Well, well, well, well. Howdy, folks. Your pleasure to have you pay us a visit as we get together in the old corral for a little song festival. Hi, boys. Well, if you folks will all just find yourself a comfortable spot up on the top rail and relax for a spell, all these boys of the old west will hog tie and brand a few tunes for you. Of course, I don't know yet what they'll start out with, but I'll allow. You like it, folks? What's it going to be, fella? How about getting Dolph up this thing? Shall we?

Dolph
Get him up here.

Pappy Cheshire
Come on, Dolph. They seem to like your singing. I can't understand why. Understand why? How about singing sh. Land from Cheyenne? Oh, that's what it is.

Dolph
She wears a big somber roll she sand here's the pride and joy of every cowboy Shy little and fun shy she has my poor heart Laugh oh, dime an innocent old cowhand but what would you do if you'd win? You too, guy. Little Anton G. At night when the stars are in the sky and the moon's above we'll ride down the sunset.

Pappy Cheshire
I never did get too much of your singing there. For heaven's sakes, I wish you'd look over There, Wade. Will one of you boys prod him or something? Get him away. What is the only man I ever saw him alive that could stand up and play a fiddle sound asleep. I declare to goodness, Wade, why don't you wake up and play us a little snappy tune? Oh, I'm too tarp. How about getting Dolph to play one on his fiddle? All right, Dolph, come on over here. Looks like you're going to have to play the fiddle, too, so go right ahead.
- [04:48]
Sally
It.
- [05:35]
Pappy Cheshire
George, there's nothing like that, I'll tell you. I said, for heaven's sake, Wade, what in the world will it take to wake you up? Well, b. When we have these stations, why don't you get Sally Forcer over here? That'd keep me awake. It would, huh? Wade, Sally's here. Look, she's sitting right over there with that broken wagon there.
- [05:53]
Sally
She.
- [05:53]
Pappy Cheshire
Right over there. Sally, I'm glad you're here. That boy's been asleep ever since we started. Sally's singing song, will you. You think he's wide awake enough to play an introduction to her wandering around in his trees?
- [06:31]
Sally
My laughter is new My brother across the pl. When I was younger I used to be a high prod I loved a girl she loved my pet so I packed my bag inside of my nagging bell I just thrown. Now we're only a lonely tree O without a friend Trail alone and bless me My laughed mute My broken down me.
- [08:12]
Pappy Cheshire
Thank you, Sally. Thank you. Look at that boy. He's wide awake as well. That's all right. I noticed all you laying your instruments down. Well, guess that means you want to hear a story, huh? Well, I'll be glad to tell. Why, you know, I've heard so much romance and all these singings and tune playing here tonight that it reminds me of a couple of fellows in the old days. They worked on the same ranch as me. I expect you've heard me talk about them many times. They called them Bozo and Shorty. They're both pretty good singers in a rough sort of way. And one of them was a fair guitar player. Some of the boys used to say they got their knowledge of rhythm from listening to bullfrogs or croaking at night. Well, anyway, they used to do their romancing with their singing and guitar playing. One time they both made. One time they both made. One time they both made a trip into town to kind of see the sights. And since both of them. Since both of them. Since both of them is pretty big eaters, they stopped in an eating place as soon as they got to town. This place was called the High Delight restaurant where they stopped. And that was where they met Lula Bell Benson. Met Lula Bell Benson. Met Lula Bell Benson. She owned the restaurant. She owned the restaurant. Lula Bell was a blonde, blue eyed and just about as big around as both Bozo and Shorty put together. But her cooking, it just knocked those two waddies as dizzy as a pair of locoed hyenas. Well, pretty soon those two cow folks was spending most of their time just sitting around the High Delight and strumming and singing romantic songs for all his worth. And it wasn't long till they both had asked her for her hand in marriage. Well, sir Lulabelle didn't make no answer just then, but was certain right off that Shorty was the Romeo on the balcony. That Shorty was a fickle sort of a critter. Once he had Lulabella drooping cow eyes at him, he suddenly seemed to lose interest. And finally one day he says to Bozo, says Bozo, I can see that you're carrying a whole lot for Lulibell. And I ain't going to stand in your way, pal. I'm going to leave the arena of romance to you. I'm returned with victory in my grasp. He says in brief, Bozo, Lulabelle is yours. I'm stepping out of the contest. Yes sir, I'm leaving. Well sir, I tell you, Bozo was as tickled as a one legged dog with a million fleas. And he run right to Lula Belle and told her what Shorty had said and asked her to marry him right away. But you know, fate's a funny thing. They never did get married. Because just as they got right in front of the courthouse to where they could get the license, she suddenly broke away from Bozo and went running down the street. She run up to some feller, all of a sudden start beaten up on him, knocked him flat with him, knocked him flat with him, knocked him flat with one swing of her fist and then jumped on Bozo. He stood there kind of dazed and he said to a stranger who had just come walking up in the direction of the fight, said, say, what is that all about? The fellow said, oh, some unlucky critters no doubt guilted Lulabelle again, but I don't feel sorry for him. He'd be worse off if he married her. She beat her first husband blamed near death one time cause he lost 20 bucks in the poker game. Yes sir, fella, her Husbands don't last long. Well, that was all Bozo wanted to hear. He jumped straddle of his pony and burned leather out of town. Never stopped till he got plumbed back to the ranch. I think it was about two months after that that Shorty come back to the ranch, too. And before he could get off of his horse, Bozo told him what a lucky fella he was. Told him all about what had happened. Winding up by saying, yes, sir, Shorty. She sure beat the daylights out of some poor critter. I could hear bones a cracking for a block. And Shorty looked at him and said, ain't it the truth? They just took the splints off my arms and the bandages off my head at the hospital this morning. And he got down off his horse and he limped toward the bunk house. Bozo looked after him and he says, lucky me. Look what romance done to him. Just looks like Shorty was born to lose.

Pappy Cheshire
Kind of surprised me with that little dance, folks. Well, friends, I see the cooks waving the dish rag up at the cook shack, so that means eating time. Won't you all join us in a little grub? Of course, you might have a little trouble in outreaching these hyenas, but I'll put in a good word for you, the cook, and maybe he'll hold back a little for you. By the way, how about gathering in the old corral with us next time for another song fest. It sure be a pleasure to have you. This is Pappy Cheshire talking for all the boys. And Sally saying, so long, everybody. So long.
