Where Stallions Run - Burt Reynolds

[Sarasdad91]

One of the best songs in the movie and yet the jerks cut it out. You'd think that they'd put on the DVD release, but I guess the thought just evaded their small brains.

[sugarlemonpie]

Thanks so much for this, I have been trying to find this scene! I really wish they would at least put it on the DVD. It is a great song.

[Sarasdad91]

I downloade this movie and put it on DVD and edited this song back in that I took off of telvision. I had to remix it to make it sound profesional. It actually sounds as good as all the other songs in the movie

[QueenKuehn]

I thought I knew the film. I knew their were deleted things but I didn't know their was footage

[jimbob5599]

grinnygog1975 i have the movie the little whorehouse in texas and it does not have the deleted scenes and i wish they come back with the movie again with the deleted scenes and songs

[dollyabba]

were do you get this vidio from?

becaause it isnt on the movie

[Grinnygog1975]

@dollyabba If you look underneath the video, where it lists my name and the number of views, you can click the arrows and a full description of where it came from shows up. Glad you enjoyed it! It's a gorgeous scene.........

[dollylove46]

I really think they should've left this performance and Dolly's A Gamble Either Way. These were two songs that actually gave the characters depth. The movie almost makes it seem like they were just in a sexual relationship, but this song really helped to show that he loved her. & A Gamble kind of showed you how Dolly (Mona) ended up becoming a whore. If they were put in, the movie would be much deeper.

[Grinnygog1975]

@dollylove46 I wonder if "A Gamble Either Way" was filmed? I don't believe it was: I found a list online of a collection a library has of the late director's work. All sorts of stuff is listed, including what appears to be a complete list of the scenes that were filmed for WHOREHOUSE including "Where Stallions Run", also listed as "I Wish I'd Been A Poet". Sure would've been a great scene! I'll have to find that list online again and check for the song.

[dollylove46]

@Grinnygog1975 I don't think it was filmed. She was going to be singing it to one of the newer working girls who was unsure about becoming a whore, & she was explaining how it had happened to her. By the way, thanks so much for uploading this. I hadn't seen it before. I've always liked A Cowboy's Ways though. Dolly must've been determined not to let this song die considering she re-did it four times herself. <3

[illian420]

it's a shame this was cut from the original. It's a nice song. it probably slows down the movie a little but gives his character some depth. I've seen that movie many times on tv, but never saw this scene till now. Thanks for uploading. 

[malp1]

Nice melody and nice performance, but what is it that Dolly Parton has against writing lyrics that actually rhyme? Don't lyrics usually rhyme in country music? I just don't get it.

[JakeR0d31]

Finally Worked!!!

Thanks Again for this song!

[Grinnygog1975]

I'm so glad you got it to work!!! Had me scared there for a minute...got your comment in my email and thought the video had been blocked!!! Hope you enjoyed it - I have hopes that someday the scene will be restored to the film, or at least released as bonus material.

[JakeR0d31]

Does not want to play??? Is it there?

[Sourpiemun]

Grinnygog1975 you noted that Dolly recorded two versions of this song herself. Now she has a third. She has again reworked the lyrics for the song "Try" which she performed at the University of Tennessee College of Arts & Sciences Class of 2009. Dolly is amazing; she can take one tune and get four songs out of it. Thanks for posting this. The last time I saw it on television was nearly ten years ago when USA ran it as a Dolly Double feature with "A Smoky Mountain Christmas."

[imolaredm3]

@Sourpiemun Actually 4 versions. "Burning" from Straight Talk, has the same melody.

[78kljk]

I still love you, Abigail.

[kitkat170394]

so much emotion when he calls

Mona(Dolly) a whore, real tears were there it made me cry, i love Dolly forever

[Noxtek]

I wouldn't count on it being re-added to the blu-ray release or any other release any time soon. It's my understanding that Burt insisted the scene be cut from all future prints and releases.

[G4MOF]

Thank you for this post

[sunshinelovin1700]

I cant believe u have this!!!!!! My ma recorded this off tv years ago and ive loved the whorehouse since i was a kid lol i know i shouldnt have been really watchin it but i loved the dancing and music. My husband bought a copy of this on dvd and iwas like oh ur just gonna love burt;s solo yeah it nvr happened so researched it and ended up here!!!!! i think its amazing u posted this thank you.

[Grinnygog1975]

I am SOOOO glad you remembered it and found it! Now you can enjoy it whenever you want - just wish it was in the film where it belongs (in widescreen clarity & stereo sound!). Let's hope it makes it onto the Blu-ray.

[tragedyman]

This would have added some much needed depth to the film. I love Whorehouse but this song would have really added weight and maturity to the plot. Burt's not Sinatra, but it works. And the cinematography is lovely, Shame this is not on the DVD.

[Grinnygog1975]

Can you imagine how gorgeous this scene would be in full widescreen digital clarity?!?! A few snippets, especially the long shot of Burt walking across the fields as shadows of clouds pass by him, were left in the film where this scene was cut. After watching the DVD I wanna see this restored that much more! I totally agree with your thoughts on the plot - this ONE scene adds so much to Ed Earl's character and his relationship with Mona.

[Grinnygog1975]

Let's PRAY that the scene will be restored (or at least included as bonus) when the film is released in HD on Blu-ray. Maybe we should start a campaign NOW before the film is even slated for release!

[2006brad]

I agree with the other posting. I've looked soooo long for this version and can't find it. They were dumb for cutting it. It is a nice nice song. Thanks for posting it.

[GregMichaelPasqua]

It's a good song, so was "A Gamble Either Way" A song Dolly wrote to sing to Shy (a new "working girl") but the scene and song were cut. the song appears on Dolly's album "Burlap and Satin" as does Burt's song re-titled "A Cowboys Ways" and sung by Dolly - she blows it away!

[Pallindrom27]

I could just hear Elvis singing this.

Burt Reynolds is one of my all time faves. Ever since watching "W.W. & The Dixie Dance Kings" as a child(It's a film that NOBODY seems to have heard of and that seems to have ceased to exist, making me wonder if I AM in The Twilight Zone! LoL) I've enjoyed his easygoing everyman quality and charm. I think that that oft used cliche is TRUE with him that "Women want him and men want to be him".Elvis and Burt were PERFECT representatives for the South.

[chinook40]

Adding another "thank you" to all of the others. When I saw the DVD of BLWIT, I was so disappointed not to see this clip; thru all of the years since the movie came out, I remembered this as the high point of the movie. (I threw away my DVD!) I wish that Burt Reynolds had released more albums, but thankx to you, I will be able to see this video. Thank you once again.

[slightlymad22]

reminds me of something that would of fit on his album Ask Me What I Am

[slightlymad22]

I must have watched this 10 times since yesterday (When I found it) and am so grateful to you for posting it...I'm a big Burt fan and didn't even know this song exsisted

[Grinnygog1975]

I am so glad you enjoy it!!! I have loved this song for YEARS and get so mad that it's never been restored and put on DVD. Dolly wrote a beautiful song and as much as I love Dolly, her various incarnations of the song are NOTHING compared to the original she wrote for Burt! He should be really proud of the song.

[slightlymad22]

thanks

[runswithscissors86]

Thank you so much for posting this!!  I have always loved this song and *never* understood why they had to cut it - surely there was something else in the movie they could have cut! Anyhow, it's favorited now and I can watch it as much as I want...thanks again!

[ytudon]

Thank you for sharing this video. I saw this before it was cut from the film. I have looked for it for years and could not find it. It is indeed beautiful. The music and lyrics show just how talented Dolly is and it shows a different and wonderful side of Burt. Thanks again. Donna

[RecordWarped]

Thanks for the upload, Grinnygog1975! I love this movie and this song. I wish it had stayed in the film.

[Atlant1sR1s1ng]

What a beautiful song, and beautifully acted and sung here, as well. He does it in a way that really suits his voice. I don't know why people here have said he didn't sing it well. I think he gives a fabulous and heartfelt performance. Wonderful to see this after all this time of not knowing it even existed.

[Burt4Ever]

I LOVE THIS! Although I have no idea where you got it, I'm glad you shared it here. This is such a beautiful song...too bad it wasn't left in the movie. (Or an added feature on the DVD.) Burt might not be the best singer, but he can sing to me any time!

[Grinnygog1975]

If you go up to the right next to the video - under the added date, click the (MORE INFO) link and you will get the details on where this footage came from. I am SOOOOO glad there are Burt fans out there finding this here. I'm sure most of his fans don't even know about this song! It is such a pleasure to bring this to the Internet!

[1angel23]

I keep coming back to it. it really is a beautiful song.

[Grinnygog1975]

Yes, I think it is a gorgeous song and I really hope that it will be officially released someday. So many CD's are being REMASTERED and reissued with bonus tracks nowadays. Let's hope that a new WHOREHOUSE soundtrack will be released with this song. And I am praying that when a Blu-ray disc is released of the film - the producers will have the sense to include this and any OTHER footage that was cut. I am so glad you enjoy it! Please keep coming back and watching it again!

[nofaultofmine]

Thanks for this I love the movie and think this should have stayed in the movie in spite of Burt's voice.

[1angel23]

So cool, first time I've seen this. Wish it was included on my DVD.

[imolaredm3]

Oh the song also took on another life in the form of "Try". Dolly wrote it for her Imagination Library, but never recorded it. Mary Haskell recorded it (sort of butchered it though..hehe). But it shows Dolly's writing versatility.

[imolaredm3]

She is so underrated, but I think her finest day as a composer is coming soon with the Broadway-headed, 9-to-5, The Musical, as she has 20 songs (19 of them brand new) she has written. Go for the Tony, Dolly!

[imolaredm3]

She recorded it under the same orchestration as "A Cowboy's Ways", and then reworked it and recorded it as "God Won't Get You" for the movie Rhinestone. And then she reworked it again, and recorded it as "Burning" (in Pop form), for the movie Straight Talk.

[imolaredm3]

Great! It's too bad that this did not make the feature film cut. Not that I like Burt's singing, it's more Dolly's songwriting that should have been noticed. What an amazing score. Listen to the orchestration. This coming for Dolly? You bet! This song has taken on many forms for Dolly. She probably knew that this could have been one of her big compositions.

[kvncttn]

Thank you so much for this! I had this on tape years and years ago. I never understood why this was cut from the movie.
