Here. Yeller
Come back. Yeller
Best doggone dog in the West
Old Yeller was a mongrel
An ugly lop=eared mongrel
Fancy=free without a family tree
But he could up and do it
And prove there's nothin'to it
And that's how
a good dog should be
Here. Yeller
Come back. Yeller
Best doggone dog in the West
Best doggone dog in the West
Old Yeller was a hunter
A rarin; tearin'hunter
In any chase
he knew just how to run
And when he hunted trouble
He always found it double
And that's when Old Yeller had fun
Here. Yeller
Come back. Yeller
Best doggone dog in the West

Old Yeller was a fighter
A rootin; tootin'fighter
In any scrap
he knew just what to do
= Knew what to do
Although his coat was yeller
= His bold Texas heart was true blue
= True blue
Here. Yeller
Come back. Yeller
Best doggone dog in the West
Here. Yeller
Come back. Yeller

- What's Pop gonna sell our steers for?
- For money, of course.
- What's money?
- It's what you buy things with.
What do you mean by "buy things?''
Well, if you got money,
you give it to people for stuff.
And they say you can get
anything for money.
Anything? What's it look like?
Well, I never seen but one piece--
a dollar bill Papa had. It's paper.
- What'd Papa get with this dollar?
- Nothin'. It wasn't no good.
But you just said that you could
get anything with money.
Well, ya can.
But Papa's was Confederate.
- What's Confederate money?
- Confederate money?
Well, it's--
- Well?
- Don't you ever run outta questions?
- I wish you didn't have to go.
- Right now I feel sorta the same way...
but I put 1 00 head of our steers
into that pool herd.
And in Kansas, we can get, maybe,
four or five dollars a head for 'em.
- Cash money too.
- I know, but--
Ain't nothin' to be sad about,
Katie girl.
When you think on it, we're lucky.
There's us and the young 'uns,
good land...
plenty of water,
game for the killin'.
Cash money is all we need
to get a tight tail-hold on the world.
Will you really be gone three months?
All of three months, maybe four.
Now, honey,
it ain't nothin' to cry about.
It's just that we've never
been separated before.
- You know what I'm gonna do
when I sell them steers?
- What?
I'm gonna get you a store-bought dress.
The first one you've had
since we come to Texas.
Let's see here.
Papa, I aim to go with ya!
You better stay here
and take care of your mama.
Aw, gee, Papa.
- But I wanna go. I tell ya, I wanna go!
- Arliss.
- Let go of me! I wanna go with Papa!
- You ride a piece with me, Travis.
- Arliss!
- All right, Papa.
I wanna go!
But I wanna go!
I can ride them old cows same as you.
You can't go on no cow drive, boy.
Them Injuns would scalp you for sure.
You think so, Papa?
I'm certain.
- Goodbye, Katie.
- Goodbye,Jim dear.
Well, son, while I'm gone,
you'll be the man of the house.
Yes, sir.
There'll be the pigs to mark,
fresh meat to shoot.
And mainly, there's the corn patch.
If you don't work it right,
we'll be without bread this winter.
It's sure enough a man-sized job.
Think you can handle old Jumper
when he's hooked up to a plough?
I'll handle him,
or I'll bust his jawbone with a club.
Well, all right, boy.
I'll see you this fall.
- Papa, you ain't forgettin' the horse?
- What horse?
Now, Papa, you know I've been
achin' all over for a horse to ride.
- I told you time and again.
- Well, what you're needin' worse
than a horse is a good dog.
Yes, sir, but what I'm wantin'
worst is a good horse.
All right, boy. You act a man's part,
and I'll bring you a man's horse.
Wanna shake on it?
Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa!
Whoa,Jumper! Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa,Jumper!
Get away from that mule!
Let that mule alone!
Papa ain't gone
a full day and look what a mess.
- It's not your fault, son.
- Maybe not, but--
Get, you crazy fool dog! Get!
I know one thing.
That old dog better not come around
here while I got me a gun in my hands.
- Who busted down the fence?
- Where have you been?
Bear huntin'.
- Danged old stray dog. I had Jumper--
- Dog? Where is he?
You won't never see him.
I done rocked him clean off this place.
But I need me a good huntin' dog.
- Arliss, go wash up
before supper's all cold.
- Aw, Mama.
Go on!
- What do you got in that pocket?
- Nothin'.
- Let's see what you got this time.
- Aw, Mama.
- Come on.
Come on. Oh, Arliss!
- How can you even touch
those ugly things?
- They aren't ugly.
Look it here at his belly,
how soft and smooth and pretty it is.
I know. Everything you catch is pretty.
But take him outta here.
You can't keep him in the house.
- You mean I gotta throw him away?
- And everything else you got
in those pockets.
My frog too?
Arliss, what all have
you got in those pockets?
Aw, Mama, it's just
I don't care.
Get it out of here!
Arliss, if you don't stop
catchin' things and bringin' 'em
into the house...
And don't you ever,
ever pick up a snake again.
- Ya understand?
- Yes'm.
- Now go out there
and wash up for supper.
- Little old garter snake ain't harmful.
If he'll pick up one kind of snake,
he'll pick up another.
Next time it could be a rattler.
I wish he did have a good dog,
like old Bell.
When you were little, old Bell
wouldn't let you near anything harmful.
Ain't another dog in this world
like old Bell was.
Sure would've made short work
of that old yeller stray.
Mama.
I was just thinkin'.
About your papa. I guess
he's eaten his breakfast by now.
Probably wanted to get an early start.
I wonder how far
they got yesterday.
Oh, I don't know.
Papa says 1 5 mile a day...
is a long haul for a trail herd.
I guess he made about ten mile.
Mush is about ready. If you want
middling meat to go with it,
you better go out and cut some down.
All right.
Mama, what happened
to the middling meat?
Why, you no-account, thievin' rascal!
Get outta here!
A dog!
All right!
You hit my dog
and I'll wear you to a frazzle.
- Travis, Arliss,
whatcha doin' out there?
- Let go of my stick!
Arliss! Arliss.
- Don't you dare hit your brother.
- He was tryin' to kill my dog.
- He's not your dog.
- Where on earth did he come from?
He's that same old stray dog
that wrecked the fence. Stole that
big side of middling meat there too.
He's my dog.
Ain't nobody gonna try to hurt him.
Well.
Looks like we've got us a dog.
Mama, you don't mean
we're gonna keep that old,
ugly yeller dog after what he done?
He isn't a ugly yeller dog.
He's a pretty yeller dog.
Come on now. Come on.
Come on.
- And have him stampedin'Jumper again?
- You could break him of that.
He's a thief, Mama!
He'll steal us blind.
