Songs from the film "Guns And Guitars" (1936)
Starring Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette & Dorothy Dix
RIDIN' ALL THE DAY
(Gene Autry / Smiley Burnette)
Performed by Gene Autry
And by the fire, before I retire
I play my old guitar
Then on the ground, I lay myself down
Under the millions of stars
Watchin' the moon, hummin' a tune
Another perfect day
Livin' to sing, feel like a king
Smilin' all the day

I'VE GOT RELATIONS
(Smiley Burnette)
Performed by Smiley Burnette
I've got pictures of all my kin
They was a-tookin' way back when
Here's a picture of my Uncle Ben
'Fore they caught him stealn' hens
Here's a picture of my Aunt Sue
She coud swear till the air was blue
Killed five husbands, fed 'em stew
Made out o' mothballs, cheese and glue
Oh, I've got very fine relations
Very fine relations
You can see by lookin' at me
I've got fine relations
This gal here's my Cousin Nance
Never got married, she never had a chance
Strongest gal this side of France
Spends her time crocheting fence
Here's the pay-off, Grandpa Fry
He had a voice way up high
Grandma's voice was my-my-my
When they fought, I thought I'd die
Oh, I've got very fine relations
Very fine relations
You can see by lookin' at me
I've got fine relations

GUNS AND GUITARS
(Gene Autry / Oliver Drake)
Performed by Gene Autry
I'm headin' back to my guns and guitars
>From Old Faithful I'll be parting
On the last round-up I'm starting
I'm headin' back to my guns and guitars
I'll be hearin' cowboys singin'
To the doggies on the plains
Gonna hear the winds a-whistlin'
Feel the sting of prarie rain
I'm headin' back to my guns and guitars
Gonna saddle up my mustang
For that last ride with my old gang
I'm headin' back to my guns and guitars

DREAMY VALLEY
(Oliver Drake / Harry Grey)
Performed by Gene Autry
Somewhere in the West there's a cosy nest
And it's heaven blessed in Dreamy Valley
Music fills the air, love is ev'rywhere
No place can compare with Dreamy Valley
Whippoorwills to call round our cabin small
When the shadows fall on Dreamy Valley
Paradise for two, nothing else will do
When our dreams come true in Dreamy Valley
