CAN YOU HEAR THOSE PIONEERS?
Recorded by Rex Allen, Jr.
Written by Rex Allen, Jr. and Judy Maude
Note. Rex sings the 1st two verses and chorus in Bb
[C]When I was just a little boy
I [F]learned to call the [C]cows
>From Eddy Arnold singing strong
A-[D]bout the Cattle [G7]Call
And I'll [C]never forget the Pioneer's singing
[F]'See Them Tumbling Down'
Well, I think it's time that [C]we put Western
[G7]Back in the Country [C]sound.
Ev'ry time that I hear Rex
Sing about his 'Arizona Sky'
Or Roy and Dale's; Happy Trails
They always bring a sigh!
My throat gets tight then the tears come
See them tumbling down
But, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the Country sound.
Refrain:
Hear those [F]pi-[E]i-on[F]eers
Singing 'bout cool, clear [C]water
While they're [G7]headin' for the last [C]roundup ...
Yes, I [F]think it's time that [C]we put Western
[G7]Back in the Country [C]sound.
Oh, how I wish that I could be
'Back In The Saddle' with Gene
But days like that I live again
Only in my dreams
And when I hear Tex sing 'High Noon'
My heart comes tumbling down
Well, I think it's time that we put Western
Back in the Country sound.
Refrain:
TAG: Yod-el la- ee-ee.
