 life on the Red Horse Ranch. Since Alabama brought young Dewey Dawson to the Red Horse Ranch, Dewey has slowly but surely won the friendship of all the boys in the outfit as well as that of Rose and Dad Carter. Everyone's been talking about that thrilling horse race between Alabama and Steve Bradford. But tonight the boys are all up on the veranda of the ranch house enjoying a typical night under the western skies. Let's listen to them singing. That wasn't by any chance a serenade was it? Call it whatever you like Rose. We were singing for you. Well wouldn't you like to come in the house boys? It's so dark out here I can hardly see you. Well this is all right for us Rose. Out here on the veranda if it suits you, no use us getting a roof over our heads unless we have to. Well of course it suits me. If you promise me you'll sing some more. You can count on that Rose. Can you see where you're going? Yes I think so. I'll just sit down here on the step with Dewey. That all right with you Dewey? Of course it is. What do you want him to sing for you? Well Dewey I believe I'd like to have him sing the prettiest song they know. What's that? Pony boy? Well that's a good one Dewey but I'll tell you what I'd like to hear. I'll bet you've forgotten that Rose. What? Little mother of the hills. Oh no I haven't. That's a lovely song. Sing it boys. All right. I remembered. Mother always loved that one so much. Rose are you out here? Yes dad over here on the step. Come on out. You kind of deserted your old dad didn't you Rose? Well you really couldn't blame me could you dad with all these handsome cowboys out here and all this beautiful music. What are you glutes trying to do take my gal away from me? They were just singing one of your favorites dad. You should have heard it. Oh I was listening. It was mighty fine boys mighty fine. Well I'll sit down here with Rose and Dewey. Here come on. Where's that dog of yours Dewey? Oh I don't know. I guess he's out chasing some more jack rabbits Mr. Carter. Ain't you scared them jack rabbits leave that pooch of yours up? Of course not. Anyhow Elizabeth can catch jack rabbits better than you can. You stick up for that dog of yours Dewey. He's all right. Yes you're well boys I guess a month ago none of us ever thought we'd be here now. Things are looking a little better than they did Mr. Carter. Yes you're getting the idea that there was oil to be found on this ranch may make us all rich. When do they count on starting to drill for oil dad? Well I guess they'll take a little time. Mr. Niles says they're going to move the drilling equipment on the ranch as soon as they can. Well believe me if they ever do make a strike we're sure going to feel like singing around here. Well you just as well feel like singing right now Cheyenne with the look we've had already. Say boys you haven't sung that song of Bob's lately have you? You know my prairie home in Old New Mexico. Well let's see if we can remember that fellas. Yeah. Wasn't so all fired lazy you'd keep on writing songs like that. Sure I guess you ain't heard some of the songs I wrote. Maybe it's just well we know. Say Rose you're not changing the subject but you've been gone most of the day ain't you? Yes I wrote Prince over to see Sally Higgins today. I imagine she gets kind of lonesome over there just she and I am. Lim Higgins was by here last night. Oh he was? Well he didn't come up see me. Oh he was just passing by. I guess I didn't tell you. Lim heard news that a couple of the old Dawson gang broke out of jail over the roaring river. Is that so? Kind of bad to have those rustling bombings running over the country. We found that out. Yeah but they found out we could do a little shooting. Oh please boys let's not talk about that with Dewey here. Oh of course not Rose. I didn't think. Oh hey Monty. Yeah. As long as you got that squeeze box strapped on your shoulders we might listen to something from you. Picking up thunder. Never heard him bark like that before. I guess Dewey thinks more or less. What do you suppose is the matter? Come here. Why he seems awfully frightened. Come on boys. Dewey wouldn't follow over nothing. That's over there. Come on. Dewey where are you? What's the matter? Why there's somebody else down there. They're riding off now. Dewey you all right? Who tried to get you Dewey? What happened? Them fellas went up and grabbed me when they heard you're coming they ran off. But who were they Dewey? What did they want? I don't know. It was so dark I couldn't see them. Only I guess they knew me though. They said I had to go with them. Only I don't do I. You bet your life you don't. Dewey you better stick mighty close to me from now on. Whatever this is all about. Well what in Tarnation would anybody want with this little fella? All wonder that, Idaho. Perhaps Dewey knows more than he's telling you. Don't miss the next episode of Life on Red Horse Ranch.
