  • i would be really confused if i were the little kid, to find out yor a stolen indian used as a replacement fo another kid.

  • I really like this record. But I've always seen a definite similarity in melody between this and Rick Nelson's hit "Never Be Anyone Else But You".

  • I used to listen to my Moms old records, when i was a kid. I hadnt heard this in over 30 years. Thank you so very much for posting it...

  • It's funny how time slips by! Thanks for listening!

  • Thanks! What a GREAT Voice!

  • This song was on the first album my mom ever owned! Thanks a million times over for posting it! Im sure I have it in my collections, but it would be so scratchy! Awesome to hear it again!

  • Man that song is awesome!

  • Oh my gosh Joan, been looking for this song so long. Thanku for posting. - Geena.

  • Thanks for sharing! I was just in Willcox, AZ, Rex Allen's territory. Easy to imagine this lifestyle as depicted in the song. noticed it's not on iTUNES...probably not politically correct!

  • Thank you so very much for sharing. Again,thanks !

  • my dad used to sing a version when i was child. it went something like "ook shook mook muskatogeo ook shook moo gee ay mean son don't don't go near the eskimo please do what i say. does anyone know anything about this alt. version?

  • You are referring to a spoof of this song done by Sheb Wooley.

    Where Rex says" My hair was jet black and I was 21 - lots of pretty girls around, but the pale-faced maidens didn't thrill me none around my Cochise County home town" Sheb says:

    I was 17 and my voice was changin' but the girls didn't thrill me none. But I longed to go see and Eskimo on the banks of the old Yukon."

  • Cobain... the song you are looking for is called "Ooga Ooga Mooska"... you can search for at least one posting of it.

  • @CobainKurtD sheb wooly sings itt its called dont go near the eskimos.

  • @chevyjeffgordon yep ook shuuk mook musky tawkio, ook shuuk mooky a, her name was oomshoknee,im sure the spelling aint right but i remember every word lol

  • Thanks for posting this on You Tube. I first heard this when I was a child, and bed-ridden due to a kidney infection. It was the mid 1960s, and I had an AM radio that I listened to. My parents were not country music fans, but while twirling the dials, I heard the song, "Son, Don't Go Near The Indians", and I have been looking for it ever since! It is as good as I remembered. Thanks,again!

  • Your very welcome! Thanks for listening!

  • No, thank you for making an obscure, and formerly hard-to-find song available!

  • i also discovered a lot of songs just the same way. bored and curious id search for something different. i used to listen to this on an album my parents had. wore it out.

  • Thanks for posting this on Youtube. Are you willing to share the wav file or does anyone know where I can find it??? Thanks

  • Your very welcome! (Check your messages).

  • I need an Mp3 of this please... I host an online radio show specializing in old country.

  • Check your messages! Thanks for stopping by!

  • well it was not rex's song from the beginning but instead Shelby Wooley. when Sheb got an actor job it was postponed and Rex recorded and scored with the song.

    Great song thou and Sheb's version "don't go near the eskimos" is a great tune on the same theme!

  • I realy like the text on this song.

    Thanks for put on YOUTUBE

  • Your welcome! Thank you for listening!

  • 5 Stars

    Thanks for posting it.

    I haven't heard this one too often.

  • Thank you for the stars and for listening!

  • This very song was on an old 1/4" tape my late father put together in the 1960s - I was always intrigued by it and wondered what the title and singer was. Thanks for clearing up the mystery (!) and for posting it.

  • this made me LMFAO

  • i actually got to see this performed live at his last performance during rex allen days in wilcox. we still go every year.

  • You wouldn't believe how long I've looked for this. Thanks once again for a job marvelously done.

  • Thank you! With so many songs, some seem to be put on the back burner until someone mentions them again, thanks for the request!
