Oh, they run through the briars and they run through the brambles and they run through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go. They run so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them. Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Old Hickory said we could take them by surprise if we didn't fire a musket. Still we looked them in the eyes, held our fire till we seed their faces well Then we opened up for squirrel guns and really gave them well we fired our guns and the British kept the commons. There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. Fired once more they began to run down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down and we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round Filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind. And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind, fired our guns and the British kept coming. There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago Fired once more they begin to runnin down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Oh, they run to the briers and they run to the brambles and they run to the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go. They run so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them. Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Three, four.

Thank you very much. Maggie Green Growing the Lilacs Sung for us by Maggie Atcher, far better half of the Atcher family, to our house friends. When you have a rat problem, then you know that a rat bait is only effective when the rats actually eat it. And if you've wasted your time and money on baits that rats won't eat, listen to this. In demonstrations at county fairs all over the country, millions of People actually watched rats eagerly eat decon, the world's best rat killer. Yes, rats just can't Resist Decon's exclusive LX321 formula, Eat Deacon hungrily, yet never suspect its bait, and that each bite puts another nail in their coffins. Decon, used as directed, is safe to use around small tilt pets, poultry and livestock. Yet it's guaranteed to keep your property rat and mouse free forever. Remember, a rat bait is only effective when rats eat it. And millions of people have seen for themselves how rats hungrily eat decon, the rat killer that outsells all others put together. So insist on decon spelled D C o N de con. You can get it at Kokomo Electric Hatchery at Kokomo, Indiana, at Kurth's Food Mart in Wilmington, Illinois, and at Ace Hardware, 8940 South Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. On with our national barn dance now. And at the microphone is Lino Frigo with his accordion. And probably. I see he is. I was going to say that Dave TOU sol would horn in on this one because these boys have played this one together many, many times times. Here it is. Dave Chauso and Lino Frigo with El Campanchero. El Campanxero. Dave Chauso moved away from the the big Hayloft Orchestra, brought his fiddle over and played along with Lino Frigo. And I thought Harry Hawthorne was gonna beat right through the head of those bongos. Did he break it? Oh, my. Well, that was good. We haven't heard yet from the curly headed cowboy from California, Cy Burton. Sigh. I see that you're gonna put the Hayloft Orchestra through their paces here, Bob. We got the best orchestra this side of the San Fernando Valley. And a boy, let me tell you, got a good one, I'll tell you. And everybody enjoys this, too. And it's the title song from the big, big play, Oklahoma. Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain and the waving wheat can sure smell sweet when the wind comes right.

Cy Burton singing for us. Oklahoma. Thank you very much. Si Farmers know that a rat killer is only effective when the rats actually eat it. And that's why more and more farmers have turned to decon, the rat killer that rats can't resist. Here's what Alan D. Meyer, who owns 280 acre farm near Fargo, North Dakota, says about de con and I. Close quote. I fought rats with lye, poison, hamburger, cats, just about everything, but nothing worked. Then I tried decon, and I'm not sorry. It sure killed the rats on my farm. Decon's the first rat killer that's worked for me. Unquote. Yes, farmers know that a rat killer is only effective when the rats actually eat it. And rats can't resist eating Decon's exclusive LX321 formula. Yet they never suspect it's bait. Decon used as directed, as safe to use around small children, pets, poultry and livestock. Yet it's guaranteed to keep your property rat and mouse free forever. So always insist on decon. D, C O N D Con. The world's best rat killer. You can get decon at Walton Department Store, Fairbury, Illinois. At Stones Hardware and Auto Supply in Lockport, Illinois, and at Genson or Jensen. I hate to mispronounce anyone's last name, but it's spelled G E N S O N. Jensen Hardware at Kankakee, Illinois. Rights and mice will disappear for it's decon that they fear. They'll be gone Passed away. Call for decon today. Oh, what a choir we've got here. I've always enjoyed that, boys. Thanks very much. Well, Lee Morgan. Lee. I see. What do we got here? Somebody humming a starting note for you?

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Over in the corner of the old hayloft here we've got a tone that's been going for some little while, but it stopped. Seems like the storm's over or something. What I was about to say is that Lee Morgan is about to team up with Davey Pitts here. And you know, this is something I never thought of. The title of this song, Lonely is an Island. I never thought how lonely an island would get to be out there all by itself.

[Bob Atcher]

Find out, shall we?

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

All right.

[Bob Atcher]

I'm lonely as an island in the middle of the the sea I'm sadder than a weeping willow tree I keep crying like a baby when its mother's gone away and that's the way I'll always be Till you're back to stay I can't sleep at night can eat a bite since we quarrel the other night I'm Lonely as an island in the middle of the sea and that's the way I'll be till you come back to me. Sam, I can't sleep at night. Carry the bite since we quarreled the other night. I'm lonely as an island in the middle of the sea and that's the way I'll be till you come back to me. Lonely, lonely, lonely.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Well, I'll tell you, that's pretty lonely.

[Bob Atcher]

So it's got to be April showers and rain, huh?

Thank you, boys and girls. And that's the last chance for April showers until next year. This time we hope. Hope I'll be singing it somewhere, I'm sure. And right now a tune that I'm doing because of many requests. Please believe that it's a tune that they've loved through the years. Irving Berlin's Beautiful Always.

You know how to tell what a person is really like. Just watch him drop. Most Anyone can apply the whitewash to give all appearances of being a lady or a gentleman. But when the chips are down, when just one driver cuts in front of him and robs him of his so called right of way, then you'll see the sparks fly in his true nature. In many cases the nature of a self centered boob. Remember this. Your driving reflects you. If you want to be considered by your friends and family as a responsible person, then act like one behind the wheel as well as elsewhere. Safe driving is a moral responsibility. When you drive, you're responsible not only for your own safety, but also the safety of others you carry with you or meet on the road. Just as you hope they'll watch out for you, so you must watch for them. Be a good guy and a safe one. Be a responsible driver.

[Bob Atcher]

9:30. You know, I like the nice way Bob Atcher and his very special gal friend sing the tried and true country and western songs, don't you? So let's say we join them now.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Got a little song to sing for you. Like to get in a little word or two. Bald headed man and his mean old.

[Bob Atcher]

Wife Hand in hand on the way through life. Sing a little song and move on Move on and move on.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Sing a little song and move on.

[Bob Atcher]

And I hope you like the show.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Let's get. I won't run away yet, honey. You just haul off and do the talking. If you laugh though, I'll step in here and start talking myself.

[Bob Atcher]

All right? Yes, all right. May I start. May I start off with a real, real old song? I suppose you'd call it folk song, but it goes back to Elizabethan days.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

This is an old, old English. Old English ballad. Goes back to, as you say, Elizabethan days.

[Bob Atcher]

Green sleeves. Alas, my love, you too to cast me off discourteously For I have loved you O so long Delighting in thy company Princely was all my joy Green sleeves was my delight Green sleeves was my heart of gold and who but my lover green sleep I have been ready at your hand to grant whatever you would crave I have both way to life and Land and your love and good will fall to have Green sleeves was my delight Green sleeves was all my joy Green sleeves was my home of gold and who but my lover Green sweet. Thank you. Thank you. Wow. And now, Attaboy, Bows. Your turn. I think this is really one of my very favorite songs that you do. It's kind of a sacred song, isn't it?

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Yes. Tis actually. It's an old cowboy hymn and it has a recitation also that goes along with it. And these days more than ever, I think it's up to date.

[Bob Atcher]

Yes, I think so too.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

In fact, in the recitation there have been a few small changes that do actually bring it up to date. Honey, you know, I heard a while ago that for the last 30 years there's been a group of ladies who've gotten together each Saturday night and listened to the National Barn Dance. And they're together tonight again as usual at the home of Ethel smith. And these 10 ladies have. Have been just good old buddies. And I sort of hope they enjoy this song as much as I do. This is a song friends with. So maybe we'll give you a little idea what happens to a person when he spends his life in open country. I've mentioned this before on the National Barn Dance, but I'd like to mention it again that we who live in big cities completely and altogether surrounded by things that are made by the hand of man are in a pretty good position to forget. But the man who lives out in the open country, everything around him made by the hand of God has very little opportunity to forget. And these are some of the thoughts that he has. O the place where I worship is the wide open open spaces built by.

[Bob Atcher]

The hand of the Lord.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Where the trees of the forest are like pipes of an organ and the breeze plays an aim and cor oh, the stars are the candles and they light up.

[Bob Atcher]

The mountains.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Mountains are altars of God. Yes, the place where I worship is.

[Bob Atcher]

The wide open spaces.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Built by the.

[Bob Atcher]

Hand of the Lord.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Yes, the place where I worship is the wide open spaces built by the hand of the Lord and he has given it to you and to me for all the world to see. There are no doors, no iron curtains and all Men are free there in the air. Like a joyous prayer, you can hear him say. This is your country, this is your home. Keep its splendor and guard its glory. It's a song of freedom ringing from the valley to the hilltops. It never, never stops. And all the birds on the wing are like a choir. You can hear them sing. You're free to worship here. All races, all, all creeds are one before God. And as you rest beside a silver stream, there pours into your soul a feeling of peace and of quiet. And you give thanks to him for making the eyes of your heart see the heritage he has given to you and to me. Yes, the place where I worship is the wide open spaces built by the.

[Bob Atcher]

Hand of the Lord.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

[Charles Woods]

Time for weekend news from ABC radio live at 55 brought to you by America's best selling, best tasting filter cigarette, Winston. Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. Charles woods reporting from the ABC Radio newsroom in New York, York. The House Space Committee has scheduled hearings next month on possible US Development of airliners that would travel at the rate of 2,000 miles an hour. In calling the hearings, Chairman Overton Brooks of Louisiana said that France, England and Russia reportedly already are working on such planes. Jets, the fastest passenger planes now travel at about 600 miles an hour. Turkish government officials are making arrangements to distribute food during a 24 hour long curfew. The starts at 4 o' clock this morning. The curfew was called as NATO foreign ministers were arriving in Istanbul for a pre summit meeting. On Monday, about 100 students demonstrating against the government of Premier Menderes staged a protest in front of the hotel where Secretary of State Herter and British Foreign Secretary Lloyd are staying. But infantry troops broke up the demonstration. Some 3,000 students were arrested. Earlier today day leading personalities in West Europe protested the execution of Carol Chessman today as his lawyers were making a last minute appeal to save the convict author from the gas chamber. On Monday, stars in the French sports and show business world signed the petition. And the Dean of Law at the University of Florence sent California Governor Edmund Brown a cable. Meanwhile, his attorneys petitioned the California State Supreme Court Court for a stay of execution. A petition that won't be heard until two hours before Chessman is scheduled to die. I have more news in just a moment.

Talk about bestselling records. Here's a familiar tune about America's bestselling filter cigarette Winston.

[Bob Atcher]

Winston gives you real flavor, full rich tobacco flavor.

[Jerry Golden]

And you know that's because only Winston has filter blend up front. Choice flavorful tobaccos specially selected and specially.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Processed for filter smoking. No wonder Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. Smoke Winston.

Back to the news. Salvage crews have recovered the bodies of two jet bomber crewmen from the Great Salt Lake. Victims were members of the civilian crew of a supersonic group jet that crashed in the lake eight days ago. A third crewman parachuted to safety. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Arleigh Burke says he thinks that the chances of an all out nuclear war are extremely remote. Burke made that statement today at a news conference in Chester, Pennsylvania. A Havana newspaper says it has received unconfirmed reports that Captain Manuel Beaton, leader of the anti Castro revolt has been captured. The report said that Beaton and six of his men were seized in the Sierra Maestra mountains. Meantime, thousands of Cuban peasants and field workers are gathering in Havana tonight for a huge mayday rally expected to bring new anti American attacks tomorrow. Other large mayday rallies are planned for Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow. Now our alternate sponsor, when excess stomach acid brings on heartburn pain. Remember in a way no other antacid does. Chews and chews alone stops acid pain in the heartburn zone. You see chews is the chewing gum antacid. Now other antacids quickly go right into your stomach. But chewing chews releases a steady flow of medicine, effectively soothes your heartburn zone and goes on to neutralize excess Acid in your stomach. So remember it's chews and chews alone. For acid pain in the heartburn zone. Weekend news has been brought to you by Winston. Winston often tastes good, like a cigarette should. Charles woods reporting.

Clock.

[Jerry Golden]

Now, Bob Atcher. Let's get on with our special visit in time on the one and only WLS National Barn Dance. So if that Hewitt boy and his pals, the Sage Riders, are ready and willing, put them on. My friend.

[Bob Atcher]

When you hear me call Ki o' de Li do yell. That means we'd like to say hello.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Here you are, Jerry golden, the king of the National Barn Dance. Dolph Hewitt, along with his buddies, the Sage Riot, for a special visit all their own. All yours, Dolph. Well, thank you, Bob Atcher. And I'll tell you, I feel a little bit like walking up the gangplank to a ship and got up to the end of it, and there's no ship there. I don't quite know where to go here. Somebody said we're gonna have a vacation here, but nobody has told me just quite how long. Well, I think I'll do like Maggie said to Bob. She said this before the barn dance said. Now, Bob, get in there and pitch and let your hair down. And what did we start out with, fellers? You got anything particular you'd like to hear? Don't let the stars get in there. You like that one. You've seen that written down there, didn't you? Let the stars get in your eyes.

[Bob Atcher]

Don't let the moon break your heart. Love blooms at night. In daylight it dies.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Don't let the stars get in your eyes. They'll keep your heart from me for someday I return. You know you're the only one I'll ever love.

[Bob Atcher]

Too many night.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Too many stars Too many moons could change your mind if I'm gone too long. Don't forget where you belong. When the stars come out Remember you are mine. Don't let the stars get in your eyes.

[Bob Atcher]

Don't let the moon break your Heart love looms of good night. In the light it dies.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Don't let the star get in your eyes. Don't keep your heart for me.

[Bob Atcher]

For someday I return.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

You know you're the only one I'll ever love. You're the only one.

[Bob Atcher]

I ever love.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Don't let the stars get in your eyes. Well, by golly, fellas have to watch me like a hawk on that one, don't you? When I find a good note, I hang on to it a while. Don't matter much about the bars or, you know, or the meter of the thing. That meant very little to me when I learned to play and sing way back in them hills of Pennsylvania. The bars were something that you put up to keep the cow in. That's. You know, we just had our elections around here and a fellow come over to see Toby. Toby says, I wouldn't vote for you if you were St. Peter himself. And the candidate said, well, if I were Saint Peter, you. You couldn't vote for me because I wouldn't be in your jurisdiction. One thing sure, Toby. Then politicians will never get in your hair, will they? That's for sure. I haven't got any. Yeah, neither have I. I'm getting little bit. Well, a little bit kind of a circle there, you know. Let's see. Here's a trio that the sons of pioneers did and did way better than we do. So I don't know why we should do this, do you? But anyhow, the tune that we enjoy an awful lot. Hope you folks enjoy it out there, too. It's called I Still do.

[Bob Atcher]

Darling.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Many happy years have passed away since you and I were tiny little boy and girl Playing neath the summer sky.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Yeah. Oh, that was wonderful, Grace.

[Bob Atcher]

I was telling Johnny Frigo and rehearsing this evening. I said, I think I ought to sing that old Bacon song. You know what? I sang it on the very first barn dance, and I'll be singing it on the very last one. And he said, that'd make nice bookends, long bookends.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Oh, thank goodness. With the sense of humor that runs loose in this old gang. Right now, it's time for Si Burton to come to the microphone. Hi, Si. Say, Bob, you know Johnny frigo, oh, about 30 minutes ago, sat down and he knocked out an arrangement on. I think it's very good. It just goes to show the versatility of our people. Well, we'll sure listen to it. Sigh and you sing it. Just as I love her Just say I love her I should say Just say I love her I've loved her from the star and tell her how I'm yearning to say what's in my heart Just say I need her.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

And many, many more of them. Lee Morgan, it's gonna be kind of.

[Bob Atcher]

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Well, I'll tell you. Maybe we can get the lump to join the union. And everything will be all right.

[Bob Atcher]

Can I say a little bit of something about this number?

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

I'm gonna say yes, you do that.

[Bob Atcher]

Well, you know, this has always been my dream to be on the National Barn Dance ever since I was a kid. And this number that Patsy Montana sang at the. In the days back then, you know, know was. I want to be a cowboy, sweetheart and I kind of like to do it right now for you.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Wonderful.

[Bob Atcher]

I want to be a cowboy, sweetheart Want to learn to rope and to ride Want to ride o' er the plains and the desert out west of the Great Divide I want to hear the coyotes whining when the sun sinks in in the west I want to be a cowboy, sweetheart that's a life that I love the best I want to be a cowboy, sweetheart Want to learn to rope and to ride I want to ride all the planes and the desert Desert out west of the Great Divide I want to hear the coyotes whining when the sun sinks in the West I want to be a cowboy, sweetheart that's a life that all of the best.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Well, thank you very much, Lee. And we're all tickled to death that you listened to Patsy Montana. Back when you were a tiny little girl. Girl. And came to be with us here on the National Barn Dance. At this point, friends, I know many of you who are tuned in tonight. Probably are tuned in for the first time in some time. Because of the fact that you've been reading the papers. And aside from a few comments that have been made. And some of these things that you've seen in the papers, it is true this is our last National Barn Dance in this big, long series. The the Show. As you know was up until tonight. And it will still hold the record for quite a while. Before any other show could catch up to it was the oldest, the longest continuously broadcast program of any kind anywhere in the world. There's a reason for that. It wasn't the oldest show for any reason other than the fact that so many people throughout the nation. Nation love to listen to it. It's you people who have been tuning in Saturday night after Saturday night for some 36 years. Who have made this a great show. And have kept it on the air for so long. You know you've heard it before. I'm sure that a thing is not good because it's old. It's old because it's good. Throughout the years, this show has. Has been personally in front of millions and millions of people. And those millions have said so many times the way they have felt about this particular kind of music. Now, for the same reason that the show has been around for so many years. It will continue not necessarily as the National Barn Dance, not here at wls. But these bright stars that have grown to such high, high glory here on this big old show. Are not going to lose their glimmer. They're going to go right on Grace Wilson, Dolph Hewitt, Lee Morgan, even Maggie, who is brand new here in our old hayloft. All of the boys and girls who have made up this big show for the past 36 years. Are still going somewhere. All that are not with us here tonight. Those stars don't dim. So long as any human soul is living, who remains. The National Barn Dance. This show will live. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find that in a few weeks, possibly you will hear a show made up possibly of some of the boys and girls who are right here tonight. We kind of hope that you'll watch the program listings in your newspapers. Because eventually you're going to see it pop. Pop up either the names of the boys and girls who are here or the name of the show itself. Now, there's something that I would like to say on behalf of WLS and the new management. If you were a publisher of books. You would have a particular kind of book that you were accustomed to putting out. And if your business had grown to the point where you needed more space, more presses and what have you, you'd search around the world till you found one. And at that point you would publish the same kind of book that you had always published. The kind that you knew how to merchandise, how to handle. You knew there are good books. So you're going to continue to publish that kind of book. And due to the fact that you bought a new print press new to you, those presses are going to put out a different kind of book from the kind they have always put out for you. That is your right and your privilege. Just as it is the right of the new management of WLS to program the kind of music and the kind of entertainment that they know is good, they know how to handle. We as boys and girls here in the old hay aloft will eventually find our little niche. And when we do, we hope somehow or other you find us. Because through the years, there has never been a more loyal audience than the listeners to the National Barn Dance. I'd like to ask the kids to just sort of walk up to the microphone here one by one now. And I want the Queen to wait till last, because when she gets here, we want a song. Come on, kids. Here's Tiny Murphy right across the way. Would you like to say so long for a bit? Sure will, Bob. So long, everybody. Thanks very much for listening. Oh, here's the king, Dolph Hewitt. Bob, it's been a pleasure and thank you, each and every one of you. Here's little Maggie.

[Bob Atcher]

You've been wonderful to us and hope we see you soon.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Toby Nix. Thanks a lot, everyone. Thanks very much. Lino Frigo. Thanks, everyone. And here comes Johnny Frigo. He couldn't be very far behind. Thanks for being such a wonderful, faithful audience. Harry Hawthorne. Don't take too long getting up, boys and girls. An honor to be on the show.

[Jerry Golden]

Bob.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Well, thank you, Harry. Leon. Dusty Sands. It's been my pleasure and my ambition to be on the show, and I'm very happy that I was here right up to the end. And here's Davey Pitts. I'd like to say it's been very wonderful being with you and playing for the folks, Pop. And thank you, Zol. Little Percival got in there. Si Burton. Bob, I sure hope by working with the best, a little bit of that has rubbed off on me. Might say that your baby's a year old now and hope just that much wiser. I am going to miss you all and gonna miss being on here. Well, we'll miss you, Si, and we'll also miss the folks. Eddie, Vanna, it's been a privilege being with all of you. And here's Lee Morgan, the birthday gal tonight. What a birthday present, huh, Lee?

[Bob Atcher]

Yes, it is. May God be with all of you until we meet again.

[Program Host / Announcer (possibly Bob Atcher or another main host)]

Mm. Now, let's see. Who have I missed? Well, we asked the Queen to wait until the last because Grace is going to start our our closing now. And this is a little special because even though it is our last program with you as National Barn Day Dance, we're going to close it the same way we have been. Grace, you go to your church and I'll go to mine. But let's walk along together.

[Bob Atcher]

You're right, Bob. And we will. You go to your church and I'll go to mine. But let's walk along together. Our Father has built them side by side so let's walk along together. The road is rough and the whale's long but we'll help each other. You go to your church, I'll go to mine. But let's walk along together.
