Hoppy Gene and Me

Hoppy Gene and Me - Roy Rogers

It seems like only yesterday that we rode the range together

The prairie skies and tumbleweeds just as far as we could see

Then, you grew up and drifted on, but I know that you remember

When you were a saddle pal to Hoppy, Gene and Me

Freckle faced and skinned up knees

You helped us trap the bad guys

With a five cent bag of popcorn

And a cap gun by your side

You know, time has a way of changin' things

Soon, there was your first love

You thought it would last forever

But when she left, you cried

But Hoppy, Gene and Me

We taught you how to shoot straight

And a cowboy's never cryin'

That's how it had to be

Yes, stories from the silver screen

Now most of them forgotten

Double feature Saturdays

With Hoppy, Gene and Me

At last you found your real true love

And now you look so happy

Is that your little cowpoke,

You're bouncin' on your knee

Well the prairie sky is just as blue

And life's like a rainbow

Just like you, he'll be a saddle pal

To Hoppy, Gene and Me

Hoppy, Gene and Me

We taught you how to shoot straight

You were going to be a cowboy

That's how it had to be

Your stories from the silver screen

Now most of them forgotten

Double feature Saturday's

With Hoppy, Gene and Me
