I'm an Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande

An old tune by Johnny Mercer. I wanted to play with some Chromakey and this seemed a likely tune to play with. The music is performed by myself and my friend "The Amazing Carl."

The more I hear you sing this song, the more I cry. Your "back up singers and musicans" are benign and cute, and fit the tenor of the song. I love Mercer's imagery of the modern cowboy, riding the range in a Ford V8. Do you have a special attachment to this song, why did you choose it?

@Grafgirl333 I chose it because it popped into my head one day. I thought it would be fun. I had just started playing with green screen video and it was fun.

Hello there, John (jomi) introduced me to your music a while ago and I have been sitting here having a good old look and listen. This one is brilliant as they all are. I hope you are sending your work to the TV channels? Its brilliant!

It's a beautiful song. A classic. You have a good voice, if only you stopped joking around, mocking it!

I love this song. 1st time I ever heard it was when Lucy and Ethel did it on I Love Lucy. You do it very well. Thank you

Ah, the ole classics.  The chief problem with being and old cowhand is some body parts no longer work, and the parts that do work are sore.
