*  A Gal In Calico
Met a gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;
Used to be her Sunday beau ‘til I rode away.
Do I want her, do I want her love?
Yes siree!
Will I win her, Will I win her love?
Wait and see!
Workin’ with a rodeo, go from town to town.
See most ev’ry kind a gal, ev’ry kind a gown.
But who made my heart sing
Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!
My little gal in calico.

Take my gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;
Guess I’d better let her know that I feel this way.
Is she waitin’, is she waitin’?
She better be.
Am I hopin’ to be ropin’ her?
Yes siree!
Gonna quit the rodeo, gonna settle down,
Buy a bolt of calico for a weddin’ gown.
Then will I fence her in
Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!
My little gal in calico.


*  My Little Lady
I think about my baby
a perfect little lady.
I think about her shiny golden hair.
I've never been a dreamer but every time I see her
I start to float away into the air.
Oh   oh   my little lady.

You can make the sun and moon begin to shine
and if you could have your way every day would be fine.
It's no wonder for as long as I may live

I will give you all the love I am able to give.

I wake up in the morning without a single warning
before I finish yawning she is there.
I think about my baby
a perfect little lady.
I think about her shiny golden hair.
Oh oh my little lady.

You can make the sun ...
You can make the sun ...


*  Empty Saddles

There's something strange in the old corral
There's a breeze, though the wind has died
Though I'm alone in the old corral,
Seems there is someone at my side

CHORUS: Empty saddles in the old corral,
Where do ya ride tonight?
Are ya roundin' up the dogies,
The strays of long ago,
Are ya on the trail of buffalo?
Empty saddles in the old corral,
Where do ya ride tonight?
Are there rustlers on the border,
Or a band of Navajo
Are ya headin' for the Alamo?
Empty guns covered with rust
Where do ya talk tonight?
Empty boots covered with dust
Where do ya walk tonight?
Empty saddles in the old corral,
My tears would be dried tonight
If you'll only say I'm lonely,
As ya carry my old pal
Empty saddles in the old corral

There is no smoke, still the fires burn,
There's no song, still I hear guitars,
There is no dust, still the ghosts return
Softly to vanish thru the bars


*  Linda Lou

Linda Lou, honest true,
I’m just wild about your lovely eyes of blue,
For your smile, I’d walk miles,
For my honey child I’m glad to be with you,

As long as you are by my side 
I have no cause to pine,
I point you out with so much pride,
And tell the world you're mine,
Linda Lou, honest true,
I’m in love with you a-lone sweet Linda Lou.


I’ve waited a long time for you darlin',
But never knew exactly what you’d be,
Now that you have come to me my darlin',
You ‘re a wee bit of heaven to me;


Linda Lou, honest true,
You’re the first in every thought I have to-day,
You’re so sweet, and so neat,
That I thank the LORD for sending you my way,
Some day you’ll know the way I feel
deep down within your heart,
To be with you when shadows steal 
and know we’ll never part,

Linda Lou, honest true,
I’m in love with you alone sweet Linda Lou.
Linda Lou


*  A Four-Legged Friend

Chorus:
A Four Legged Friend 
A Four Legged Friend
He'll Never Let You Down
He's Honest And Faithful Right Up To The End

That Wonderful One Two Three Four Legged Friend
A Woman's Like Cactus And Cactus Can Hurt
'Cause She's Just A Tight Waisted Winky Eyed Flirt

She'll Soon Have Your Land And Your Pride And Your Gold
And Bury You Deep Long Before You Grow Old

A Two Legged Hombre Is Worthless As Sand
He'll Smile Like A Saint With A Gun In His Hand
He'll Promise To Stick By Your Side Like A Pal
But He'll Also Promise The Same To Your Gal

Who Carries Your Burden
Who Carries Your Load
On Tumbleweed Land Or A Long Dusty Road

Who Asks You No Questions Who Tells You No Lies
That Four Legged Friend With The Two Honest Eyes

A Four Legged Friend
A Four Legged Friend

He'll Never Let You Down
He's Honest And Faithful Right Up To The End
That Wonderful Four Legged Friend

That Wonderful One Two Three Four Legged Friend
Whoa Trigger.
A Four Legged Friend


*  Peace In The Valley

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh
yes
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me




*  Money Can't Buy Love

*  Lovenworth 

*  Hoppy, Gene and Me

*  Lord Have Mercy On My Soul


* King Of The Cowboys 

Sung By: Roy Rogers, Jr. (Dusty)

He's rode across your silver screen
For over forty years
He's brought bad men to justice

He's seen laughter, he's seen tears
And I know forever in many hearts, He'll reign
As the KING OF THE COWBOYS

There is honor to his name.
He's a kind and gentle legend
A hero's right to fame
He's taught young folks right from wrong
And he's taught me the very same
And I know forever, in many hearts he'll reign
As the KING OF THE COWBOYS,
there is magic in his name

chorus:
He's The King of The Cowboys a legend in his time
A man who loves his country
Where he will always ride
Saddled up on his golden palomino
A six gun at each side
His spurs and boots and his white hat
Walks a man with a lot of pride

chorus:
He's the King of The Cowboys
A legend in his time
A man who loves his country
Riding off into the sunset
In a western sky of blue
He has given precious memories
And HAPPY TRAILS to me and you!
