I love Texas mythology. Grew up on it. Even Davy Crockett became a legendary Texas mythology. Even though he was a REAL person.....But, you know us Texans....LOL!
I still wish someone would just download the whole cartoon. I know its at least 10 minutes long. I use to be able to watch the entire cartoon back in the 80's as a kid. I think we live in a unfair world people!
Wow! I last saw this at the Crown Theater in Pampa, TX in about 1948. The tune just popped into my head and I googled and was delighted to find it. Thank you LazyM. Goes to show you that music sticks when other things don't..
Jim Sexton, you just made me feel young; when you watched this cartoon in '48 I was just one year old. I'll guess you were at least three at the time. Long life to you sir!
Now, Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas Why, he's the Western Superman to say the least He was the roughest, toughest critter, never known to be a quitter 'Cause he never had no fear of man nor beast So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo Once he roped a raging cyclone out of nowhere Then he straddled it and settled down with ease And while that cyclone bucked and flitted Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it And he tamed that ornery wind down to a breeze So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo Now, once there was a drought That spread all over Texas So to sunny Californy he did go And though the gag is kind of corny He brought rain from Californy And that's the way we got the Gulf of Mexico So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo Now, once a band of rustlers stole a herd of cattle But they didn't know the herd they stole was Bill's And when he caught them crooked villains Pecos knocked out all their fillings That's the reason why there's gold them Thar hills So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo Pecos lost his way while traveling on the desert (Water, water, water) It was ninety miles across the burning sand (Water, water, water) He knew he'd never reach the border (Water) If he didn't get some water (Water) So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande While a tribe of painted Indians did a war dance Pecos started shooting up their little game He gave those redskins such a shakeup That they jumped out of their makeup That's how the Painted Desert got it's name So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo While reclining on a cloud high over Texas With his guns, he made the stars evaporate Then Pecos saw them stars declining So he left one brightly shining As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o He's the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
There's also a lost verse: Now one day Pecos found his fav'rite dogie missin' The dogie that was nearest to his heart So then he lassoed all the cattle Clear from Texas to See-attle That's the way the Texas roundup got its start So yippee-i-ay-i-ay, yippee-i-o Fer the toughest critter west of the Alamo!
This was my favorite song as a child. Great memories of dressing up in my cowgirl outfit and singing along with my Dad and his guitar. Thanks for posting
I had this in a small magazine like book with the record in the back. One side narrated the book. The other side played this song. Countless times I'd listen. Fond memories...
@Tancread of Galilee Good old Riders in the Sky! I've enjoyed them for decades. They weren't around in the 1950s when I was a kid watching old westerns but I'm glad they came on the scene later when I was old enough to appreciate the humor.
Sadly he's been spending the last 150 years trying to take death's steed, so he's a little occupied. But I'm sure he'll bring it back as soon as he's done
I wish they were still making Cartoons like this I miss them. Not saying that animation hasn't gone a long way since then just it seems like this style was tucked away and forgotten.
Just saw the edited portion of the American version. I once read a snippet of the original Pecos Bill legend and found no instance of Bill smoking. Walt and his story team probably threw it in so the 40's audience would admire him more.
We've got urban light pollution just about as bad as everywhere else but out in the country the stars are thick and bright. I grew up with the Pecos Bill legend and never heard that story about shooting out the stars - just now saw this cartoon for the first time and I suspect the studio or the songwriter must have made it up.
All historical and scientific inaccuracies aside, (nobody could actually do what Bill did, and Native Americans are neither Indian nor evil) this is a good song.

Prime example of what happens to TV entertainment, over the years, as dramatically oversensitive individuals pick apart every little thing, just because it MIGHT be improper ... Eh. That's the beauty of reruns and uploads on CZcams.
I'm assuming that in order for Disney to have been allowed to make that Superman reference by nicknaming Pecos Bill the Western Superman, they had to get permission from DC or what would later become DC.

From California hilariously enough we actually do get monsoon clouds Also the raising air makes clouds is how clouds work so pretty much the clouds just like grays over the tops of some of the cities and then it drops more near the mountains and it has to load up to rain near the coasts so we only really get rain on the coast like everything 3 or 4 years this is so nostalgia
He gave them redskins such a shakeup that they jumped right out their makeup, thats the way the painted desert got its name 😂 Non-PC cartoons were the best
Mixed reactions to this. Upside: I like the animation, Roy's my favorite yodeler and I liked the Pecos Bill legend when I was a kid. Downside: They omitted the live rattlesnake Bill wore for a bandana and the mountain lion he rode instead of a horse; and the Painted Desert part is racist.

@@dontaylor7315An Amazing long life
Love the history you shared. I first saw it while I was home sick in 6th Grade. I was watching the Disney Channel back in 1989.
Now, Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas
Why, he's the Western Superman to say the least
He was the roughest, toughest critter, never known to be a quitter
'Cause he never had no fear of man nor beast
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo
Once he roped a raging cyclone out of nowhere
Then he straddled it and settled down with ease
And while that cyclone bucked and flitted
Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it
And he tamed that ornery wind down to a breeze
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo
Now, once there was a drought
That spread all over Texas
So to sunny Californy he did go
And though the gag is kind of corny
He brought rain from Californy
And that's the way we got the Gulf of Mexico
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo
Now, once a band of rustlers stole a herd of cattle
But they didn't know the herd they stole was Bill's
And when he caught them crooked villains
Pecos knocked out all their fillings
That's the reason why there's gold them Thar hills
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo
Pecos lost his way while traveling on the desert
(Water, water, water)
It was ninety miles across the burning sand
(Water, water, water)
He knew he'd never reach the border
(Water)
If he didn't get some water
(Water)
So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande
While a tribe of painted Indians did a war dance
Pecos started shooting up their little game
He gave those redskins such a shakeup
That they jumped out of their makeup
That's how the Painted Desert got it's name
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo
While reclining on a cloud high over Texas
With his guns, he made the stars evaporate
Then Pecos saw them stars declining
So he left one brightly shining
As the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He's the toughest critter west of the Alamo
So yippee-i-ay-i-ya, yippee-i-o
He's the emblem of the Lone Star Texas State
😇 Super🦸♀️ musical 🎼
There's also a lost verse:
Now one day Pecos found his fav'rite dogie missin'
The dogie that was nearest to his heart
So then he lassoed all the cattle
Clear from Texas to See-attle
That's the way the Texas roundup got its start
So yippee-i-ay-i-ay, yippee-i-o
Fer the toughest critter west of the Alamo!

Can you by chance send that rain back to California? They need it more than Texas right now.
Haha you beat me to it! But now we’ll gladly give it back to Texas since we’ve been getting too much rain now 😆
Sadly he's been spending the last 150 years trying to take death's steed, so he's a little occupied. But I'm sure he'll bring it back as soon as he's done
No kidding. It's been raining here at Texas for the past three months.

that i've seen that sequence of the tornado taming

He gave them Redskins such a shake-up
That the football team went and changed their name
We have had our failings in the past as we have now, e.g., killing the unborn.
The cyclone scene was removed when edited for television because of the tobacco reference.
