- Marty Robbins: Hey, Connie, you cute little ol' hon, what are you doin' out here?
- Connie Smith: Hi Marty. I just brought someone over to meet you. This is Colonel Feetlebaum and he's a big movie producer from Hollywood.
- Colonel Feetlebaum: I am? Oh! Yes, I am.
- Webb Pierce: My closing song is a song that I want you to take a listen to it. It goes kinda like this.
- [singing]
- Webb Pierce: Life was so sweet when I first met you, It seemed that I had the world at my command, But now I have visions of a future so blue, Love's something I can't understand...
- Colonel Feetlebaum: You want to see me, JP?
- Studio Boss: Yes, I want to see you, birdbrain. You've been opening that fat gap of your's about opportunity. Well, here it is.
- Colonel Feetlebaum: Yeah! Opportunity. Thanks, boss.
- Studio Boss: I'm having a lot of trouble with that picture down in Nashville. Now, can I trust you to go down there, put the show on the road, and sign-up the talent?
- Colonel Feetlebaum: Certainly, boss. Trust me. Trust me.
- Studio Boss: Now, here's the kind of names we have to have. We have to have guys like Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, Kitty Wells. And don't forget, Faron Young. Oh, I've already got Connie Smith signed. Now, I'll make arrangements for her to meet you at the airport. She'll put you in touch with all the biggest names in country music. You understand that? Now, get on the right airplane, get off at Nashville, and remember, Connie is a girl, not a boy.
- Colonel Feetlebaum: Right now we got - oh! - we got Waylon Jennings ready!
- Waylon Jennings: [singing] Anita, come closer, And close your pretty blue eyes, I guess it's too late now, But somehow you must realize, What we thought was our world, Was only a dream world, And we just can't go on like this, Anita, you're dreaming, Of a world that can never exist...
- Marty Robbins: We've already got this one down pretty well. Let's take one and put it on tape this time.
- [singing]
- Marty Robbins: Taking me for granted was your first mistake, And that was the beginning of my last heartache...
- Don Winters: [singing] Well, I've been herdin' cattle for about a month or more, But now I'm ridin' hard to get back to my baby's door, I'm gonna shave and take a bath and then comb down my hair, And I'll put on sweet smelling stuff that'll fill the air...
- Quinine Gumstump, Buck: [singing] We're gonna get our big break at last it seems, They're gonna put us on the golden screen, We wrote everyone, even our mother, They're gonna show us in Technicolor. We know all men will surely go weak, When they see our magnificent physique, All the girls are gonna jump right up and scream, When we come out upon the golden screen. Ah, eat your heart out Elvis Presley! We're gonna hit the screen just like a storm, The biggest thing in movies since popcorn, They mobbed up theaters just to see us, We's gonna win an Oscar or bust. We will be a pair of matinee idols, Run around with all the stars and models, Other leading men won't know just what hit 'em...
- Webb Pierce: [singing] You put your britches on one leg at a time, And that's the very same way that I do mine...
- Colonel Feetlebaum: Hello, Connie. Who have we got now?
- Connie Smith: Bobby Sykes is ready.
- Colonel Feetlebaum: Bobby Sykes.
- Bobby Sykes: [singing] You treat me like the ground you walk around on, You say our love's not like it was before, And even though you hurt me when it's over, You know that I'll come running back for more...
- Lefty Frizzell: [singing] I love you, I'll prove it to you someday I love you, in my heart you'll always stay, I've been so blue and lonesome all these days, I love you, I'll prove it a thousand ways...
- Faron Young: Yeah! Why not? Yessiree. Welcome to the Faron Young show folks. And right now, I think if we could hurry right along, we got time to do another song called, "I Miss You Already."
- [singing]
- Faron Young: I miss you already, And you're not even gone...
- Quinine Gumstump, Buck: [singing] So, Hollywood, look out, here we come, Just like the Beatles we'll be number one...
- Self (singer): [singing] You say I've lost you to a woman half my age, A lovely young acquaintance that you've made, You say your love for me, you've laid aside, And she's rekindled flames you thought had died. But if your love affair with her goes wrong, And if you miss the love you left at home, Come back and we'll tear out this tarnished page, And we'll forget that woman half my age...
- Colonel Feetlebaum: You mind if I hear you sing?
- Bill Anderson: Well, the guys and I were just havin' a little informal jam session. We'd be glad to have you listen.
- Colonel Feetlebaum: Great!
- Bill Anderson: Guys, let's strike up - let's strike up a little bit of "Po' Folks" here.
- [singing]
- Bill Anderson: There's a whole lotta people lookin' down their noses at me, 'Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family, There was ten of us livin' in a two room shack, On the banks of the river by the railroad track, We kept chickens in a pen in the back and everybody said we was po' folks, My daddy was a farmer but all he ever raised was us...
- Self - Singer: [singing] Would you hold it against me, If I just see him one more time? Just so I can make certain, I can leave him behind...
- Marty Robbins: [singing] I get up every mornin' and start my daily routine, Sweep away old memories, brush away old broken dreams, But, I must carry on 'cause what's left of my future's at stake, I'm not doin' too well workin' my way through a heartache...
- Connie Smith: [singing] Ever since the day you said goodbye, And walked away with someone new, I can't be happy, I just sit and cry, I'll never get over loving you...
- Self (singer): [singing] It's funny how the heart can the rule the mind, And make you forget and lose all track of time, Still the hands of time have a way of moving on, Yet it seemed for just a moment, That you'd never been gone...
- Mother Maybelle Carter, Helen Carter, June Carter Cash, Anita Carter: [singing] I keep a close watch on this heart of mine, I keep my eyes wide open all the time, I keep the ends out for the tie that binds, Because you're mine, I walk the line...
- Hank Snow: [singing] I've been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota, Wichita Falls, Ottawa, Oklahoma, Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma, Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo, Tocopilla, Barranquilla, and Padilla, I'm a killa, I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere...
- Johnny Cash: I'm honored to have such a fine group helpin' me on this song. One of our favorites from an album called, "Ring of Fire," which, incidentally, June wrote, "Ring of Fire." "Where You There When They Crucified My Lord?"
- [singing]
- Johnny Cash: Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
- Helen Carter, Anita Carter, June Carter Cash, Mother Maybelle Carter: Ooo...
- Johnny Cash: Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
- Helen Carter, Anita Carter, June Carter Cash, Mother Maybelle Carter: Ooo...
- Anita Carter: Ah-ooo-oo-ooo, Sometimes it causes me to tremble...
- June Carter Cash: Tremble...
- Helen Carter: Tremble...
- Mother Maybelle Carter: Tremble...
- Johnny Cash: Tremble...
- Johnny Cash, Helen Carter, Anita Carter, June Carter Cash, Mother Maybelle Carter: Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
- Norma Jean: [singing] I wouldn't buy a used car from him, Don't trust the man that's every woman's friend, Those kinds would always get you in the end...
- Bobby Osborne, Sonny Osborne: [singing] Up this hill and down, up this hill again, Up this hill and down, up this hill again, It's a mighty, mighty long road, What ain't got no end
- Bobby Osborne: Well, it's five o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night, It's five o'clock in the morning till twelve o'clock at night, I work so hard to live, I ain't got no life. If a woman doesn't kill you she'll drive you insane, If a woman doesn't kill you she'll drive you insane, Love's about got me down, But I sure do like the pain...
- Johnny Cash: [singing] Singing the traditional ballads, And the folk songs of our
- Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Anita Carter, Helen Carter, Mother Maybelle Carter: Land...
- Johnny Cash: They performed with great virtuosity, And soon they were the rage, But political animosity, Prevailed upon the stage. Because, the one on the right was
- Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Anita Carter, Helen Carter, Mother Maybelle Carter: On the left
- Johnny Cash: And the one in the middle was
- Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Anita Carter, Helen Carter, Mother Maybelle Carter: On the right
- Johnny Cash: And the one on the left was
- Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Anita Carter, Helen Carter, Mother Maybelle Carter: In the middle, And the guy in the rear...
- Johnny Cash: Burned his driver's license...
