Is the guy next to Tex Old Mose from the movie "The Searchers" with John Wayne?

When we arrived in the U.S. in 1945, we spent a month in a rundown motel in Lindsay, California. My Dad, who had recently completed a three-year contract as a mining engineer in Chile, soon found work as a city engineer in his home town of Exeter, 10 miles away. While we stayed at the motel, someone gave me a 78 RPM LP record of a song called “Blood on the Saddle.” It was music that no three-year-old should be exposed to. When my mother realized what the words were, she hastily threw it away. It was a comic country-western ditty with deliberately gruesome lyrics, delivered in lugubriously dragged-out tones by Tex Ritter. You can hear him sing it or watch him perform it in the 1937 film, Hittin’ the Trail. There was blood on the saddle And blood all around And a great big puddle Of blood on the ground A cowboy lay in it All covered with gore And he never will ride Any broncos no more Oh, pity the cowboy All bloody and red For the bronco fell on him And bashed in his head My mother had a sure instinct that told her it wasn’t suitable fare for her baby boy. No doubt Mom knew what she was up to. Toddlers or grown-ups, there’s a built-in instinct that tells us it’s a really bad idea to allow just any old influences to enter our consciousness. Of course, now that I'm bumping up against 82 I think it's the funniest thing ever - almost as ridiculously hilarious as "Canyons of Your Mind" by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band with Vivian Stanshall. ruclips.net/video/aD9Lfyg2l6E/видео.htmlsi=3-2Y_5lNleNlvhIL

Tax good singing

muito bom

Thank you so much for this song and video. I only discovered Sunset about 2 months ago. I grew up with Gene and Roy. I LOVE Sunsets theme song. His movies are so good. We need Hero's for the kids of today that truly show honor and courage. So grateful I had good role models when I was growing up. We NEED real men models for all the struggling kids today.

Allen lane always was a great leading hero in serials.

This song says it all about my younger days as a boy when these incredibel pictures were shown on Saturdays during a time when everyone went to the movies.

USE TO WATCH SUNSET EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT ON CHANNEL 13 IN NEW YORK BACK IN THE 1970S PILLIGRIM

Glad to see Roy tossed Lassie a bone!

Outstanding. Thank you Joe.

grandes filmes e grandes emoções que não voltam mais parabéns amigo

In the late 40's I saw him sing this in a cowboy movie but I thought he was riding on a horse when he sang it. It was at The Gold theater, Chicago. That was a long time ago.

I remember seeing this in a TV series that Tex did in the 50s/60s

Grandes fueron las emociones que vivi y disfrute de estas emocionantes cowvoyes de los años cincuenta , especialmente de esta serial y que lamentablemente no se han subido los capitulos completos. Quisiera saber como podria obtener toda la serie completa y en idioma español o audio latino . Muchas gracias de antemano.

Notice the scene at 4:01 where Sunset comes through the door. The tip of his Stetson just barely brushes the top of the door frame. Sunset stood about 6' 6^ and so sometimes the door frames had to be adjusted accordingly.

TOOK ME YEARS BUT I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!THANK YOU😘😘😘😘

Thanks for being a friend and hero R.I.P. and save me a seat !!!

The clips of Sunset came from the 1945 Republic picture, Sante Fe Saddlemates. If you look quick, that's Linda (Tiger Woman) Stirling in the dancehall costume. She even did a song in this one. I never knew Bill Anderson had this song out until I saw the TV show. Reminded me of Rex Allen Jr.'s "Where are the heroes?"

love

I watched Gene Autry movies EVERY Sunday morning on TV for years back then. Thanks so much for posting, with all the great photos!!!

When I was little my father would sing this to me before I went to bed I can still recite it to this day!

Hmmm. Why is Gene riding the Cisco Kid's pinto? And Dickie West ! Where's the next section? :)

This is one of my favorite songs from that movie :)

Wow...the voice for a whole TV show? They didn't let anyone else talk?

Ezra!!!!!! What Kevin said. :D The Beverly Hill Billies are favorites of mine!

It's not Ray Whitley -- that's the Beverly Hill BIllies, with Ezra Paulette singing lead and talking with Buck.

Allen Lane was the voice for the tv show Mr. ED

and 4 white sox,lol.

Thats not even a Roan, much less Strawberry. More like a Sorrel with a bold Blaze... c):~)
