Our way of reminding you that whether you roll your own or smoke a pipe, you'll get more smoke and joy from Prince Albert, the national joyous mo. Well, here we are at the last hitching post of old 1942. Things are looking up all over the world, and that makes us feel mighty good here in the Grand Ole Opry House, where people gather each Saturday night to get back to earth. The Grand Ole Opry House is a big meeting place for those who love folk music. And the latch string is always out to our neighbors throughout the land. And speaking of neighbors, here comes a fellow we'd all like to live next door to. His honor George D. Hay, the solemn old judge. Thank you, Cut and Louis. And howdy, friends and neighbors. Before we start our Prince Albert Grand Ole Opry tonight, I want to take this opportunity for our girls and boys to wish all of you a very prosperous new year. We sincerely believe the world will see much progress during 1943, and we're going to do our best to chip in our 2 cents worth. As cut and Louie has already stated, the Grand Ole Opry is devoted to American folk music. We start our show tonight by introducing Roy Acuff and his Smoky Mountain Boys with little Rachel in a lively Hill tune entitled Living on the Mountain. All right, Roy. Oh, I'm living on the mountain Honey bay honey bay oh, I'm living on the mountain, baby my I'm living on the mountain I'm drinking from the fountain Living on the mountain, honey babe oh, the fountain won't run dry honey babe Honey bay oh, the fountain won't run dry, baby my oh, the fountain won't run dry for it's Coming from on high Fountain won't run dry Honey babe. All this honey in the rock for me all this honey in the rock for me there's honey in the rock Hamming up to feed his flock Honey in the rock for me. Won't you fill your home with me Honey babe? Honey babe Won't you fill your home with me, baby my won't you fill your home with me, me? From your waries you be free Build a home with me, honey yes. Thank you, Ro. That's a fine start on the Prince Albert Grand Ole. Brother Odal, take Pep over in the corner, make him sit down. Friends, here's a fellow with a red, white and blue suit on and a 10 gallon hat. A swashbuckler from Warrior, Alabama, Zeke Clemons, the Dixieodler who will give us a popular number. Very popular. There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere In a distant land so many miles away Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there Where I wish that I could also live someday I'd see Lincoln, Custer Washington and Perry Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly too There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere Waving o' er the land of heroes brave and true in this war with its mad schemes of destruction of our country fair and our sweet liberty by the mad dictators Leaders of corruption can't the US Use a mountain boy like me? God gave me the right to be a free American and for that precious right I'd gladly die There's a Star Spangled Banner waving somewhere that is where I want to go when I die Though I realize I'm crippled that is true, sir Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir Let me help to bring the Axis down a peg if I do some great deed I will be a hero and a hero brave is what I want to be There's a Star Spangled Banner waving Somewhere in that haven There should be a place for me. Mighty pretty, Zeke. Mighty fine. That's swell. The Prince Albert Grand Ole Opry. Rachel, trot out your great big bash for Brother Oswald and hitch him up to the front post there, will you, please? Oswald has picked out a pretty song for us. Tonight's Sing With Rachel. Looks like romance has found him at last. The number is Southern Moon Judgment. Rachel wants to wish everybody a happy New Year. Yeah. All right. Oh, and I see that sun moon I want to crown a lonely tear I want to meet My sweetheart there in the lane yeah the dark and lonely rain don't start the moon Shine down again Blue and lonely lone soul man shine moaning Farther southland Had the best time I have had oh, when I see that sun and moon I want to croon along the tears I want to meet my sweetheart there in the lane in the dark it'll only refrain oh shiny moon shall never again There we go. Oh, when I see that sundered moon I want to crooner I want to meet my sweetheart there in the lane Hear the dark and lonely Frame of sudden moon shine down again There I was standing Nothing worried me the southern moon was shining shining down on me oh, when I see that southern moon I want a crown of lonely I want to meet my sweetheart there in the lane in the dark and lonely rain on southern moon Steamboat moving down the river Stop and wait for me I will help you with your cargo if you ride me free oh, when I see that southern moon I wanna cry on it here I wanna meet my sweetheart there in the lane Here that I could lonely replace my oh, southern moon shine down again yeah, That's cute number, children. Cute number. Say, Judge, you ought to see the store I was in today full of people bringing back Christmas presents. Wrong color, wrong size and what have you I can well imagine must be by now the folks who sell think the expression exchanging Christmas gifts means exchanging them in the store after Christmas. But at least anyone who gave or got Prince Albert smokin tobacco for Christmas is just sittin pretty. And those who didn't get PA for Christmas would sure be starting the new year with a heap of smoke and joy were they to get themselves a handy red pocket package of this choice tasty tobacco that's so much at home in either pipes or papers. That's right, Louie. Put PA in your pipe and it packs just right. Burns cooler and pulls easier and it stays lit. Twirl it up in a Macon cigarette and you're positively surprised at how fast you can roll it. No trick at all to do it in less than 20 seconds and Prince Albert roll. Your owns are plump and smooth and even. So much smoking convenience in PA as well as smoking pleasure. That's because of its crimp cut that makes it lie smooth and even and makes it draw even too when you smoke it keeps it from being wasteful too. But then Prince Albert is economical anyway. That's right. The quality is high, the cost is low, the taste is rich, mild and mellow, no question. But PA is a swell by in rates as the national joy smoke from the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee comes Roy Acuff with his vast store of heart songs, ballads and sacred numbers. Roy is at the top of the top bracket in the old time singing business. Garden of the Arithmetic Boys. And that makes all of us on the Grand Ole Opry feel mighty proud of him. He will sing one of his own compositions tonight. Things that Might have Been. When the sun has gone to sleep so tired and weary Round my heart an empty loneliness creeps in and I die a million times before the morning sunrise When I think of all the things that might have been Perhaps there might have been A garden filled with flowers where sweet nature and the world are all of kin welcome contentness and with peace Are always filling the earth oh, my darling all the things that might have been How I schemed and planned A cozy, cute little love now where we too would always find sweet happiness where the pleasure, comfort Of a home forever within oh, my darling all the things that might have been. Perhaps there might have been A cute little baby with an angel's face smiling chubby fingers 10 and with stubby little toes that always wiggle with glee Darling, darling All the things that might have been maybe, darling, it's for best that we are parting Round my heart and earnest prayer I'll keep within that you'll always find Real happiness Wherever you go I'll find comfort in the things that might have been. Beautiful number, Roy. A beautiful number. It's the Prince Albert. Grand Ole Oprah. Take a bow, Roy. Take a bow. Thank you, friends, for Roy. That's mighty nice. Now, take it easy, boys, and hold on to your hats because here comes that disconcerting gal from Grinder's Switch. A born gossip whom the beauty shops have given up for gone. We give you Minnie Pearl, who will spin a yarn, sing a song and then go into her dance. Come on out here, Minnie Pearl. Howdy. I'm just as proud to be here. I'm just as proud I could come. Well, so I'll tell you first thing before I do anything else. I want to thank all the kind people that sent me all them fine Christmas cards. I just appreciate every one of them. And I want to wish every one of you a happy New Year. Before I go any further, so I won't forget it, because that's the way I feel. I want to wish every feller the very best there is for the New Year. I got a little cold tonight Mammy said before I left home today she's afeared when I got Ready to sing. I wouldn't holler like myself, but I'm gonna do the best I can. I'll tell you. We've been having a time out thar at Grinders this week. It been Christmas and everything. It went over with a bang out thar Lord, every feller got remembered just. And we had such a nice time. Didn't have no trouble to speak of. Ceptin brother. Course he always gets into trouble. Brother, he backed into one of them there little sparkling things. Sister, she was just working one of them little sparkling things. And brother, he backed into it just like brother. Whoo. His coattails just a blazing up. And sir, Mammy, she hollered at me and she says, Minnie Pearl, that there's. My name's Minnie Pearl. She says, Minnie Pearl says, put your brother out. I opened my door and put him out. All is mine, my mammy, but it is all right, it is raining. He got put out. Well, sir, this morning though, brother, he went down to the store. Ovar. At Grinders, the general store we call it. See Jones, he runs it, he went down art of the store and he come back up. He went down after a can of Pa. He come back up the hill just a running fit to kill. Whoop. So excited his hair was standing up and his ears is a standing out more than usual. And he was just excited to all fit to be killed. He says there's a fellow down there had a suit he wanted to sell. He says hit's a good suit and hit's good in war. Well, sir, we's proud of brother taking the interest in clothes. He ain't never cared what he had on just so he's covered up all over from head to foot. We says, well brother, what kind of a suit is it? He says, well, it's good warm suit. We says, does it fit? He says fits just like a glove. Well, Mammy says maybe it'd be better if it fit like a suit. But brother said he's aiming to get it. So we seen he wanted it. So we. He said, we thought maybe there's some feller's going to the army and he's selling off all his clothes. So we says we'll take this here money. I mean, take this. I can't say. Anyway, take this here money and say, go down ARR. And get it. Well, brother, he went down ah. And he come back up the hill a toting a box, just proud as a peacock. We's all so excited. Brother getting a new suit. And sup he got it Up. Ah. And we just couldn't wait Harley, till he unrocked it. He unwrapped that suit. Well, hit us right. Nice suit. I reckon it is nice and warm, but it is the color of it. It is a bright red and it is trimmed with cotton batten. Well, sup, brother? He sure it'll take something like that to brighten brother up? I reckon that's just like brother. Well, I was gonna sing loud. I was gonna sing out there in cold. Ye, you are my sunshine. You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me happy when sky's grave you'll never know dare how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. I'll always love you and make you happy if you will only stay safe. But if you leave me for another you'll regret it all some days. All right, it's going. Mini Pearl. Take them out. Take them all. Okay, the Prince helmet guy in the lap. Get up here. Now put that foolishness. From down in that grand state of Alabama comes the John Daniel quartet, a quartet that really knows how to handle sacred numbers. Tonight, they have one we can well afford to pay attention to. You've got to live your religion. All right, boys. Some people go to church on Sunday and stand up there and shout. And then they go to work on Monday and leave the savior out. They think that they have done their duty and to the Lord to have been true. But find when they reach the judgment that one day religion won't do. You gotta live your religion every day, every day. You gotta live your religion every day, every day. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. You gotta live your religion every day, every day. Oh, when you go to church on Sunday and the pastor played around. Just dig right down into your pocket. Don't shake your head and frown. Don't turn that too and hunt a little penny below. Or you'll find that your penny religion won't take you to the golden shore. You gotta live your religion every day, every day. You gotta live your religion every day, every day. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. You gotta live your religion every day, every day. Now take the case of brother Daniel, who lived long, long ago. They catch him in the den of lions the story you all know. But Daniel lived a true religion and why Jerusalem it pray so the Lord brother Daniel delivered from the den of hungry lions that day. You gotta live your religion every day, every day. You gotta live your religion every day, every day. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. You gotta live your religion every Day, every day. Pretty boys. Mighty, mighty pretty. You know, Louie, the other day I saw an instant sight a most curious collection of pipes. Pipes you smoke? This fellow had pipes of all descriptions. Long and short stems, big in little bowls. Pipes made of wood, made of clay, of bone. Every sort of pipe you can think of. Well, that's all well, might be fun to look at, Judge, but to my mind, a pipe stands only for the day in, day out. Smoking pleasure a man can get out of it. And for smoking pleasure, the very top rank, you have to hand it to Prince Albert in pipes or papers. It's rich, mellow, mild and tasty. Worthy to be called the national joyous smoke. Add to that that it's better packing in pipes and faster rolling in making cigarettes. And that it burns cooler either way you smoke it bite free, easy on a man's tongue. Pennsylvania gives you choice quality. It also gives you generous quantity. While you get to makings for around 70 fine firm. Roll your own cigarettes in every handy pocket package of PA or about 50 even drawing one match burning pipe fulls. So let a man collect pipes if he wants to, but when it comes to smoking wine or smoking roll your owns either he's smart all right when he steps up and asks for good old crimp cut Prince Albert smoking tobacco. Here comes Pap. The Opry's crazy, contrary, conspicuous and corny Constable Pap, straighten out the boys there and get that jug band of yours ready, please. And let's hear that tune. Uncle Eve Scott Coon. Blow her pretty, son. Blow her pretty. Hits my horse up to the lack buckle my banjo to my back buckle slipped in the banjo flew Satan got the buckle in the banjo too. Uncle Leaf's got coon and song got song got song got song got clue and gone on and let me look up trees. Uncle leaves good old man washed his face in his frying pan Combed his hair with a wagon wheel Died with a toothache in his ear. When he from did this world goodbye Went to him to his home on high. Looking up a tree. All right, you go ahead of the class now. We extend a great big welcome to Ford Rush, the Grand Ole Opry's high sheriff, who has just returned from a very successful trip. As head man of the Camel caravan and Prince Albert unit of the Grand Ole Opry, Ford will sing an old favorite of many. Put on your old gray bonnet on the old farmhouse veranda There sat Silas and Miranda thinking of the days gone by. Saddy, dearie, don't be weary, you were always bright and cheery. But a tear dear, dims your eyes, said she. They're tears of gladness, Silas. They're not tears of Sadness. It is 50 years today since we were well. Then the old man's dim eyes brightened his stern old heart. It lightened as he turned to her and said. Put on your old gray bonnet with a blue rib and own it While I hit you to the shade and through the fields of clover we'll drive to Dover on our golden wedding day. Put on your old gray bonnet with a blue ribbon on it While I hit you diving to the shade and through the fields of clover We. We will drive to Dover on our golden wedding day. Nice Ford Rice.
