Eddie Hill (3:16)

And it ain't no joke It's a.

Grandpa Jones (3:19)

Shame the way she keeps a good.

Eddie Hill (3:21)

Man broke I got the brave trainers Loudy, Loudy, Loudy Got him in the.

Grandpa Jones (3:29)

Bottom of a.

Duke of Paducah (3:34)

Oh.

Eddie Hill (3:35)

When the whistle blows they got to.

Red Foley (3:37)

Go Whoa Ly I guess I'm never.

Eddie Hill (3:41)

Going to lose the Fred game. Thanks a lot to you, friends. Thank you. And a big hello to all my good friends and neighbors at Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco's grand Old Opry. Golly, we've been busier in a cow's tail at fly time this week getting our show together. And for all you folks here in the Opry house and out there on the air, let me tell you, this is gonna be a big night. Is that right, gang?

Red Foley (4:15)

Yeah.

Eddie Hill (4:17)

Well, let's get things going here with a good old fashioned breakdown. Something like wake up Susan.

Duke of Paducah (4:22)

Here we go.

Eddie Hill (4:27)

Everybody get into the party like food infinite. Sit down, grab your horn and go round and round. Elbow lock, calico hops with you gals for husky block red the cage, circle three, Bird hopped out, crow hopped in forehands and gone kind of short and sweet. Yes. Well, Cousin Louis, Buck's been sitting back over there, not saying anything but just listening. You got something you'd like to say, Cousin Louie?

Louis Buck (5:13)

My cousin Ed is a different man since he's taken to smoking a pipe. He's gotten real cheerful since now he enjoys that tobacco so rich and so ripe. And I've noticed the ladies all look at him twice since that pipe in his mouth makes him look extra nice. Yes, the ladies call it pipe appeal. That's the attractive masculine look smoking a pipe gives a man. But the men call it pipe appeal when their pipes are packed with Prince Albert smoking tobacco. If you're not a Prince Albert smoker now, just try Pa in your pipe and see if you don't wholeheartedly agree. For what could be more appealing in a pipe than Prince Albert's rich full flavor combined with cool tongue, Easy mildness? That's a combination Prince Albert gives you because it's ripe. Mild tobacco is specially treated to ensure against tongue bite. And Prince Albert is the choice of knowing pipe smokers for another reason. It's crimp cut to pack right in a pipe and burn slow and even Mr. Smoker, give your pipe pipe appeal with Prince Albert. See why more pipes smoke Prince Albert than any other tobacco.

Red Foley (6:18)

So fill your pipe up with Pa and take a puff or two. You'll get that extra smoke and joy Prince Albert offers you.

Eddie Hill (6:32)

Claude Sharp and the Old Hickory Singers have been meeting at Claude's house every night for the past week. And that means something special is coming up from Forum this evening. So let's listen as the boys put their heads together on that great old song called Listen to the Mockingbird.

Red Foley (6:48)

I'm dreaming now of honey, sweet honey, sweet honey I'm dreaming now of Hattie. For the thought of her is one that never dies. She's sleeping in the valley the Valley, the valley she's sleeping in the valley and the mockingbird is singing where she lies Listen to the mockingbird Mr. The mockingbird the mockingbird is singing o'er her grave Mr. The mockingbird Mr. The mockingb still singing where the weeping willows wake O will I yet remember Remember Remember Ah, well, I yet remember when we gathered in the cotton Side by side Was in the mile September September September Was in the mile September and the mockingbird was singing for far and wide Listen to the mockingbird Listen to the mockingbird the mockingbird Is singing o'er her grave Listen to the mockingbird Listen to the mockingbird still singing where the weeping willows wave.

Eddie Hill (8:21)

Wednesday. Say that practically everybody has had a used car. And here's the man who has the car that practically everybody has used. It's Prince Albert's Prince of Goodfellas, the Duke of Paducah.

Duke of Paducah (8:41)

Well, Red, you hit the jerk pot that time. I mean, jackpot. I've got a car that's so old, you can't even see out the front of it. Ivy has grown all down over the windshield. That car is so old. Well, right across the front it says Lincoln. Vote for Lincoln. Honest, that car ain't nothing but just a tin nightmare. It's a rhapsody and junk. The wheels ain't nothing but rubber pallbearers. I'm telling you, that car is so old and sickly, every time I spin the crank, the headlights change places. Yesterday, I was driving along in a heavy traffic jam. No chairs, no worries, no fenders. You know, I was just. I was driving along and I heard my wife's drinking brother, Willie. I haven't heard him quite a while, and I heard him say, why don't you trade this bunch of junk in on a new model? I said, willie, I can't see you. Where are you talking from? He said, I'm back here in a rumble seat. I said, why, this old car ain't got no rumble seat. He said, no wonder the seat of my pants is erasing that white line in the middle of the highway. You know, I said to my wife's brother, Willie, what do you think is the worst trouble on the highway today? He said, drunken driver. I said, you mean alcohol and gasoline don't mix? He said, oh, they mix, all right, but, boy, they sure leave a bad taste in my mouth. Yesterday, me and my wife looked at a new car, and the salesman pointed to the hood on that car and he said, under that hood, there's 120 horsepower. I said, that's just the trouble with it, mister, I said you put 120 horses in an automobile motor. You put a jackass behind a wheel. No wonder the pedestrian leads a dog's life. Showing a lot of pedestrians here tonight. I wish you could have seen the hood on that car. Oh, that was the longest hood ever I seen. I'm telling you, that hood was so long, I had to send my wife ahead with a lantern to see the color of the traffic light. It's a fact. If I. You know, this new car had everything. It's modern. It had the most wonderful silencer on it. A silencer? It was a gadget. You oughta seen it. It eliminated every bit of the noise. You know, it was a thing that fit right down over your wife's mouth. I thought we ought to have some husbands out there someplace tonight. You never saw so many. It had everything that was modern on there. It had buttons all over it, you know, I pushed one button and the motor started, you know, and I pushed another button and the radio started talking and I pushed the third button and my wife started yelling. How did I know she was sitting on a hot wire with a short circuit? Have you seen the new cars? You know, some of these new cars ain't got no clutch. Of course, the girls don't mind that as long as the fellow that's driving has. But did you? I bet a lot of you folks here tonight didn't know this. Married women drive a lot slower than married men. That's because women will go to all kinds of trouble to keep under 30. You know, my wife drives the old car we've got now. There's a lot of other things wrong with it, too. That woman drives like she was milking a cow. She drives a car like she's milking a cow. When she gets in a traffic jam, she gets so excited she don't know whether to grab this, that or the other. The trouble with my wife as a car driver is she's scared of her own shadow. After taking a look at what throws that shadow, I can't say that I blame her. I bet you thought I was going to say it tonight, didn't you? You know, I was reading and I was reading in the paper the other day where the trouble with most women drivers are they're too self conscious. That ain't what's wrong with my wife as a woman driver. She's too unconscious. I gotta go to the wagon, folks. These shoes are killing me.

Eddie Hill (13:12)

Grandpa Jones was combing his mustache the other night and out fell a copy Of I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes he thought you might want to hear it and here he is to sing it for you.

Unknown Singer (13:22)

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes we're sailing far over the seas oh, I'm thinking tonight of her own bed and I wonder if she ever thinks of me like the birds that go out in the springtime Just to wander for pleasure alone While the sunshine is smiling up but someday they return to their home when the pleasures of life cease to call you and you're done with your wine and your song Then come back to your home in the mountain to the girl who's been waiting so long oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes we're sailing far over the sea oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes I wonder if she ever thinks of me.

Louis Buck (14:30)

Well, I see the Duke of Paduka is sporting a new medal tonight.

Duke of Paducah (14:33)

That's for getting the best of the meanest dog on Lonesome Ridge.

Louis Buck (14:37)

How'd it happen to?

Duke of Paducah (14:38)

Well, last week I was walking across a pasture minding my own business when a terrible big dog about a 300 pounder he was Louie. He come a bounding at me, a growling like thunder.

Louis Buck (14:48)

Ah, you must have been scared all right.

Eddie Hill (14:50)

Nope.

Duke of Paducah (14:50)

I just waited for that critter and when he left at me, I grabbed him by the throat and lifted him from the ground and just held him there. He couldn't do a thing. And after a while he began to wag his tail kind of sheepish like I could see all the fight was out of him. I seen I had him, so I let him down. Of course, it wouldn't have been anything to brag about if I hadn't done it with only one hand.

Louis Buck (15:12)

With one hand?

Duke of Paducah (15:13)

How come I was using the other hand to roll a makin cigarette with Prince Albert Smoking tobacco.

Louis Buck (15:19)

Well, I have a little trouble believing that story somehow. Except the part about rolling the making cigarette with Prince Albert. It is easy as blinking to roll your own with Prince Albert. For this very special reason. Prince Albert is crimp cut. It doesn't blow around. Instead it clings to the paper and almost rolls itself into a smooth, firm, even burning cigarettes. Of course, that's only part of the story about Prince Albert. There's rich ripe flavor and cool mildness too to make a Prince Albert cigarette specially tasty and enjoyable from first puff to last. Yes, for extra easy rolling and extra good tasting. Roll your own with Prince Albert. The national joy smoke.

Red Foley (15:59)

So roll your own with good PA and take a pup or two, you'll get that extra smoke and joy Prince Albert offers you.

Eddie Hill (16:15)

Not so long ago I sang a song down here at the Opry, just sort of warming up before we went on the air. Well, sir, it took on so well that I thought I'd include it on tonight's broadcast. It's called Many Tears Ago.

Grandpa Jones (16:30)

Many tears ago you said you loved me oh, how happy was this heart of mine. Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere and the sun went down no more to shine. Many tears ago I learned to well.

Duke of Paducah (17:00)

Love.

Grandpa Jones (17:03)

What it means to bear a heavy load. I found out just what is meant by sorrow. Many tears ago along the road Many tears ago. Twas in the springtime when you said goodbye and went away oh, how well this aching heart remembers Many, many tears ago today. Thank you.

Eddie Hill (18:00)

Thank. Thank you very much. Well, our gospel grinder switch heard she was going to a housewarming. So she showed up with a lip match and a paid up fire insurance policy. Here she is, Prince Albert's girl reporter cousin Minnie Pearl.

Red Foley (18:22)

Howdy.

Minnie Pearl (18:25)

I'm just proud to be here. Well, see, here it is income tax day 1947 and I still ain't filled out my form. I got the same figure I had income Tax Day 1946. Well, sir, I've been too busy to worry about that. Though this week we had a big house warming down at Griner Suites. Uni Butterscut and his old lady moved into one of them pre barricaded houses. Well, sir, Uni wasn't too happy about it because he put it together hisself. And after he done put it together, he had the man come down and look at him. And the man said, mister, you put that house together upside down. And Uni said, well, maybe that's why my old lady keeps falling off the front porch. Just like the old ever housewarming. Oh, everybody's worrying about what to take them answered Bessie didn't know. Most of us figured that we ought to take em something to warm up the house. Uncle Nabob said I couldn't afford no stove, but I brung over Grandpappy Simpkins. He's got a temperature of 105. That brother, that brother of mine, he was there and long about towards the shank of the evening. Well, brother decided if it is going to be a successful housewarming, he'd better warm things up quick. So playful like, he tossed a 10 gallon can of turpentine into the new warm morning heater. We don't know if the heater was badly damaged or not, it ain't came down yet. As for brother, Mammy says she hopes he'll be down in time for spring plowing. Well, sir, we played kissing games at the house. For me? Oh, I'll tell you right now, I like to play kissing. Well, sis?

Red Foley (20:22)

Well, I did.

Minnie Pearl (20:25)

Well, you know, at first I acted sort of shy and bashful, like I wanted to be coaxed. I did. Finally I said, I can't kiss strange men. I just can't kiss strange men. And Elviro Beery says, why many pearls? What do you mean you can't kiss strange men? I said, I know. I've tried. Well, sir, though I'll tell you one thing now. People that don't believe in anything in the world and lovers of the unbelievable believable. I can't say that word. I'm. Well, start. Oh, well. Anyway, people will be interested to know I turned down my boyfriend Hazy for a date last week. I did. I just told him. I said, hezzy, I'm sorry I can't go, but we're giving one of my girlfriends a shower tonight. He got some mad. He said, what's the idea of giving her a shower on a Wednesday night? Why can't she wait and take a bath on Saturday night just like every feller? Out. Bye now.

Red Foley (21:29)

See you next.

Eddie Hill (21:37)

Precious memories. Unseen angels sent from somewhere to my soul. How they linger ever near me and the sacred past unfold. Precious memories, how they linger. How they ever flood my soul in the stillness of the midnight. Precious sacred scenes unfold. Precious father, loving mother fly across the lonely years and old home Scenes of my childhood in bond memory appear.
