Who's Gene Autry? Lyrics - I Would Like To See You Again - Johnny Cash

Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro 

Back in the saddle again 

My little boy said, "Daddy, who's Gene Autry?" 

His old movie was comin' on TV 

And I said, "Let me tell you about him, son" 

And I took him upon my knee 

"Why, when I was a little boy about your size 

And just about every Saturday night 

When I could scrape up a dime for the movies 

And when my Daddy said alright" 

"I'd be right downtown at the picture show 

Like everybody else that could 

To see a handsome man 

On a big fine stallion goin' about, doin' good"

Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro 

Put him back in the saddle again 

Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way 

Back in the saddle again" 

"Well, he could ride his horse and play his guitar 

And sing all at the same time 

And I was ridin' right along there beside him 

On that broomstick pony of mine" 

"And you know his pistol never ran out of bullets 

When the bad guys had to be stopped 

And somehow his bullets never drew any blood 

But the bad guys dropped when he shot" 

"Yeah, old Gene was an image of justice 

And goodness and purity 

And in the eyes of a poor, little country boy 

He made the world look better to me"

Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro 

Put him back in the saddle again 

Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way 

Back in the saddle again" 

"And you know the way 

He rescued the rancher's daughter 

He'd sent a thrill right up the aisle 

And the endin' would always send us home 

With a good victorious smile" 

"Now you ask me, 'Who's Gene Autry?' 

Well, son, go ahead and watch the show 

And then ride off into the sunset with him 

Like I did forty years ago" 

Singin', "Whoopi tai ai oh, rockin' to and fro 

Put him back in the saddle again 

Whoopi tai ai yeh, let him go on his way 

Back in the saddle again"
