Where Stallions Run - Burt Reynolds

Here is the beautiful "Where Stallions Run" deleted scene from the 1982 film THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS. The song was written for Burt Reynolds by Dolly Parton, but unfortunately was cut from the film before it's release. The song did not appear on the soundtrack album either.

Luckily when the movie was shown on network television, due to the adult content, several scenes had to be edited. To bring the movie back to 2 hours, this scene was put back in.

It has been many, many years since the movie was shown on network television, so very few people have seen this. Cable television showings and all video releases of the film have not contained this scene. Unfortunately the DVD did not include this deleted scene either.

Thankfully I held onto my videotape of WHOREHOUSE all these years that I recorded back in the mid 80's. I think the quality is very good considering the 20+ year old VHS EP mode recording. If anyone has a better quality copy - please contact me! I doubt there are more than a handful of copies of this in existence.

The song lived on though.......Dolly reworked the lyrics and released it on her next album BURLAP & SATIN as "A Cowboy's Ways". A few years later she reworked the lyrics yet again - for the film RHINESTONE as "God Won't Get You".

I hope you enjoy this beautifully shot scene and the great song!

@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.........

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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

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

[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
