And a great big Southern howdy to all of you from all of us on Prince Albert's Grand Ole Opry. I guess the title of my first song is likely to bring back memories to our fighting men returning from the battlefronts. It's called my old pal of yesterday at twilight when shadows are falling at the close of a long dreary day I fancy I hear a voice calling it's my old pal of yes, today Old pal I'm so blue since you left me Life's been a burden to bear I wonder, old pal, if you miss me I wonder if you still care does your memories to a yesterday and picture two hearts that are loud and gay Won't you come back? For I still love you My old pal of yesterday when whippoorwills call from the wildwood to their mates who have drifted away My heart sadly yearns for my childhood and my old pal of yesterday Old pal, I'm so blue since you left me Life's been a burden to bear I wonder oh how if you miss me I wonder if you still care does your memories stray to yesterday and picture two hearts that are light and gay Won't you come back For I still you My old psy. Thank you, neighbors. Thank you a whole lot. Friends, the first song you're hearing tonight from Prince Albert's Old Hickory Singers is not only one of the most popular when fellers get together for a little singing, but in old time vaudeville days, they used to sing it with gestures. Here it is. Down by the old mill street My darling, I am dreaming of the days gone by when you and I were sweethearts Beneath the summer sky your hair has turned to silver Our goal has faded through but still I will remember Where I first met you down by the o mine Where I first met you with your eyes on you Resting kingdom too it was there I knew that you loved me true you were 16, my village queen mighty old minstream you were 16 or 16, my village thank you, Old Hickory Singers. You don't need me to tell you that the problem of the day is reconversion. Most everybody's busy switching from war to peace. But we have a man here who's going to keep right on thinking about defense as long as he stays married to his big, fat wife. Meet Prince Albert's prince of Goodfellas, the Duke of Paducah. Oh, you're just jealous, that's all. Tonight, I'm going to talk about reconversion. And I mean, you're looking at a man that knows all about reconversion. I mean, I know what it is to change over, because I've changed. Would you believe it that I used to be skinny and ignorant? Yeah, skinny and ignorant. Now look at me. I ain't skinny anymore. Oh, I'm Telling you this reconversion is something we gotta get used to. And we got to give credit to our armed forces and General MacArthur. They did a real job of reconversion on them Japs. You know them Japs used to say okay, now wow. Last Saturday night about this time, they looked up at MacArthur and they said, okay. Ow, wow. Ow, wow. Oh, I'm telling you, some of these companies is a changing over too fast. They're reconversion too fast. Why, there's one company that made dive bombers for the Army Air Force. Now they're making electric irons. And last week my big fat wife bought one of them electric irons and started to press my pants. And the minute she turned on the juice, that iron died right through the seat of them. I tell you, one of my nephews just came back from the army with an honorable discharge and that reconversion got him right off the reel. Yeah, while he's over there in the South Pacific fighting the Japs, a little redhead was his pin up girl. Two weeks ago they got married and things have changed a lot. Now, he used to be pinning her up, brother. Now she's pinning him down. You know, he wanted to get married, Roy, but he didn't want to lose his freedom. So when they marched down the aisle, he was reading his pride, the GI Bill of Rights while the organ played. I love you truly but don't fence me in. Oh, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, everybody is getting fixed up for the post war world. Everybody's fixing up their homes, we're fixing up ours out there. I mean, it's modern. My post war home is going to be out of this world. It's going to be so modern, the lady termites are going to wear sarongs. It's a fact. You know, everything around there is wearing out. We gotta get a new house. Well, last week I had to do a lot of electrical repairs myself out in the cow barn. I fixed the milking machine and the radio. I got them mixed up though. I guess when I plugged them back in, the radio started milking the cow and the milking machine started hollering shoots of juice to me, Bruce, you know, but you die, Roy, I done this. You know, necessity is the mother of invention. That milking machine broke down and we had to do something. And I found out the easiest way to world to milk a cow. Yeah, all you gotta do is find you a cow with the hiccups and just sit there and hold on. They didn't laugh much up in the balcony they couldn't see from there. Oh, I'm telling you, my big fat wife has got a post war job. Yeah. Oh, it's a killer dealer. She can make money world without end. The beauty parlor in our neighborhood does give her a job and she's going to get $10 a day as long as she wants to work. And all she's gotta do is stand out in front of a place with a big sign on her chest that says, don't let this happen to you. You know. Oh, that's the fattest post war mama ever I see. I'm telling you, she worked in the factory all during the war and she made her own coveralls. And yesterday she went in the store, she said, I'm gonna buy a pair of ready made coveralls. The clerk took one look at her and says, lady, for you, I don't know of anybody that makes coveralls big enough to cover all. I'm telling you, her brother's still hanging around there, her drinking brother Willie. I got trouble with them relatives. He's wanting me to buy a new post war washing machine. I said, what's the matter with the old washing machine? He said, I don't know, but every time I get in at the wash, the paddles keep knocking me off my feet. Oh, I'm telling you. And her skinny sister Emma's there. Yeah, she's still there. Yesterday I saw her. I said, what's new? She said, I'm still looking for a man. I said, I know that, but what's new? She said, dookie doo, don't you know anywhere in the world I can get a man? I said, sure, I know one way. But I don't think the government will let you have an atom bomb. Oh, you know, women are progressing, though. I was making a speech at a women's party yesterday, and when I got home, my big fat wife said, what was the women wearing? Did you know it only took me two minutes to tell her what they was wearing? Took me two hours to tell her what they wasn't wearing. Oh, I'm telling you, reconversion's gonna change the automobile on the street and the ship that sail the deep blue sea. But it'll never change the way I yell. I gotta go to the wagon. These shoes are killing me. I don't really know what BlackBerry blossoms got to do with a hoedown fiddle but care. So long as it's the name of the tune being played by Prince Albert's hoedown champion, Tommy Magnus. Show Us? Why, Tommy. Thank you, Tom Magnus. Let's lend an ear now to cousin Louis Bubble men. You know, pipe smoking sure is a pleasure. But it can be powerful punishment too. Unless you're smoking. Prince Albert smoking tobacco. You see, good old Pa is rich he man tobacco without the parch and the sting. But you can bet your best hat there's a reason for this extra portion of pleasure. Prince Albert smoking tobacco is no bite treated. That's why you get full bodied. Flavor with cool tongue, easy mildness. And what's more, Prince Albert is crimp cut. That makes it packed just right in your pipe. Draws easy burns evenly. But don't take my word for it, try Prince Albert for yourself. It's a thrifty buy. There's around 50 rich tasting pipefuls in every handy pocket package. And I'll. I'm sure you'll be glad you tried. Prince Albert smoking tobacco. Fill your pipe with Pa and take a puff or two. You get that extra smoking joy Prince Albert offer. You don't need me to tell you that Rachel and her great big bashful brother Oswald are on stage and ready to sing and play a fine old fashioned ballad. I'm just here to get my baby out of jail. I'm not in your time to stay. Said a lady o'dead warden of a penitentiary. I'm not in your time to stay. But I'll soon be on my way. I'm just here to get my baby out of jail. Yes, warden. I'm just here to get my baby out of jail. I will pawn you my watch. I will pawn you my chain. I'll pawn you my gold almond rain. I will watch all your food. I will trouble you that'll get my baby out again. Yes, War. You know I want my baby out of jail now, please. Boy, that sure do sound good to me. Don't it? Then I heard the woman say to that lady on his bed. I will bring a baby boy to your side. Your arm gates swung wide apart. She held her darling to her heart. She kissed the baby boy. Then she died. But smiling in the arms of her dear boy. There she you are. That was Rachel and Oswald and the Smoky Mountain Boys. Time now to look in on our gossip at Grinder Switch. Tennessee. Cousin Minnie says that when you see what kind of men girls marry nowadays, you realize how they must hate to work for a living. Here she is, Prince Albert's girl reporter, Cousin Minnie Purr. Howdy. I'm just so proud to be here. Well, sir, I'll tell you right now. We've been having trouble with brother's ears here lately. We've been worried about his poor old years. He's got real good ears. He's got one on either side, he has. Roy. Looks like a taxi coming down the street with all the doors open. Well, sir, I was telling you that boy's been having trouble with the sheriff lately. And we took him to the doctor, and the doctor said he'd have to drain them. And he said to brother, he says, what you been doing, going in swimming? Brother said, no, been eating watermelons. I tell you, that's the awfulest boy you ever seen in your life. We can't get no work out of that boy at all. Hardly. You might say he works just about like a crow in a cornfield. Two dabs and a lookup. And speaking of crows, we've been having more trouble with crows. I started out place, I started grinders. Sweet. We best put in a turnip patch. And I'm telling you, them crows about carried off all seeds we got. Brother, he bought him a scarecrow. He made him up one, put it out there. It didn't do no good. So brother got so mad, he said, I'm going after her myself and scare them crows off. You know what them crows done when they saw brother? They brought back corn they stole five year ago. Well, sir, Brother, Brother, he bought him a dog last week. That little old dog's been worrying us to death every day, too. Every time Mammy rings the bell, call the hands in for dinner, that little old dog just yells and hollers and howls and carries on. Brother told him today, said, shut up, you ain't got to eat it. But I'm telling you, that boy, he bought that dog from Adar. That's Ross Dahr's boy up Bart Grinders. Fine feller, too. He bought that little old dog he paid a dollar and a half fer. That's a whole lot to pay for a dog, ain't it? Dog, that's a good dog. Got a leg on each corner. Well, that little old dog probably was gonna. Was gonna learn him a few tricks. So he got all ready and he worked on that little dog and worked, trying to learn him tricks. And little old dog looked like couldn't learn. So brother took him back to Abe. Says, what's the matter of that little old dog? I can't learn him no tricks. And Abe says, well, now, I'll tell you. Trouble is, says the trouble with you is you got to know more than the dog before you can learn him any tricks. Oh, that boy, Brother, I declare. Yesterday he had that little dog out. I went past him, and brother was sitting out there in the yard and he's playing checkers with that dog. He was sure not playing checkers with him. I said, well, brother, that little old dog must be pretty smart if you can sit there and play checkers with him. Brother said, oh, he ain't so smart. I just beat him three games. Yes, and there she goes under full sail and steering straight as she can for the sea of matrimony. Meanwhile, at pie time, we add a little mandolin music. Now Prince Albert's Mac McGarvey plays an old favorite, Honeysuckle Road. It's. Ah, thank you, Matt McGar. Right now I'd like to remind you, friends, that it's the makers of Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco who bring this program to your homes each Saturday night with the help of the Smoky Mountain boys and Rachel. I'd like to sing an old hymn, one that's popular in the many country churches located through the Great Smoky Mountains. Shake hands with Mother if I should be living When Jesus comes and can know the day and the hour I'd like to be standing at Mother's tomb When Jesus comes in his power Will be a wonderful happy day up there on the golden friend When I can hear Jesus my savior say Shake hands with Mother again I'd like to say, Mother, this is your voice. You left when you went away and now, my dear mother, it gives me great joy to see you again today. It will be a wonderful happy day up there on the golden strand When I can hear Jesus my savior say Shake hands with Mother again There'll be no more sorrow or pain to bear in that home beyond the sky O glorious thought when we all get there we never will say goodbye Will be a wonderful happy day up there on the golden strand When I hear Jesus my Savior sing Shake hands with Mother again Thank you, friends. And here's our cousin Louisba. You know, it takes a little experience to get the hang of rolling your own cigarettes quickly. But it doesn't take any time at all to know when you've hit the right tobacco. Yes, sir, I'm talking about Prince Albert smoking tobacco from the very first cigarette you've made yourself with Prince Albert, you'll experience a thrill in smoking pleasure because you get both full, rich flavor and smooth mildness all in one tobacco. When you make your own cigarettes with Prince Albert and say Prince Albert is crimp cut, too, so it shapes up a neat, firm, slow burning Cigarette with practically no trouble at all. And how's this for real economy? There are makings for about 70 rich tasting cigarettes from every handy pocket package of Prince Albert. Next time say Prince Albert. Sure. Oh, fine. Thank you, Smoky Mountain boys. Prince Albert's Old Hickory Singers have picked another old timer for you.

Go long everybody. Even though the war is over, it's important to save every scrap of waste paper you can. The demand for paper is coupled with an extreme shortage of manpower necessary to cut timber for the paper mill. Only the waste paper you save will fill the gap. It'll be some time before the lumberjacks return to the forest in sufficient numbers to cut the wood necessary to meet all paper requirements. Check the waste paper collection days in your community. If bundles are not collected, please get in touch with the local salvage committee or newspapers Prince Albert's Smoking Tobacco's Grand Ole Opry came to you from Nashville, Tennessee.
