Singing a song under a western moon

From Hollywood comes your all-star western theater Starring America's great western singers, Boy Willing and the writers of The Purple Sage Bringing you the music, the stories, and the spirit of the great open spaces.

And now, the riders of the Purple Sage.

Nowhere to go

and nothing to do, I'm just a happy roving cowboy.

Let me ride that long trail down to the end where the skies are always blue.

Hear my song as I ride along, I'm just a happy roving cowboy.

Hurting the dark clouds out of the sky, keeping the heavens blue.

Thank you.

I ain't got a dime to spend in my time I'm just a happy rovin' cowboy Let me sing my song till they call me home To the land beyond the blue Hear my song as I ride along I'm just a happy rovin' cowboy Hurting the dark clouds out of the sky Keeping the heavens blue

Thank you, friends.

During the past few years, Americans have come to realize the full worth of our folk music as a literature that helps us understand the old days and is real fun.

We, the writers of the Purple Sage, sang one of the most popular of all folk songs in the Republic picture, Under Colorado skies.

And we'd like to do it for you again

now.

The Blue-Tailed Fly.

How slow

if

you'll lead off.

The rest of us will join in on the chorus.

When I was young, I used to wait on Madison.

And hand him the plate Passed down the bottle when he got drunk And

brush

away the blue-tailed fly Jim Crack Corner don't care Jim Crack Corner don't care Jim Crack Corner don't care Master's gone away.

One day he rode around the farm.
