Whatever Happened To Randolph Scott Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Everybody knows when you go to the show 

You can't take the kids along 

You've gotta read the paper and know the code 

Of G, PG and R and X 

And you gotta know what the movie's about 

Before you even go 

Tex Ritter's gone and Disney's dead 

And the screen is filled with sex 

Whatever happened to Randolph Scott 

Ridin' the trail alone 

Whatever happened to Gene and Tex 

And Roy and Rex, the Durango kid 

Oh whatever happened to Randolph Scott 

His horse, plain as can be 

Whatever happened to Randolph Scott 

Has happened to the best of me 

Everybody's tryin' to make a comment 

About our doubts and fears 

True Grit's the only movie 

I've really understood in years 

You gotta take your analyst along 

To see if it's fit to see 

Whatever happened to Randolph Scott 

Has happened to the industry 

Whatever happened to Johnny Mack Brown 

And Alan Rocky Lane 

Whatever happened to Lash Larue 

I'd love to see them again 

Whatever happened to Smiley Burnett 

Tim Holt and Gene Autry 

Whatever happened to all of these 

Has happened to the best of me
