Start Jamming...
And I'm not telling you no lie when I tell you we've got some guests today that we have been looking forward to having visit with us.
Some of the smoothest, prettiest singing folks that you have ever heard, I promise you.
They record for the RCA Victor Record [G#m] Company, had a lot [N] of real fine records.
Let's get them out here right now.
Jim Edward, Maxine and Bonnie the Brown!
Jim, it's nice to see all of you.
I'm surprised the girl is standing back and letting you talk here.
I know you were telling me a while ago that the girls did most of the talking.
They do.
Once in a while they leave me to think [D#] that I'm the boss.
This is Maxine, Bonnie and Jim.
How have you all been doing?
Fine.
It's a pleasure to be on your show.
Well, thank you.
We've been looking forward to this for a long time.
I wish we had color television.
You all look so pretty in your red dresses.
Singing some pretty songs.
I've got red socks.
[A#] [F#] All right, Porter.
We're going to do [G#] one, [C#] you might say it's an oldie, Scarlet [F#] Ribbons.
[D#m]
[B] [C#] [F#]
[B] [C#]
[B] [F#]
[G#m]
[C#] [F#]
[B] [C#] [D#m]
[F#] All [C#] the stores [F#] were [B] closed and shut.
All [C#] the streets [G#] were dark and [D#m] [C#]
bad.
[F#] [B] In our town, [C#] no [F#] scarlet ribbon.
[B]
[C#] Not one ribbon [G#m] [D#m] for her hair.
[F#] Through [C#] the [F#] door, my heart [B] was aching.
Just [A#m] before [G#] the door [D#m] was [C#] breaking.
[F#]
I [G#m] peeked in [C#] [D#m] and on her bed.
In gay [C#]
[B] profusion [F#] lying there.
I [B] saw [C#] ribbons, [F#] scarlet [B] ribbons.
[C#] Scarlet ribbons [G#m] for [F#] her hair.
If [C#] I live [F#] to be [B] a hundred.
I [C#] will [G#] never wear.
[C#] [F#] [G#m]
Cane goes a mile to [C#] play.
[F#] Scarlet ribbons.
[B] [C#] Scarlet ribbons [B]
for [C#] her [F#] hair.
[B] That [F#]
[N]
is beautiful.
Thank you, [A#] Bonnie.
Thank you.
You all sang the closest harmony I've ever heard.
Believe me.
[D#] Thank you.
We think your [N] trio does too.
Now, you all are great.
We want to have you back in a little while.
That's a beautiful song.
I know that you
Thank you for watching our word from our sponsors.
And thank all of you folks for patronizing the good folks who sponsor country music in the Porter Wagner Show.
Now then, let's welcome back out here the Browns, Jim Edwards and Jim Brown.
You all come back out.
You know, let me get here in the middle of you two gals.
[G#] This don't happen to me too often.
[D#] You all have a wonderful album out.
And it's called Grand Ole Opry Favorites. That's right.
It's one of the few albums that I [N] bought.
Victor used to give me albums, but they didn't give me this one.
I wish we had one of yours in there.
If it sells, maybe we can do a number two.
All right.
What is some of the songs, Jim?
Tell them a few.
Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes, Mommy Please Stay Home with Me.
Great Speckled Bird.
Rumble Boogie.
There's some dandy.
I know there's a whole bunch of them.
And this is the one here that
I bet you all did.
This is one here that you all have done a few times, haven't you?
Yes.
Just quite a few times.
In fact, this was the first record or the first song that we [F#] ever recorded.
I Was Looking Back to See.
[C#] [F#] I was looking back to see if you [B] were looking back to see [F#] if I was looking back to see if [G#] you were looking [C#] back at me.
[F#] You were cute as you could be, standing looking back at me.
And it was plain to see that [C#] I'd enjoy your [F#] company.
One Sunday afternoon as I [B] was riding down the street, [F#] I met a cute little [G#] girl all dressed [C#] up so sweet.
[F#] And waiting she was stacked, I [B] wish I had a Cadillac.
[F#] But who would notice me just to drive this model T?
I was looking back to see if you [B] were looking back to see [F#] if I was looking back to see [G#] if you were looking [C#] back at me.
[F#] You were cute as you could [B] be, standing looking back at me.
[F#] And it was plain to see that [C#] I'd enjoy [F#] your company.
[B]
[F#] [G#] [F#]
[B]
[F#]
Now listen baby, it [B] doesn't matter to [F#] me.
Even in your model T, you're [G#] as cute [C#] as you can be.
[F#] If you'll take me for a ride, [B] I will stay close by your [F#] side.
And I will guarantee we'll [C#] have fun all [F#] night.
I was looking back to see if [B] you were looking back to [F#] see if I was looking back to see if you [G#] were [C#] looking back at me.
[F#] You were cute as you could be, [B] standing looking back at me.
[F#] And it was plain to see that [C#] I'd enjoy your [F#] company.
[N] Thank you, Bonnie.
Jim, thank you all very much.
We really enjoyed it.
Beautiful
