Hardin as Bronco Laine

This says the series was called Bronco, and spelled Layne. That may help more discoveries. (satguru)

Children's rhyme used in skipping and ball games:

There were several variations, one of which was:

Bronco Layne had a pain so they sent for Wagon Train, Wagon Train was no good so they sent for Robin Hood , Robin Hood lost his bow so they sent for Ivanhoe, Ivanhoe killed a man so they sent for Big Cheyenne, Big Cheyenne was having his tea so they sent for Laramie, Laramie lost its cargo so they sent for Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo lost its hunter so they sent for Billy Bunter, Billy Bunter was too large so they sent for - I'm in charge.

Thank you. Seem to think there was one version with Yogi Bear in as well. Very helpful.
