00:02:05Hey, Crystal, what are you doing?

00:02:11When it comes to getting started in the morning,

00:02:13he has got to be the slowest man in the world.

00:02:23Jubal, I'm not talking to myself.

00:02:25I asked you a question.

00:02:29Just reading, dear.

00:02:33Aren't you ready yet?

00:02:35We've got to be at committee headquarters in 20 minutes.

00:02:38Oh, my big night.

00:02:40I'm so thrilled.

00:02:42Just imagine.

00:02:44La Pasquale Opera.

00:02:46Cochere to Italy, coming all the way to Nashville

00:02:49to play for my favorite charity.

00:02:52I'm all over the society, can't you see?

00:02:55Petiti Gold Standard's going to be green with envy.

00:02:59Oh, that's a pity.

00:03:00Green's one of her better colors.

00:03:04Come along, Jubal.

00:03:09Opera, yuck.

00:03:11Opera, yuck.

00:03:35What are you doing in there?

00:03:37What are you doing in there?

00:03:39I was fixing the...

00:03:40You fucker brain baboon!

00:03:42Chief...

00:03:43What do you think you're doing?

00:03:44You told me to fix the sign, didn't you?

00:03:46Yeah, I told you to fix the sign.

00:03:47Don't give me an argument.

00:03:49What's the matter? You're flipping your leg?

00:03:50I told you to put the sign up.

00:03:52You, you pig!

00:03:53Now get the sign up!

00:03:55Get out, get out.

00:03:56I gotta fix the sign.

00:03:58Peasant.

00:04:01He's nuts also.

00:04:03Yeah.

00:04:07I gotta get a little more brush.

00:04:18I said put the sign up, don't you see?

00:04:22Oh, Chief.

00:04:23Oh, uh, uh, sir.

00:04:24Chief, uh, uh...

00:04:26Look at my artwork.

00:04:27Chief, Chief, Chief.

00:04:28You calling the Santa Fe, Chief?

00:04:30I brought my headlight with me.

00:04:31Let me see what you do here.

00:04:33Ah, that's beautiful.

00:04:35That's beautiful.

00:04:36In fact, I would say that is perfect.

00:04:39You love it.

00:04:40Perfect, uh, perfect.

00:04:41How do you spell perfect?

00:04:42Anybody can spell perfect.

00:04:43P-O-I-F-E-C-T.

00:04:45I majored in spelling in reform school.

00:04:47I can spell any word.

00:04:48That's beautiful.

00:04:49Hey, by the way.

00:04:50Oh, oh, hey, hey.

00:04:51What?

00:04:52Yeah, one more time with the alphabet.

00:04:53Hey, give me an idea.

00:04:54What?

00:04:55The barber, the barber.

00:04:56You're covering the sign.

00:04:57The barber.

00:04:58I'm gonna take you to one.

00:04:59You're gonna where?

00:05:00I'm gonna take you to a barber.

00:05:01To a barber?

00:05:02Yeah.

00:05:03To have my hair cut?

00:05:04Nope.

00:05:05To get your throat cut?

00:05:06Oh, what?

00:05:07Listen.

00:05:08Uh, do you mind if I put this around my ear?

00:05:09Let's we go.

00:05:10Come this way, son.

00:05:11I'd like to talk to you.

00:05:22Ma'am, your sign is now confirmed to the wall.

00:05:25I just nailed it up myself.

00:05:26You nailed it up?

00:05:28Well, I'd like to thank you both very much for all you've done.

00:05:32I don't know what I would have done without you.

00:05:34I don't think you understand, ma'am.

00:05:36We come into theater.

00:05:38Your very order is our command.

00:05:40Any job you gotta do, whether it be big or little,

00:05:43just call me.

00:05:44I'll see to he does it.

00:05:45Well, sir.

00:05:46You've worked so diligently.

00:05:48You must have a cause.

00:05:49I know.

00:05:50You're true lovers of the opera.

00:05:53What do you think?

00:05:54We're peasants?

00:05:56Why, Jubal, you're listening to the opera, too.

00:06:00Now, isn't that better than that silly old country music?

00:06:04As I always say, a little culture never hurt anyone.

00:06:09If you think I'm listening to the opera,

00:06:12you're out of your ever-loving mind.

00:06:15Mr. Leo, I think we ought to get a count on those receipts.

00:06:18Why don't you go down to the box office and bring the money up?

00:06:21Certainly, Miss Priss.

00:06:22I'll have to do that.

00:06:24I hope your boss will do the same.

00:06:26I'll have to do it.

00:06:28I'll have to do it, too.

00:06:30Well, I'll take care of it.

00:06:31I'll take care of it.

00:06:32I'll take care of it.

00:06:34I'll take care of it.

00:06:36I'm not going to take care of it.

00:06:38I'll take care of it, too.

00:06:39I'll take care of it.

00:06:40I'll take care of it.

00:06:41I'll take care of it.

00:06:42Certainly, Miss Bristol. I regurgitate, your very order is our command.

00:06:46We'll go down and get your money, and we'll come back and give you a countdown.

00:06:49Yeah, let's get the money. Money, money. I love money. Let's get the money.

00:06:56Jubal.

00:07:01Jubal, eh, Bristol? What are you listening to in the presence of this...

00:07:06When the air is virtually perfumed with culture,

00:07:09you sit there listening to that ridiculous country music.

00:07:14Took us a little time to find the money. This bum had it hidden under his bed.

00:07:17A few telegrams in your box. Most of them are collect.

00:07:20Oh, thank you. I'll read the telegrams. You count the money.

00:07:24Oh, look at this. The cream of Nashville society.

00:07:29Listen.

00:07:30Mrs. Jubal A. Bristol, chair of National Theater, Nashville, Tennessee.

00:07:33This is a wonderful night for you and for Nashville.

00:07:36You are truly a woman of accomplishment.

00:07:38Signed, Dr. and Mrs. Amos T. Mongoose.

00:07:42That was one of the collect ones.

00:07:44Now, about this monetary remuneration.

00:07:47See, these guys are coming a long way. I think they're coming by sled or something.

00:07:50That's the stack for that. That explains that, see?

00:07:52Now, these guys are a bunch of gluttons. They gotta eat.

00:07:54Lunch, supper, dinner, whatever they call it over there.

00:07:56And I'm sorry, Miss Bristol, about the last part of this.

00:08:00That was all that was left for charity for children.

00:08:02Oh, thank you.

00:08:04All that work and only one dollar?

00:08:07Well, I tell you, they're coming from Italy.

00:08:09I could have imported three opera companies from Kentucky for six barrels of sour mash.

00:08:13Oh, peasant.

00:08:15Well, at least it'll be a great cultural success.

00:08:20Listen to this.

00:08:22The idea of bringing the opera to Nashville was a gem.

00:08:25You are the toast of society.

00:08:27Petty T. Gold Standard.

00:08:29Here's another. Oh, it's Reggie Van Anderstand.

00:08:32Can you imagine Reggie Van Anderstand sending me a telegram?

00:08:36Oh, if only the folks back on the farm could...

00:08:39I mean, if only Mother were here to enjoy this.

00:08:43Here's another.

00:08:44Can't make the opera tonight.

00:08:46Stuck in New York pizza parlor washing dishes to pay the bill.

00:08:49You'll have to get along without us, the Pasquale Opera Company.

00:08:58Can't make the opera tonight.

00:09:01Stuck in New York pizza parlor washing dishes to pay the bill.

00:09:05Stuck in New York pizza parlor washing dishes to pay the bill.

00:09:09You'll have to get along without us, the Pasquale Opera Company.

00:09:17What am I going to do?

00:09:20I'm ruined. I'm disgraced.

00:09:25I'll be the laughing stock of Nashville society.

00:09:30What am I going to do?

00:09:32I got it.

00:09:33Instead of giving them operatic opera,

00:09:35why not give them country and western opera?

00:09:38Oh, I'm afraid not.

00:09:40Why? What's wrong with that?

00:09:42Well, these people expect finer things.

00:09:46Well, what's finer than country and western music?

00:09:49And the people who sing it. And the people who write it and play it.

00:09:53I mean, just because some words of music can't be understood,

00:09:56that doesn't mean it's wonderful.

00:09:57You know, country and western music is the American way.

00:10:01That's our heritage.

00:10:02It was born right here in the hills.

00:10:05Our fathers used to sing it and love it.

00:10:08And so did our grandfathers.

00:10:10And our great grandfathers.

00:10:12They saved this music for us.

00:10:14And now, today, they give it to us.

00:10:17This is music we love.

00:10:19Sung in the language we love.

00:10:22Sung so that we can understand it.

00:10:24You know something, if you really want to do something for your society, Frank,

00:10:28you tell them to try to understand this music before they try to understand opera.

00:10:32If you really want to do something for your society, Frank,

00:10:35you would give them an evening of country music.

00:10:39What's he doing? Putting on a country show or running for office?

00:10:42And I'll beg you that I can put together a great country music show to fill in tonight.

00:10:47And as long as it's for a good cause.

00:10:49Well, they'll all be glad to do it.

00:10:51And then, instead of one measly dollar,

00:10:54your charity will have lots of money.

00:10:56And your audiences, your audiences will just love it.

00:10:59Just as millions of other Americans do.

00:11:02Because nobody ever walks out on country music the way it's played in Nashville.

00:11:09Way down, Columbus stockades

00:11:14My friends, they've turned their backs on me

00:11:19You can go and leave me if you want to

00:11:25Never let me cross your mind

00:11:28For in your heart, you love another

00:11:34Leave me, darling, I don't mind

00:11:39Leave me, darling, I don't mind

00:11:43Last night, as I lay sleeping

00:11:48I dreamed I held you in my arms

00:11:52You got the money, honey, I got the time

00:11:55You got the money, honey, I got the time

00:11:59You got the money, honey, I got the time

00:12:03I got the money, I hope you got the time

00:12:07Hey, Da Vinci!

00:12:09Reverend!

00:12:11Hush!

00:12:13Oh, my barber's calling.

00:12:20Looks like everyone showed up.

00:12:22I didn't think they would after they heard the program changed.

00:15:00Oh, oh, there's one for me

00:15:02That

00:15:03Let's see

00:15:08Oh, oh, look at that

00:15:10That's beautiful

00:15:12I look so sharp they won't believe it

00:15:16You think I'm a peasant, huh?

00:15:18Man, how are you?

00:15:19Fine, Jimmy

00:15:20Nice to see you

00:15:21Pull up a chair and sit down

00:15:22Where I can talk to you

00:15:23No, you pull up a chair and sit down

00:15:25Everybody thinks I'm sitting down anyway, man

00:15:27It don't make any difference

00:15:28Can't beat him

00:15:29Hey, it's little Jimmy Dickens

00:15:30And Sleepin' at the Foot of the Bed

00:15:38Did you ever sleep at foot of the bed

00:15:41When the weather was a-whizzin' cold

00:15:43When the wind was pushin' around the house

00:15:45And the moon was yellow as gold

00:15:47And you gave your good, warm mattress up

00:15:49To Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Fred

00:15:52Too many kinfolks on a bad night

00:15:54So you went to the foot of the bed

00:15:57I could always wait till the old folks hit

00:16:00And keep believin' with grace

00:16:02The teacher could keep me after school

00:16:04I'd still have a smile on my face

00:16:06I could wear the big boy's wore-out clothes

00:16:09And let sister have my sled

00:16:11But I always did get my nanny goat

00:16:13To sleep at the foot of the bed

00:16:17. . .

00:16:35Was fine enough when the kinfolks gone

00:16:37When the kids brought brand new games

00:16:39You could see how fat all the old folks was

00:16:42And learn all the babies' names

00:16:44We had biscuits and custard and chicken pie

00:16:46And we all got Sunday fed

00:16:48But I don't learn well when night time come

00:16:51I was headin' for the foot of the bed

00:16:54They say some folks don't know what it is

00:16:57Having company all over the place

00:16:59To wrassle for cover on a winter night

00:17:01With a big foot a-sittin' in your face

00:17:03Hot, cold toenails a-scratchin' your back

00:17:06And the footboards scrubbin' your head

00:17:08I tell the world you ain't lost a thing

00:17:10Never sleepin' at the foot of the bed

00:17:12. . .

00:17:33I've done it over and over again

00:17:35In this land of the brave and free

00:17:37And in this hard-fought battle of life

00:17:40It's left its mark on me

00:17:42For I'm always a-strugglin' around with the foot

00:17:44Instead of forging ahead

00:17:46And I don't think it's come from a doggone thing

00:17:49But a-sleepin' at the foot of the bed

00:17:52. . .

00:17:56Thank you very much, thank you for your time

00:17:58Ladies and gentlemen, it's nice to be here with you

00:18:00As a part of our show

00:18:02And we certainly hope that you're all having a good time

00:18:04And enjoying it

00:18:05Well sir, and I do thank you too for the nice applause

00:18:08I don't know whether you enjoyed what I was doin'

00:18:10Or glad that I'm through

00:18:11But I'm grateful to you for your kindness

00:18:13I've got another song I'd like to do

00:18:15Bein' as I brought my guitar

00:18:16And it's hangin' right there in front of me

00:18:17Ain't a bit hard to find

00:18:19I got an old tune here

00:18:20And I don't expect too many of you to remember this

00:18:22But it goes back quite a ways

00:18:24I remember getting a request for it at one time

00:18:26Back in about 1929 in Detroit, I think it was

00:18:29For a song called John Henry

00:18:31Here we go again

00:18:40Johnny Henry was a little big boy

00:18:44No bigger than the palm of your hand

00:18:48When he's married she'll look at him proudly and say

00:18:52My Johnny gonna be a steel drivin' man

00:18:56Yeah Johnny gonna be a steel drivin' man

00:19:00Johnny Henry was a little big boy

00:19:04Sittin' on his mommy's knee

00:19:07When he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel

00:19:12Yes, am I gonna be the death of me, oh Lord

00:19:16Yes, am I gonna be the death of me

00:19:31. . .

00:19:39Johnny Henry was a steel drivin' man

00:19:43He drove steel all over the land

00:19:46Before he would let that steam that beat him down

00:19:51He died with a hammer in his hand, Lord, oh Lord

00:19:55Died with that hammer in his hand

00:19:58Johnny Henry went up on the mountain

00:20:02And he looked down the other side

00:20:06And the last words he heard were, oh Johnny, him to say

00:20:11Go drink the water before I die, Lord, oh Lord

00:20:15Go drink the water before I die

00:20:28. . .

00:20:38Johnny Henry said to his shaker

00:20:42Hey shaker, you'd better pray

00:20:46For if I would miss this stick of glue still

00:20:50Tomorrow'll be a burying day, poor boy

00:20:54Tomorrow'll be a burying day

00:20:58Johnny and me had a little woman

00:21:02And her name was Holly Ann

00:21:06Old John got sick and he had to go to bed

00:21:10Holly drove that steel like a man, oh Lord

00:21:14Holly drove that steel like a man

00:21:20Now folks, that's what I call real country music.

00:21:24Thank you so much.

00:21:26Here's a team that everybody loves in country music

00:21:29and country music fans all across the world

00:21:32are just crazy about these two wonderful people.

00:21:39and a big hit record of Don't Let Me Cross Over.

00:21:43Don't Let Me Cross Over

00:21:46Don't let me cross over

00:21:50Those cheating lies

00:21:54Well, I'm tempted, my darlin'

00:21:59To steal you away

00:22:03Don't let me cross over

00:22:07Stay out of my way

00:22:11You know that I love you

00:22:15And I'm not a stealin' type

00:22:19But I'm faced with heartache

00:22:23At love's cheating lies

00:22:27Don't let me cross over

00:22:32Love's cheating lies

00:22:36You belong to another

00:22:40And can never be mine

00:22:44Well, I know one step closer

00:22:48Would be hell of undefined

00:22:52Don't let me cross over

00:22:57Love's cheating lies

00:23:02Well, I've tried to forget you

00:23:07But what else can I do

00:23:11When your eyes keep saying

00:23:16That you love me too

00:23:20Oh, I know if I'd lose you

00:23:25Not a dream would come true

00:23:29Not a dream will I have left

00:23:33I don't want to cheat you

00:23:37But I can't help myself

00:23:41Don't let me cross over

00:23:45Love's cheating lies

00:23:49You belong to another

00:23:53And can never be mine

00:23:57Well, I know one step closer

00:24:01Would be hell of undefined

00:24:05Don't let me cross over

00:24:09Love's cheating lies

00:24:17Thank you, friends.

00:24:18And for our next number,

00:24:19we'd like to do one entitled

00:24:21I Thought I'd Let You Know.

00:24:23I thought I'd let you know

00:24:24I thought I'd let you know

00:24:36I give me friends a-buttonin'

00:24:40But I'd like a word with you

00:24:44Each night you're standing at this bar

00:24:48The way I used to do

00:24:52I've got a bit of free advice for you before I go.

00:24:59You're on your way to losing her.

00:25:03Just thought I'd let you know.

00:25:09We've got one thing in common you might not know about.

00:25:18But you're the guy who shares the love I have to live without.

00:25:26That girl who waits for you to call you should have hours ago.

00:25:34That same girl used to wait for me.

00:25:38Just thought I'd let you know.

00:25:49You drink and dance with other girls while she waits every night.

00:26:02You say you're doing nothing wrong but you know it just ain't right.

00:26:10I did just like you're doing now.

00:26:15I know I've hurt her so and that's why she walked out on me.

00:26:23Just thought I'd let you know.

00:26:29Just thought I ought to tell you it's the least that I can do.

00:26:37Don't want to see her hurt again for I still love her true.

00:26:45If you're too proud to listen then when she lets you go

00:26:53I'll be around to take her back.

00:26:57Just thought I'd let you know.

00:27:08What can I say? Just absolutely great.

00:27:12Perhaps the most important thing about country singers is the music that they sing to.

00:27:19And just to prove it, here's our band with the real Toe Tapper.

00:27:24Boys, let her go.

00:27:37I'm going to give the same thing you gave my brother John.

00:27:58I'm one of the Queen's men.

00:28:00All of you come at me.

00:28:03Come at me. How many are you?

00:28:05Fourteen, fifteen, eighteen. I don't care.

00:28:08Get your swords out all of you.

00:28:11Uh-oh. The opera company has arrived.

00:28:14Because he must be from the opera company.

00:28:17I've got to get rid of him before he spoils everything.

00:28:21Well, here goes nothing.

00:28:41Listen to that applause.

00:28:44They love it.

00:28:46And I do too.

00:28:50If there ever was a teenage idol in country music, it was Lefty Brazil.

00:28:57My goodness, did he have the hit records in the crowds and he still packs them in.

00:29:01Here's his big hit record, his first one that put him right up to the top.

00:29:06If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

00:29:11If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

00:29:16If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

00:29:21We'll go honky-tonking and we're going to have the time.

00:29:26We'll make all the nice folks dance to the music's rhyme.

00:29:30If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

00:29:36Well, ain't no use to tarry, so let's start out tonight.

00:29:41We'll spread joy, oh, oh, and we'll spread it right.

00:29:45We'll have more fun, baby, all the way down the line.

00:29:50If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

00:30:07If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

00:30:13If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

00:30:18We'll go honky-tonking and we're going to have the time.

00:30:23Bring along your cattle, I'll leave no wreck behind.

00:30:27If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

00:30:34We'll go honky-tonking, make every club in town.

00:30:39We'll go to the park, Red Star, we won't fool around.

00:30:43But if you run short of money, I'll run short of time.

00:30:48Cause you've got no more money, honey, I've no more time.

00:30:58Thank you.

00:30:59Thank you very much.

00:31:02And now, here's Saginaw, Michigan.

00:31:12I was born in Saginaw, Michigan.

00:31:19I grew up in a house in Saginaw Bay.

00:31:26My daddy was a poor, hard-working Saginaw fisherman.

00:31:33Too many times he came home with a little pay.

00:31:40I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan.

00:31:48The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man.

00:31:54But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman.

00:32:01And not good enough to claim his daughter's hand.

00:32:08Now I'm up here in Alaska, looking around for gold.

00:32:16Like a crazy fool, I'm a-digging in this frozen ground so cold.

00:32:25But with each new day, I pray I'll strike it rich and then

00:32:31I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan.

00:32:37Saginaw, Michigan.

00:32:46I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan.

00:32:52Saginaw, Michigan.

00:32:54I said, honey, I'm coming home.

00:32:57Please wait for me.

00:33:00And you can tell your dad I'm coming back a richer man.

00:33:07I hit the biggest strike in Klondike history.

00:33:14Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan.

00:33:20Saginaw, Michigan.

00:33:22He gave me a great big party with champagne.

00:33:28Then he said, son, you're a wise, young, ambitious man.

00:33:36Will you sell your father-in-law here upon thy claim?

00:33:43Now he's up there in Alaska, digging in the cold, cold ground.

00:33:50The greedy fool is a-looking for the gold I never found.

00:33:59And it serves him right to know I heard his missing hand.

00:34:06Least of all the newlyweds of Saginaw, Michigan.

00:34:11Saginaw, Michigan.

00:34:12We're the happiest man wild in Saginaw, Michigan.

00:34:18Saginaw, Michigan.

00:34:19He's ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan.

00:34:25Saginaw, Michigan.

00:34:32What makes country music so great?

00:34:35Well, as long as people can laugh, cry, hope, and love,

00:34:40there'll always be country music.

00:34:42And here's genuine country music in the form of Bill Monroe and all the Bluegrass Boys.

00:34:48We really love you.

00:34:49Thank you.

00:34:50Thank you.

00:34:51Good morning, mushrooms!

00:34:57He's a god.

00:34:58He's a god.

00:56:03Howdy, I'm just as proud to be here

00:56:06And I am proud

00:56:08Boy, I tell you right now, this is the friendliest place

00:56:11Several fellas have looked at me and smiled

00:56:13One of them laughed right out loud

00:56:16You know, the funniest thing happened to me just now

00:56:18There was two fellas standing out there

00:56:20And one of them said to the other one when I come by

00:56:22He said, I believe that's the ugliest woman I ever seen

00:56:25And the other one said, yeah, she's ugly

00:56:27But she might be a pretty good old girl

00:56:29You know, beauty's only skin deep

00:56:31And the other one said, well, let's skin her

00:56:34I can't help the way I look when they pass around looks

00:56:36I thought they said books

00:56:38And I said, give me a funny one

00:56:41But you know, I wanted to bring my brother with me

00:56:43Oh, he looks so well this year

00:56:45We've cut his hair off now, you can see his eyes

00:56:48He looks a lot better than he did last year

00:56:50Along about hog killing time

00:56:51He fell off and got so thin

00:56:52We had to starch his underwear to hold him up

00:56:55But I tell you, he had the funniest thing happen last summer

00:56:58He was coming along there at Grinder's Switch

00:57:00Now, that's where I live, that's Grinder's Switch

00:57:02And that's a place where you don't read the newspaper

00:57:05To find out who's doing what

00:57:06You already know that

00:57:07You just read the newspaper to find out if they got cut at it

00:57:11The brother was walking along there

00:57:12Had his axe on his shoulder, been cutting sprouts

00:57:14And there's a fella come by in a big Cadillac

00:57:16All air-conditioned

00:57:17Well, see, brother hadn't ever been inside

00:57:19One of them Cadillacs that was all air-conditioned

00:57:21He didn't know nothing about that

00:57:22So the fella rolled down the window and says

00:57:24You want a ride?

00:57:25Brother said, don't care if I do

00:57:26Well, he got in there and it's just nice and cool

00:57:28In that Cadillac

00:57:29And oh, it is hot outside

00:57:31They rolled along a little further

00:57:32And the fella said, what you been doing today?

00:57:34Brother said, cutting sprouts

00:57:36He said, well, what do you plan to do tomorrow?

00:57:39Brother said, well, I was planning on cutting sprouts

00:57:42But with this change in the weather

00:57:43I think I'll kill hogs

00:57:46But you know, I wanted also to tell you about my feller

00:57:51Oh, he liked to have a fit

00:57:52When he found out I was coming up here

00:57:54And being with all these show people around here

00:57:56He said, you'll get off up there

00:57:58And one of them fellers will run off with you

00:58:00I wish they would

00:58:02Boy, I couldn't go for it right now

00:58:05You all think all I think about is fellers

00:58:07That's right

00:58:09But my feller, he come over to see me last night

00:58:12And we was sitting on the double settee in the front room

00:58:14And I was sitting by him

00:58:15And he was sitting by me

00:58:17And we was just sitting there

00:58:18Just one by each and each by the other

00:58:20And it was so romantic

00:58:22Except for one thing

00:58:23We got a great big old tall grandfather clock in our front room

00:58:26Stands about four or five axe handles tall

00:58:28Again, the wall

00:58:29And it ticks slow

00:58:30Every time my feller comes over here to keep me company

00:58:32Seemed like that old clock saying, take your time

00:58:36Take your time

00:58:38I ought to get one of them fast ticking little clocks

00:58:40Get together, get together, get together, get together

00:58:43Ain't this awful, grown girl of 18 up here caroling

00:58:46Well, I'm going to sing now

00:58:48If them fellers will give me a chard back here

00:58:50And about to gear C, fellers

00:58:51I'd like to rip off here with a few spasms of comfort and joy

00:58:55Oh!

00:58:58You know, I had trouble with my throat

00:59:00And I went to the doctor

00:59:01And he gave me some medicine

00:59:02And it liked to kill me

00:59:03It wasn't the medicine hurt me

00:59:04It was the directions on the bottle

00:59:06Said take it two nights of running and skip a night

00:59:10Well, that is bad

00:59:11Them nights I took it of running

00:59:12Oh!

00:59:13Them nights I had to take it of skipping

00:59:14That liked to kill me

00:59:16Me with a bad throat

00:59:17Well, here we go

00:59:19Oh, love, oh, love, oh, careless love

00:59:24Love, oh, love, that is untrue

00:59:27Love, oh, love, oh, careless love

00:59:30You love some fella that don't love you

00:59:35You can pass my window, pass my door

00:59:39Pass my window, pass my door

00:59:42Pass my window, pass my door

00:59:45But you sure can't pass my 44

00:59:50Oh, love, oh, love, oh, careless love

00:59:54Love, oh, love, oh, careless love

00:59:58Love, oh, love, oh, careless love

01:00:01You love some fella that don't love you

01:00:11You know, no matter where you go,

01:00:13Texas seems to be a magic word.

01:00:16And a magic word in country music

01:00:19is Billy Walker singing Charlie's Shoes.

01:00:22Bill, come on out.

01:00:31I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes

01:00:35That's what I always said

01:00:38Cause he had you and everything

01:00:41Tied with a golden thread

01:00:44Then Charlie left and went away

01:00:48And when I got the news

01:00:51It wasn't long till I was walking round

01:00:55In Charlie's shoes

01:00:59Now I'm wearing out the shoes

01:01:02That Charlie wore

01:01:06Walking back and forth across the floor

01:01:12The troubles that drove him away

01:01:16I've got more company

01:01:19These nights in Charlie's shoes

01:01:22Are killing me

01:01:29The greener grass that turned my head

01:01:34So swiftly did turn brown

01:01:37Cause every little dream I build

01:01:41She's always tearing down

01:01:44I never knew old Charlie's shoes

01:01:48Could have so many tacks

01:01:51Of disappointing sorrows

01:01:54And I wish he had them back

01:01:59Cause I'm wearing out the shoes

01:02:02That Charlie wore

01:02:06Walking back and forth across the floor

01:02:12The troubles that drove him away

01:02:16I've got more company

01:02:19These nights in Charlie's shoes

01:02:22Are killing me

01:02:38How do you do it?

01:02:39How do you make it look so easy?

01:02:42Thank you, Merle

01:02:43Billy, let me ask you a question

01:02:45Of all the songs that you recorded

01:02:47All the hits and all the songs

01:02:49What is your favorite song?

01:02:52Well, I guess one of my favorite

01:02:54Is a song a fellow Texan of mine wrote

01:02:56By the name of Ted Daffin

01:02:58Wrote a beautiful song called

01:03:00Born to Lose

01:03:01Why don't you do it now?

01:03:02I'd love to

01:03:03I'd love to too

01:03:15Born to lose

01:03:18I've lived my life in vain

01:03:25Every dream

01:03:28Has only brought me pain

01:03:34All my life

01:03:37I've always been so blue

01:03:44Born to lose

01:03:47And now I'm losing you

01:03:54Born to lose

01:03:57It seems so hard to bear

01:04:04How I long

01:04:07To always have you near

01:04:14You've grown tired

01:04:17And now you say we're through

01:04:23Born to lose

01:04:27And now I'm losing you

01:04:43Born to lose

01:04:46My every hope is gone

01:04:53It's so hard

01:04:56To face an empty dawn

01:05:03You were long

01:05:06The happiness I knew

01:05:13Born to lose

01:05:16And now I'm losing you

01:05:23Thank you

01:05:29Hello, folks

01:05:46Thank you very much

01:05:47Bonus ledge

01:05:53And now here is the Cinderella story of country music

01:05:58Miss Connie Smith cut her first record

01:06:01And it was a smash-a-roo

01:06:03Here's Miss Connie Smith

01:06:05To sing that big hit record for you

01:06:07Right now

01:06:08Connie

01:06:17When you found somebody new

01:06:20I thought I never would

01:06:24Forget you

01:06:26For I thought then

01:06:28I never could

01:06:31But time has taken

01:06:33All the pains away

01:06:37Until now

01:06:39I'm down to hurt

01:06:41Once a day

01:06:44Once a day

01:06:48All day long

01:06:51And once a night

01:06:55Just till dawn

01:06:58The only time

01:07:01I wish you weren't gone

01:07:05Is once a day

01:07:07Every day

01:07:09All day long

01:07:19I'm so glad

01:07:21That I'm not like a girl

01:07:23I knew one time

01:07:26She lost the one she loved

01:07:30And slowly lost her mind

01:07:33She sat around

01:07:36And cried her life away

01:07:40Lucky me

01:07:42I'm only crying

01:07:44Once a day

01:07:47Once a day

01:07:50All day long

01:07:53And once a night

01:07:57Just till dawn

01:08:00The only time

01:08:03I wish you weren't gone

01:08:07Is once a day

01:08:09Every day

01:08:11All day long

01:08:15Once a day

01:08:17Every day

01:08:19All day long

01:08:27Here is two of the most unpredictable

01:08:30Entertainers in country music

01:08:32The crazy zany

01:08:34Homer and Jethro

01:08:36Goodbye man

01:08:37We gotta scram down the highway

01:08:39Stick out your thumb

01:08:41You son of a gun

01:08:42I'm going my way

01:08:44I got a ride with a guy in a wagon

01:08:48In a sack on the back

01:08:50He was a dragon

01:08:52Jambalaya

01:08:53She can fly

01:08:54Pinin' and a-puttin'

01:08:56Cause tonight I'm gonna see

01:08:58Old Sally good

01:09:00Danced all night on my feet

01:09:02For a blister

01:09:04Had to sidetrack

01:09:06Her nose when I kissed her

01:09:13guitar solo

01:09:25On the couch side by side we were settlin'

01:09:29And just about the time we started a-fettin'

01:09:33Some big hick

01:09:35Throwed a brick through the window

01:09:38Hit her side and hurt her

01:09:41Jambalaya horse

01:09:43Eatin' pie on a bush cart

01:09:45Flipped my lid

01:09:47Always did love that friend of hers

01:09:50It was rough with the meat

01:09:52Was tough but she didn't slow

01:09:54Almost choked

01:09:56When some below-collared woe

01:09:58guitar solo

01:10:11Jack the Fart Magma Knife

01:10:31Jambalaya pizza pineapple soupy

01:10:35Spotted hammered again

01:10:37Spotted hammered again

01:10:39Chocolate coated sari

01:10:41When we sing it sounds just like a cat and dog fight

01:10:45But we don't sing for money just for spite

01:10:58Thank you very much

01:11:00We would like to continue here

01:11:03With a tune that we've had little or no success with

01:11:08And I think we can keep up our record on this one

01:11:12This was recorded on a long playing cylinder many years ago

01:11:18You look clean but you laugh dirty

01:11:22This is called The Battle of Cucamonga

01:11:33Well in 1959 we took a little hike

01:11:36With our scout master down a lake in Eganike

01:11:38We took a little pizza and we took some sauerkraut

01:11:41Marched along together till we seen the girl scout

01:11:43We're the boys from Camp Cucamonga

01:11:46Our mother sent us here first to study nature's ways

01:11:48We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

01:11:51If we catch some girls then we'll set the woods ablaze

01:11:55Well we creeped up in the water and we seen the girls a-swimming

01:11:58There must have been a hundred of them pretty young women

01:12:00They looked so fine even birds forgot to sing

01:12:02We laid down the poison oak and didn't say a thing

01:12:05We're the boys from Camp Cucamonga

01:12:07Our mother sent us here first to study nature's ways

01:12:10We learned to make sparks by rubbing sticks together

01:12:12If we catch some girls then we'll set the woods ablaze

01:12:30Well the counsellors said we could take them by surprise

01:12:33If we didn't say a word till we looked them in the eyes

01:12:36We kept real still and we had our eyes aglue

01:12:38Seen how they were dressed they were swimming in the well

01:12:42Ran through the browers and they ran through the brambles

01:12:44And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit didn't go

01:12:46They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them

01:12:49From Lake Eganike all the way to Buffalo

01:12:53Well we marched around till everyone was pooped

01:12:56Rested for a minute and our forces we regrouped

01:12:58Then we seen the girls behind some evergreens

01:13:00Catched by a company of United States Marines

01:13:03We're the boys from Camp Cucamonga

01:13:05Our mother sent us here first to study nature's ways

01:13:08We learned to make sparks by rubbing girls sticks

01:13:11You said rubbing girls together

01:13:13I know what I'm saying

01:13:15You rub what you like together

01:13:19Rubbing girls together

01:13:20If we catch some sticks then we'll set the woods ablaze

01:13:31Now neighbors, keep our show moving

01:13:34This is called Clyde Smith

01:13:36Promenaders in an old-time square dance

01:13:39Oh no, the opera company's here

01:13:41They're getting dressed

01:13:42I've got to stop them

01:13:49Well now you bounce with a partner in corners too

01:13:52Circle to the left, that's what you do

01:13:53Just circle to the left

01:13:55Walk all the way around the left-hand lady

01:13:58Come back home she saw that fiddle-diddle-da

01:14:01Now the man left with a fiddle-left-hand

01:14:03And here comes a right-left-hand

01:14:06Oh, I've got to get this off

01:14:08Off the line

01:14:10You promenade four-by-four in a six-by-eight

01:14:12And promenade right back on

01:14:14Then one-and-three

01:14:16Run up to the middle and come on back

01:14:18Then part two

01:14:20Hither and a-left-through and turn the girls

01:14:25Promenade eight, it's home you go

01:14:27Well now you bow to the partner in corners

01:14:29All the real good-dancin' kids

01:14:31You know, kids, that's it, that's all

01:14:41Well, friends and neighbors, right now we're pleased

01:14:43To bring to you a person that really starts things moving

01:14:46A long-time favorite of country music

01:16:35Well, much obliged, Burroughs.

01:16:37In fact, you have another number to do,

01:16:39and where are you gonna go to beat that one?

01:18:53Down south in New Orleans

01:19:03We're very proud of this particular

01:19:05lady we're bringing to you.

01:19:07She's our queen of country music

01:19:09and she's held that title for many, many years.

01:19:12Let's bring out the one, the only

01:19:14Her Royal Majesty, Miss Kitty Wells

01:19:17singing Amigo's Guitar.

01:19:20Tonight they're singing in the hillside

01:19:27Tomorrow we'll be gone so far

01:19:34Hold me close and say you love me

01:19:40While Amigo plays his blue guitar

01:19:48I am young and lonely

01:19:54And while I wonder where you are

01:20:01Manana morning, my darling

01:20:07One I'll be through as Amigo's guitar

01:20:21They heard the singing in the midnight

01:20:28All is quiet beneath the stars

01:20:35Amigo plays his blue guitar

01:20:48I am young and lonely

01:20:55And while I wonder where you are

01:21:02Manana morning, my darling

01:21:08I'll be through as Amigo's guitar

01:21:20Thank you so much, Kitty. That was beautiful.

01:21:22Absolutely wonderful.

01:21:24As a favor to me, and of course I know

01:21:26to the folks out there, they'll love this one.

01:21:28Would you mind doing a special song?

01:21:31It wasn't God who made Honky Tonk Angels.

01:21:33I'd love to.

01:21:43As I sit here tonight

01:21:47The jukebox plays

01:21:53The tune about the wild side of life

01:22:01As I listen to the words you are saying

01:22:10It brings memories when I was a trusting wife

01:22:18It wasn't God who made Honky Tonk Angels

01:22:27As you said in the words of your song

01:22:35Too many times married men think they're still single

01:22:45That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

01:23:03It's a shame that all the blame is on us women

01:23:11It's not true that only men feel the same

01:23:20From the start most every heart that's ever broken

01:23:29Was because there always was a man to blame

01:23:37It wasn't God who made Honky Tonk Angels

01:23:46As you said in the words of your song

01:23:54Too many times married men think they're still single

01:24:04That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

01:24:19Here's where years of hard work and practice pays off

01:24:23In one Mr. Buddy Spiker and the old-time fiddle breakdown

01:24:28Black Mountain Rags

01:24:33Black Mountain Rags

01:25:03Black Mountain Rags

01:25:33Black Mountain Rags

01:25:35Black Mountain Rags

01:26:03After all, you are responsible for...

01:26:06What's that?

01:26:07I'm from the opera.

01:26:09After all, you are responsible for all of this

01:26:13And we do want you to come on at the end

01:26:15After the final curtain.

01:26:16Thank you.

01:26:17Actually, it's my husband who's responsible.

01:26:20I better go get dressed.

01:35:38Thank you very much. It's a pleasure for me to be here, and I think if I hurry right along,

01:35:41I'll have time to do another song. This one here

01:35:44bought a lot of biscuits down around the young home. This one's called Hello, Waltz.

01:35:49Hello, Waltz. Hello, hello.

01:35:59Hello, Waltz. Hello, hello.

01:36:03Hot things go for you today. Don't you miss her?

01:36:13Since she often walks away, and I'll bet you

01:36:20pray to spend another lonely night with me. But only once I'll keep you company.

01:36:34Hello, Wendell. Hello, hello.

01:36:38Well, I see that you're still here. Aren't you lonely?

01:36:47Since our darling disappeared. Well, look here, is that a teardrop

01:36:57in the corner of your eye? Now, don't you try to tell me that it's rain.

01:37:08She went away and left us all alone the way she planned.

01:37:16Yes, we'll have to learn to get along with each other if we can.

01:37:26Hello, Celia. Hello, hello.

01:37:29I'm going to stare at you a while. You know I can't sleep.

01:37:36So, won't you bear with me a while? We've got to all stick together or else

01:37:48I'll lose my mind. I've got a feeling for a long, long time.

01:38:06You know, the folks down in West Monroe, Louisiana, certainly must be proud of this

01:38:12next artist. He's had hit after hit after hit. Ladies and gentlemen, here's Mr. Webb Pierce.

01:38:36The landlord said she ain't here no more. I ain't never, oh darling.

01:38:43I seen nobody like you. But I love you. Yeah, I love you. I love you just the same.

01:39:06Hey, you tell me sweet things that you don't mean. You got me living in a haunted dream.

01:39:15You make me do things I don't want to do. My friends will say, well, what's wrong with you?

01:39:22I ain't never, oh darling. I seen nobody like you. But I love you. Yeah, I love you.

01:39:33I love you just the same. I love you just the same. I love you just the same.

01:39:49Thank you very much, folks. And here's a beautiful ballad I'd like to sing for you now.

01:39:53It goes kind of like this.

01:40:24Now I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do. Far slowly I'm falling more in love with you.

01:40:40More and more I need you and want you by my side. More and more I love you as each day passes by.

01:40:58My heart, I know you're stealing. I hope that you'll be true. Far slowly I'm falling more in love with you.

01:41:28My heart, I know you're stealing. I hope that you'll be true. Far slowly I'm falling more in love with you.

01:41:53Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you've enjoyed watching this show half as much as we've enjoyed presenting the show to you.

01:42:05We're asking now Sonny James, the southern gentleman, to lead us in that fine song, When the Saints Go Marching In.

01:42:13I am just a weary pilgrim plotting through... I was a fool to think that country music wasn't good enough for me. I'm sorry.

01:42:24Oh, honey, let's face it. Anybody that likes some kind of music can't be all bad, and we love you. Join in, you'll see how easy it is.

01:42:30Oh, when the saints go marching in. Oh, when the saints go marching in. Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.

01:42:48My father loved the Savior. What a soldier he had been. But his step will be more steady when the saints go marching in.

01:43:05Oh, when the saints go marching in. Oh, when the saints go marching in. Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.

01:43:22Oh, when the saints go marching in. Oh, when the saints go marching in. Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.

01:43:38Oh, when the saints go marching in. Oh, when the saints go marching in. Oh, Lord, I want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.
