Oh my, what pleasure it is to be here.
I can tell you honestly and surely that the people of Nashville love you and Bonanza.
Well, thank you so much.
I think the reason that your show is so popular is for the great deal of honesty and realism that you see in your show.
And that's something that the people still appreciate.
Well, of course the [Eb] situations are honest [Ab] because the old west dealt with people fighting [Eb] against the elements, against nature,
[E] against the turbulent rivers and the mountains and the hot desert and the severe winters and also fighting man [G] against man.
Of course, the stories that we see on [B] television and the movies about [D] people getting shot in the back, stagecoach holdups, [Db] lynchings,
that's only part of it.
You see, [F] those are only about the good times.
Yeah, well, let's tell the people the other side of the story.
All right.
[Fm] [Bbm]
[Eb] I know a place where the [Db] birds sing bass, where the [Ab] rabbits laugh in the hound dog [Eb] space, [Ab] where trains don't stop at our hometown,
[Db] because the [Ab] woodpeckers pecked the depot down.
[Eb] There's where the [Ab] girls grew tall and slim, [Bb] the boys grew whiskers [Eb] on their chins, [Ab] their ears turned out [Db] and their toes turned [Ab] in.
[Bb] Out in those [Eb] western towns,
[Ab] folks didn't stay out very [Eb] late.
Way out [Ab] west in the old days, they took the sidewalks [Eb] and ate.
Way out [Ab] west in the old days, [Eb] they had towns [Ab] so small, I swear [Bb] you could stand right [Eb] on the old town [Ab] square.
And upon every front door [Eb] there, way out west in the old days.
[Ab]
Folks were as honest as could be.
Way out west in the old days, everything done honestly.
[Eb] Way out [Ab] west in the old days, [Eb]
farmer [Ab] by the name of [Bb] Zack said that [Eb] at his chicken [Ab] shack, a box brought 20 chickens [Eb] back.
Way out [Ab] west in the old [Eb] days.
Way out [Ab] west in the old days.
Now, old Ringo rode to a frontier [Eb] town.
Way out [Ab] west in the old days.
He stepped in the bank and he looked all [Eb] around.
Way out [Ab] west in the old days.
[Eb] He pulled his [Ab] gun, he said, stick him up [Bb] hard.
He looked real [Eb] mean, he tried real [Ab] hard.
And all he got was a credit [Eb] card.
Way out [Ab] west in the old [Eb] days.
Way out [Ab] west in the old days.
Now, the meanest ruttler known by [Eb]
all, way out [Ab] west in the old days, was a manger critter called Pickles [Eb] Paul.
Way out [Ab] west in the old days.
[Eb] That ruttler Paul [Ab] sure had the knack, [Bb] but the town was [Eb] shocked when he came [Ab] back with three French poodles and a Siamese [Eb] hat.
Way out [Ab] west in the old days.
[Eb] Way out west [Ab] in the old days.
[Db] [Ab]
[N]
Ah, yeah.
That's a good one.
Go on, work on it, this one.
Thank you very much.
That's great.
Play him here.
Of course, that wasn't the way it really was, you know that, don't you?
Johnny, I can't tell you how delighted I am of the success that you've been having.
There's always something that I wanted to tell you, though.
Your songs have always been very meaningful to me.
They not only tell a story, but they have a social comment, which I dig very much.
Thank you.
I hope we say something worthwhile sometime.
Yes, yes you do.
And keep on saying it.
And if you don't mind, I'd like to steal a page out of the Johnny Cash book.
We've got a spot all set for you.
Mr.
Lorne Green, folks.
