Old Time Radio Western Narrator
The Bakers of Weber's Bread present your All Star Western Theater sitting along singing a song under a western moon. From Hollywood comes your all star Western Theater Starving America's great Western singers boy willing and the riders of the purple stage. Our guest today is Columbia Pictures cowboy singing star Kim Curtis. This is Cottonseed park and here are the riders of the purple sage, the rainbows and the far up hills and the rain falls over the rain Hear the cowboys Chippy I O while the do keep bill and low the sun is rising high in the prairie sky There's a rainbow over the rain High the cold There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow lane But a fount of rails is a magic veil that poured in the wind and rain. It's a grand and glorious day and the clouds have rolled away the rain Thunder stills in the far off There's a rainbow over the rain. I've been told there's a father gold at the end of the rainbow lane but upon the trail just a magic veil that pouring the wind and rain and the grand and glorious day and the clouds now rolled away the fame Thunder stills in the far off hills and a rainbow over the rain. In the dive language of today, the vault cowboy is a cowpolk who is on the beam, a puncher who is hip to what's new and solid in whatever he does. In the old days, such a cowboy was merely referred to as a top hand. It just goes to show that it doesn't make much difference what kind of language is used as long as the quality is there. A good cowboy is a good cowboy in any language today. It's the same with Weber's bread. Weber's bread is good bread no matter how you ask your grocer for it. You can tell him you want a loaf of Weber's bread, or you can ask for a loaf of the bread that comes in the famous blue gingham wrapper. He'll know what you mean. And remember, for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Weber's is the bread that adds the extra enjoyment to every meal. Buy A loaf of Weber's bread next time you go shopping. Well, you listeners at the All Star Western Theater are in for a real western treat today. For we're roped and tied one of the screen great new western singing stars to come a calling on you. And we know you'll be mighty happy to join with us. And a big welcome to Ken Curtis and and with him we welcome a return visit from America's great cowboy champion, Marty Montana. And now to our western drama for today entitled the Vouch Cowboy starring Ken Curtis with Monty Montana, Boy Willing, Al Sloy, Jimmy Dean, Johnny Paul, Joe Forte and Helen Gerald. The Bar 4 ranch owned and operated by old Tom Shellgoro. Well, it's just like any other cattle ranch. It has cattle, horses, corrals, stables and everything else that goes to make a well equipped ranch. It has cowhands too. But that's where the hitch comes in. There is such an unusual variety of hired help that it keeps the old man in one sweat after another. For example, there's 4 willing. Give him a guitar, pencil and paper and he'll write songs till the cows come home. He's always making up rhymes. Let's see now. There's Moon, June. Too soon. Nakey room. I should finish this by tomorrow noon. And then there's Marty, who spends most of his time practicing cowboy yell. Then there's Al. He's always telling funny jokes. And then he says to him, who's that lady I saw you eating with? And? And he says, that wasn't old lady I was eating with, that was my knife. And Jimmy is the one that spends every spare moment playing gin rummy with himself. Well, let's see. Lost again. That means I owe myself $112.70. Hey, that's pretty good profit for a loser. Then there's Johnny, does nothing but practice on that fool settlement. But the one that's got everybody's senses in an uproar is Ken. Ken has only been on the ranch a month or two now, but from his actions he no doubt comes from the far, far west. West Glendale. At any rate. Ken is a cowboy cat that latched on to the groovy lingo of the more mellow, roomy advocates of the reeny rooty. In other words, he might be called a vouch cowboy. At the moment, the entire gang of ranch hands has the owner, Tom Kilgore in an uproar. Now look boys, I've had all of this foolishness. I'm going to stand around this ranch. Why, it's disturbing Ah, now, boss, you're just getting yourself all worked up over nothing now. You know, you remind me of a feller who won't walked into a saloon. If you start in another one of those unfunny jokes of yours, I'll pull this chair out. Oh, this is a good no, boss. The feller walks into the saloon, he says, give me a drink. Well, the barkeep stirs him a glass of water in case of it and says, what is this stuff? Well, the barkeep says, that's water. The drunk says, something new, eh? Well, you can take my word for it, it'll never sell. It sinks. I wish you guys would be quiet. I'm trying to make up a rhyme and I can't think. Oh, so the poet can't think. What are you writing now? Your last will and testimony and rhyme? Nope. But say, that would be a clever idea. Listen to this. Paul didn't raise no corn last year. Paul raised nothing to sell. Paul didn't raise no beans at all. He was in the city raising or even having lots of pot. No one but a moron would write that. Oh, you ought to be back in the fourth grade of school. Never got that boy in school. That's easy to believe. But I was the only boy in the third grade that you boast. Will you stop playing that infernal fiddle? Oh, boss, let me play just one piece. Yeah, let's have some music, Johnny. Yeah, come on. What can you play besides nothing? Here's a brand new one, boss. It'll be a big hit. Yeah, good for you, Johnny. What's the name of it? It's called out to Got Trouble. Listen. Ah, that's what I call real music. A hillbilly starter. Hi you Gates. What's jumping in the skillet besides gre. Well, howdy K. When you walked in, I was about to enjoy some good music. If you think that square fair is music, then your clock needs wine. And what's wrong with my music? You're out of meters, Peter. Then maybe you could do better. Match Mac. I'm a fiddle and vulture. With musical culture I'm known as the Toscanini of Tennessee. Here, toss me that cigar box with the balin wire and horse hair handle and I'll give the Arkansas traveler a zooty ride on Cloud 13. Here you are, Ken. Now let's have something. One of you catch lights onto that squeeze box there and we'll take off like Sally Rann. Everybody stand back or you might get some of it on you. Sam, Ken, I want to Hand it to you. I've heard fiddle plays in my day, but that was about the best I ever heard in all my life. I usually get a load of my fiddle plane after I've had a few blocks of Sin Thin Charlie Talk sideways. I've had about all this I can stand. I'm going to bed and good night. Good night. You know, the boss must have had some. Ah, he's all right, Mr. Shade Square. He's rusty. Ken, I'm trying to write a new song. Maybe you can help me. Jackson, your eyeballs are now blinking At a songwriter that is nothing short of terrific. What did you ever write? I wrote Stardust by Hoagie Carmichael, Blue Skies by Irving Berlin, San Antonio Rini by Barb Wells. But my newest song is the successor to Cement Mixer Putty Putty by Slim Gill and what do you call it? Pinball Machine Tilty Tilty by Martha Tilty. A mellow little ditty I whipped up in one of my relaxing moments. Someone's at the door. Get it, Johnny. Say, maybe that's Monty. He's running late tonight. Hello, Monty. Come on in. I owe silverware. Come in, Monty. How are you? Hiya, Jackson. What's tripping, Paul? Well, I've been over to Lem Wiggins house learning some new cowboy yells. Look, Monty, I don't dig it. Why all the boomy routine with a cowboy yell? Oh, I don't know. I just like to yell, I guess. Now look, Jackson, that doesn't make sense. You're liable to rip your radar. Come on now, why do you do it? Well, listen, Sam, there's no particular reason. Fair deal, McNeil, but it don't gel. There's got to be a reason for it. When a grown up man is hip to yelling his cotton picking head off. Now look, Ken, some people like to ride horses and some like to play the fiddle. Then there's some like to write poetry. But me, I like to holler that Monty had better come down out of the stratosphere. He's going to drift around up there and stump his toe on an angel. That money's a great boy. Oh, he's sharp as a price set on taxes plan all right. Hey, boys, how about making with the music? That's a good idea, provided you do the singing. Then let's go. Here's a musical cousin to the pickle in the middle with the mustard on top called Rudy Toot Galoot I am Rudy Tootin High Salutin Rudy Toot Galute High Retin Rare and roaring Pair and Ride and rope and shoot the women cry when I ride by But I don't give a hoot I'm a Rudy tootin hypovolutin Rudy toot galootin I tell em I'm their own and then I leave em all alone from sunny San Antone to But hey, I'm a courtin sportin real rip sortin sorter kind of brute Just a Rudy tootin hyper blue Rudy toot galoo for western music, boys, that's as solid as a sick kitten on a warm brick. I mean to say. Hey, did I ever tell you fellers the one about the boy who took his gal out riding his car and the car went out of gas? Don't believe he dead. How's he go? He don't go. You have to push it. Hey, I wonder who that can be. Answer the door, Johnny. It ain't said nothing, boy. Boy, are you swear? Get me a cigar box and I'll cut your hair. Never mind. I'll get it. How do you do? I hope I'm not intrusion. Absolutely not. This is the right place. Come on in. What's your name? My name is Clementine Carruthers. We're your new neighbors and I thought the least I could do would be to drop over and get acquainted. Well, my darling Clementine, come right on in and meet the boys. My home flag. I haven't heard anything like that since I left Georgia. Boys, this is our new neighbor, Ms. Clementine Carruthers. Carruthers. And she wants to get acquainted. This is our Hal. Jimmy. It's Johnny and Ken. I'm right proud to know you gentlemen, but you didn't tell me your name. I'm Willie. I beg your pardon. You'll have to excuse these boys. They're not very hip with the manners for a classy lassie with a slicey sassy like you. I beg your pardon, Clementine, you're fine as wine and I opine I got the time. What do you clare? Here comes Marty. Hey, boys, what's going on here? Marty, this is our new neighbor, Ms. Clementine Carruthers. How do you do, Marty? Hidey ho. Oh, how simply slacker. I haven't had a man phone for me since I left Georgia. Yes, sir. That muddy is about shout Dr. McMutie in person. I don't quite understand, Mr. King. He's in mellow solemn bout. Or Rudy. I've heard of Mickey, meaning Dr. Digney Dinky. I was feeling well, sir. The thing's avocado, honey. I'm just a Lad with scarf learning. I'm so glad for you. Well, boys, I must be moving along. Tomorrow is Monday and I have an enormous watch to put out. Do you mean that you put out a washing on Monday? Every Monday for years. Then tell me, honey, how do you stay so round, so firm, so fully packed? Need I misbehaving, Raven? Well, good night to you all. And when Mr. Montana comes too, say good night to him for me. Whitty up. Now, now, don't rush off, Clementine. Yeah, don't do nothing hasty, Casey. Let's sing her a song, boys. Do you boys sing that? And they're rugged and terrific they're running over with rooty rhythms and they seem to be such nice boys Here's a little song special for you, Clementine. When the bloom is on the stage to most folks there's a spark that lives forever Deep down within their fondest memories Though I have been a rover I have never found any place that I had rather be When I found a. I'm in Texas and the moon went on to say Then I long to be in Texas Baccha Riding on the rain this smell of bacon frying when it's fizzling in my pan Here's a breakfast morning the early morning Drinking coffee from a can Just a riding, rocking, roping, pounding leather all day long Just a swaying, sweating, swearing Listen to a co hen song College reckons and I reckon I would work for anyway Just to be again to be free again when the bloom is on the same wonder Simply wonderful I must run a moon My husband will be worried about me. Her spouse is in the house. Your what? My husband. You must need him sometime. Dear Mr. Baby. What was that? Lightning just struck that cloud I've been riding on. Oh, I'm so terribly so. I hope it doesn't rest well. Goodbye. Boy, oh boy. You know, we get a new neighbor like her and she has to be married. Hey, boys, we better bring Marty around. Yeah. Here, I'll throw this bucket of water on him. He's coming to now. How you feeling, Marty? Everything's old voody, mystooty. Well, what do you know? He's hip, he's bout. Come on, Ken. Leave me that flick. Tick. She went home to her husband, Monty. Oh, that's a shame. And she was so c a r. Hey, Marty, look. I don't latch on. What is c a R? Cute and rugged. Boy, do you act like a square. Get a cigar box and I'll give you a haircut. A blood brother. This is sensational. Hey, hey, boys. Look what I just read in the paper here. I didn't even know you could read. Aw, get on, you din rum again there, man. Look, it says right here. It says benny Dorsey, the famous orchestra leader, is going to give $5,000 the best Western song. Let me see that. Well, what do you know about that? This is for us. Let me see that paper here. Five grand. What a mess of letter. Well, come on, boys, let's get busy. Oh, I'd rather play gin running myself. I can make more money. Oh, I'm going to send in gags to the joke editors and make my pile that way. What are you going to do, Marty? Just holler, that's all. And that leaves it to us, boy. Then let's get a good night's sleep and start writing the first thing in the morning. Solid, Sam. But for a good night, let's sing one of those mellow little lullabies like Yip Yip Dahoodie. Now, now, wait a minute, Ken. Why don't you come over onto our side of the corral and sing that grand cowboy song, Cowboy serenade. Then get ready to commence to begin. Hand me that guitar sloy here, you. While I'm rolling my last cigarette Sing that cowboy song I never will forget Yippee k.

And if that don't win the $5,000, nothing will. Let me see. What have you got here? Way down along the Alamo Lived a boy of old San Antonin who used to ride the trail under the hill Start. Are you kidding with this stuff? Well, those are good lyrics. What are you talking about? Look, son, this song is dead. It ain't hip. You're not with it. Benny Dorsey has a swing band. He wants something goofy, loud, roomy. Then start coming up with something. Okay, McVey, now listen to this. Way down along the Alamo Lived a vow Cowboy that's the real hit, Jo. Let's see.
