Im 68 I remember this so well as a kid. What a great song, great people and what a great era to live. A man was a man a woman was a woman and people were sane for the most part. There was sanity in the world and black was black white was white. How I miss those days! Only heaven can be better.
Sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, the last time i saw my grandfather before his death was 2 years ago. I'd do anything just to hear him sing it just one more time.
My grandfather used to sing this all the time. Today we laid him to rest. He was 84 and the best of us. My family sang this at his grave - I don't know how they did it, I couldn't get out the words. I wish everyone was as lucky to have a grandfather like him. I love you, grandpa!
My Dad brought us on a family trip through the states, but most importantly, to go visit Roy Rogers museum in 95. We drove from Ontario to his Mansion in L.A. to give him a get well card. This song brings nothing but golden memories of childhood and that trip. Happy trails indeed. Hopefully my dad got a chance to meet Roy Rogers up there in heaven. He was always a huge fan. RIP
In the early 50's we didn't afford a tv and heard these movies and always enjoyed hearing this theme song at night after dinner. What a time it was. Happy Trails to you.
When I was a kid, I wished to be a cowboy, but instead, I became a University Professor, I liked to see cowboy movies and would have liked that life, I think, but I have mounted a horse only four times, in my whole life, but it is nice to remember my childhood dreams.
This will be played at my Granddad's funeral... He passed recently, and he loved these songs. We would watch westerns all day, and this deeply makes me think of him.
Actually, the world wasn't a nicer place, it was filled with unawaken souls who were very biased and racist against children they took in, and racist. NOW we are waking up to our own ignorance back then. They were loving people teaching these things. Subtle but beautifully.

Went to my granddaughters Pre-K graduation. The ceremony had a patriotic/western theme. The kiddos departed individually to this song! Such a heartfelt celebration and this song truly sealed it!!! God Bless the little ones!😊
I was shown this in my 3rr grade by my teacher who wanted to share good music and I liked it. For so many years I couldn't figure the name or how it went but I still wanted to find it and today I did and so happy I did
This was my favorite show growing up. They were my "heros" Then followed their Christian walk. My dream was to meet them both. When Roy died I knew that dream would not happen in this lifetime. But I did get to see Dale and got to shake her hand. She was just down to earth. But love this soung.
As a kid, I was a huge Roy Rogers fan, my dad took me to his movies as soon as they came out. Then I was an avid fan of his TV show. How great it was as an adult to find out that he was all a kid could dream about. A good man, a loving husband, a great singer, truly he was the "King of the cowboys"! I found out in the last few years that a close high school friend of mine owned a gas station next to Roy's museum, and said Roy was a as friendly as could be.
My mom double dated with Roy when he and the Pioneers came through town. She said he was a wonderful man. One of her favorite stories to tell of her youth. She just passed away this February at 101. Good memories and Happy Trails.
My brother and his wife are driving from Florida to Montana. They do it once a year in their Airstream. The last thing I said to him before they left was happy trails. That's what I thought it's time I hear that song again now at 70 years old I felt like a little kid again.
I"ve already stipulated that, too - at the very last when they file out! I have a terminal illness and I don't want people crying. Roy and Dale were my heroes. Never missed watching them on TV.
Some trails are happy ones, Others are blue. It's the way you ride the trail that counts, Here's a happy one for you. Happy trails to you, Until we meet again. Happy trails to you, Keep smiling until then. Who cares about the clouds when we're together? Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather. Happy trails to you, Until we meet again.
I live in a small town in Iowa, they played this after every noght of dirt racing at Boone Speedway, the last time I was there I teared up when this started playing. Its a great song, im 14
Thanks God for giving us a Roy Rogers and Dale Evans!!!!...they both still inspire the best of us!!! One cannot imagine a better world without this great life models. May al us don't forget them!!!!
Omg omg this is it!!! I'm in tears. My father sang this to me when it was time for bed. I only knew the first two lines because I would always cry because I didn't want to go to bed. Now I'm in tears from the memories. Just omg Thank you so much Jesus that even though I don't have my mother anymore I still have my 70 year old father that I can share this with tomorrow morning and when he wakes up 🙂
It was wonderful getting to know Roy and Dale. Even in the So. CA temps Roy wore his undershirt, long sleeve flannal shirt and cowboy hat. Happy Trals Roy and Dale when we met again. 💖
I used to go to the movies to see Roy Rogers' films, and enjoyed them as a kid and a teenager. And he was not only able to ride and do what cowboys do, but he could also sing well, and significant songs, like this one which is great to listen to and enjoy.
I agree, Jim. My cousin and I were born in '51 and grew up watching TV. We had no doubt we were going to grow up to become Roy Rogers & Dale Evans. The fact they already existed wasn't a problem for us. Ah! Childhood. Anything can happen.
Many of you also remember not only the wonderful and encouraging message of this song, but the wonderful role models and life-giving, powerful and just plain love of good and one's neighbor Roy and Dale at modelled in their movies and TV series. And the more America has sunk from the wonderful and life-giving substance that made us great, the more such role models and messages as Roy and Dale's and other such cowboy heroes portrayed looks mighty good to the sousl hungry for such life. I know some folks have gotten bitter and cynical about such things due to the gutter-life our nation has sunk into and the wreckage of pain and brokenness that has followed since we lost our way as a nation. But I also know that Roy and Dale were followers of Jesus and found hope and strength in him in the real life tragedies they endured. And the very values of faith, hope and love they lived by and also formed the life and values they modelled off-screen and on-screen.-- the same beliefs and life our Founding Fathers made clear were the founation of our nation and freedoms for all. And I am confident that although heroes like Roy and Dale have passed on, the same Father God and Jesus who guided and empowered them, still lives and is ready and eager in His love, truth and power to restore and heal each of us individually and as a nation. And that sure and confident hope has begun to spark and ignite in places around our nation and world-- and will continue to grow and kindle across our nation and world into the true love of God, neighbor and good Roy and Dale lived by.Happy Trails, folks!
And then you realize the harsh reality that biblical religion is all bullshit and is the reason the world's in shitty condition while the human race is divided during all the suffering.
Linda Monk She was so hot. Sounds like a good four some. You with Roy, me with Dale, then we switch. OK. They are dead. How's about we start with you and me (am told Sam Elliot looks like me) and go from there?
I remember lining up in front of the Canadian National Exhibition stadium in the 1950's to see Roy Rogers Dale Evans and Trigger. After their show they stayed for over three hours until every boy and girl got an autograph and hello. No more has to be said about them. Authentic. It doesn't exist anymore. I feel so sorry for the children of today.
greeneyeslinz this teacher wasn't in Arizona was he? I remember a teacher who loved Roy Rogers and when he would show us history it would be one of his films. This was in 5th grade.
I remember Rogers came to our town. The night he was here, my dad came home early from work, we had dinner early, and we all moved the load of sand and gravel from our driveway to the backyard. After that, we watched TV, after I did my homework. The end.
i'm a huge radio geek, and sometimes heard this song as a close to a format. sort of a "goodbye for now, if we ever do come back, be looking out for us!" thing. most recently hearing this on Classic country WIRL 1290 in Peoria, IL as the last song played before making the shift to oldies.
Met them at the CNE in Toronto doing a show as a kid. You'll never meet a nicer handsome couple in your life. Great family people. Real class. Love them. RIP - Thanks for the beautiful memories.
I was on vacation in apple valley, and stopped at the Roy Roger's museum. And was there all day. A lady came over and said " you have been here a long time" I said that i always thought of Roy as my dad and that i loved him. She left and a few minutes later i hear a man say " i understand you wanted to see me. I turned around and there was Roy Roger's. I hugged the stuffing out of him. I told him, that he helped me grow up. We had a long talk
This photo-lineup is the best. The music tempo just like I remembered it. When i was nine in 1955, I fantasized about Dale Evans. Never figured where my cap-gun or Davy Crocket hat (yes with the raccoon tail) disappeared to.
Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, and others taught us there was a real difference between right and wrong (no grey areas). Thanks to all of you for helping us know what is right and what is left...oppps... wrong. :)
My parents took me to see Roy Rogers & Trigger at the coliseum inIndianapolis when I was 6; unforgettable! He slowly went around the entire arena and shook hands with every child who came down. What a guy. What an experience. I was smitten.
I loved Roy and Dale, Trigger and Bullet! What a Great day that must have been for you! We my Sis and I could not see him, as we were in Boston Massachusetts, and we were very young then, in 1950 4 and 3 years old,but now my daughter tapes the shows for me to enjoy the ones I never saw! Love Roy Forever, and the Song!!!
Gratitude to God, and the music, imagination, and dreams HE put into the world through people like the Roy and Dale Rogers, and the Pioneers. Today at 3 AM my Aunt Nora Sue Akers passed, in Tucson Arizona. I'll never forget the wonderful music and singing she and her sisters and others (including my Mom and Dad) did together. The great harmonies, and great playing; inspired by the Pioneers, and also people like the Carter family. I love you Aunt Sue. Thank you for always showing me love, family and The Lord. Happy Trails in God's world. Tell The Lord, Uncle John and Johnny, Momma, Dad, and Grand-Ma and Grand-dad I love them. I miss you terribly already, but I hope to see you again. You pray for us. 'Cause we all need it. Show less
My grandfather died when i was 10...we played this song at his memorial service its been over 14 years and not a day goes by that I dont miss you Dad... youll always be my hero...i cant watch a John Wayne movie or Roy Rogers without crying I love you RIP John William Lewis
Someone posted earlier that Roy and Dale adopted Native American handicapped children who lived with their own children. They were SAINTS! It doesn't surprise me at all that someone who sings a heartwarming song like this would do such unselfish deeds as that. I hope we can all pay it forward somehow. What a LEGACY!
@Steve Blaugh You are absolutely correct. The Rogers were staunch Democrats and devout Christians who practiced what they preached. This unlike today's Pharisee Republicans who say they are pro life but who will not adopt children. The USA is and has always been great thanks to the likes of the Rogers.
@@merccadoosis8847 Puleeze, we were all democrats back then. And, yes... my fourth son was adopted. I was reading God's Littlest Angel at the fire station the night my third son was born prematurely. Twenty three weeks in 1975 and Shands Hospital in Gainesville took four months to save him. Truly a Miracle!
I still watch "The Roy Rogers Show", almost every day--great old-fashioned entertainment! Not like the trash that's on T.V. nowadays. RIP, Roy and Dale--'Happy Trails'!😔💒
My heroes have always been cowboys. I am 69 years old, raised in Texas and grew up with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Hoppalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger & Tonto, Rocky Lane, Red Ryder and Little Beaver (Robert Blake played Little Beaver), Lash LaRoo, Gene Autry, Smiley Burnet, Gabby Hayes, Burl Ives, Frog Millhouse, The Sons of the Pioneers, of course Trigger, Bullet, Buttermilk, Papoos (anyone know whose horse that was?), Silver, and all of the ones I can't remember. The good guys always won and the bad guys were always taught a life lesson. It was amazing how none of the good guys were every killed, maybe just roughed up a bit. Good ALWAYS won out over evil. The girls and boys never kissed, and you never heard a curse word. We would play cowboys and Indians as well as chasing the bad guys to bring them to justice. We used cap pistols and rifles. All of us had real firearms in the house because our fathers were hunters; every kid I knew had easy access to guns but we never touched them because we were taught from the time we could crawl to respect them and that they were NOT toys. You never heard of anyone going out and shooting up a school or snipers shooting at cars on the road. It just didn't happen. We were exposed to the "real thing" when it came to guns because we went out with our fathers hunting, so exposure doesn't breed killers. Westerns with shootouts don't breed them, either. It is violent video games, egregious violence in movies and the line between right and wrong being blurred by political correctness. The lack of discipline in the hope hasn't helped the situation, either. Life in the United States has deteriorated tremendously since we watched Roy Rogers and Dale Evans on the big screen. If only we could bring back the innocence of that time, wouldn't it be wonderful?
Wow.. You're making me wish I was born during that era... My father also used to tell me neat stories about those times. It must have been awesome...! You're right, If we could only go back in time...
Marvelous trip back to my childhood!!!,when a kid,after school watched Roy Rogers and Dale Evans TV show...I thougth all in life was pure and honest.Thanks to Mr and Mrs Rogers for a great childhood!!!
Yes, it was better than meeting a dear old friend to play this song for my grandchildren. It still sounds great and reminded me of how I wanted to be a cowgirl whenever I saw Roy and Dale having there marvelous adventures with Trigger and Buttermilk. Thank you for sharing it with us, Happy Trails to you, L
I'm now officially in 6th grade now but on Wednesday I was balling when all the teachers sung this to all of 5th grade, they announced our names and we got the chance to hug friends and teachers, I hugged my teacher so hard because I was crying and I knew I would miss her..... I love you miss Shepherd!!!
Diamond Doggo omg you’re like between 7-12 years old... go enjoy life and childhood. Play outside. Don’t be on youtube or the internet before you learn what real life is
Wow, all the mean posts..the poor kid is just recalling a touching moment, the passage of grammar school to middle school. Very nice they played this song on the last day! And as far as your teacher, Miss Shepard, perhaps, Duggo, you can visit her and your old school, and reminisce..I know, sometimes a special friend/teacher/mentor is sad to leave. But its like the song suggests, "its how you ride the trail that counts". Maybe you can go back and say hi! It's tough to say goodbye but sometimes it is possible to stay in touch! Hope you adjusted well to middle school
Love it! You remember that moment, Diamond Doggo, so that if you're blessed enough to grow to my age (65), you can still recall that special day. Love this song and Roy Rogers and his wife, Dale Evans, with whom I grew up. I still remember my kid days. Most were great!
Diamond Doggo You're SO lucky to be in the schools you're in. In many places, such a school system would be illegal, unless they could somehow make it perverted! As you get older, you'll cherish these memories and they'll shape you into a better person which should lead to a better wife and your raising better children...and on and on. All from little things like this 5'th grade experience! This is what we don't have anymore. I'd like to know what part of our beloved country you're from.
Good people. And very, very talented. I had forgotten how talented. Recently watched a clip where Roy rode Trigger into a live set, did horse tricks, and sang perfectly, on pitch and without missing a beat, then rode off the set, all in one take. He made it look easy and that is not easy. He was an inspiration to millions and the kind of class act we need today. Miss them both greatly.
I just finished doing the Jumble puzzle in today’s Toronto Star and the and the final letters, when unscrambled, spelled ‘Happy Trails.” That is when this song came to my mind and I just had to play it. So sweet 🎶🥰👌👏🙏👍🏾😇
Every Saturday morning, us kids used to gather around this crummy old RCA TV and watch the Roy Rogers show, it was a magical time for us boys to dream of shooting and hunting and chasing bad guys and bringing them to justice. Wow, thanks for posting this one, I loved Roy and Dale, it was one of my favorite shows. I know they're together once more in Heaven. Talk about lives well lived. What in the heck has happened to TV in the last 30 years or so, it has just gotten unwatchable anymore.
They were unbelievably generous and kind, they demonstrated those qualities by adopting 11 children!! That’s what I’m talkin’ bout! Angels on Earth!❤❤❤
Im 68 I remember this so well as a kid. What a great song, great people and what a great era to live. A man was a man a woman was a woman and people were sane for the most part. There was sanity in the world and black was black white was white. How I miss those days! Only heaven can be better.
No scandals, no arrests, just plain good folks right to the end. God Bless them both!
Just good people! Great example for kids growing up like I was then!
My last memory of my uncle is him singing this to me as I left his hospital room. He died before I got to see him again. Until we meet again.
Hi Steph, how are you doing?
:,(
Sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, the last time i saw my grandfather before his death was 2 years ago. I'd do anything just to hear him sing it just one more time.

He looking over you he had great taste in music . RIP
I am 75 and I remember being about 12 and writing to Roy Rodgers and. Getting a reply. It was my heaven then.
Eileen Sequeira you are so blessed to have been a child then.
Wow! That's so amazing!!! Congrats 😎
What did he say?
@@CaptainCaliansAdventures my question exactly
I am so glad for you.
My grandpa used to sing this song and i loved it. He sadly Passed away on July 2019. Until We Meet Again.
Reminds me of all the good old Saturday morning westerns in the 50's and 60's.
My grandfather used to sing this all the time. Today we laid him to rest. He was 84 and the best of us. My family sang this at his grave - I don't know how they did it, I couldn't get out the words. I wish everyone was as lucky to have a grandfather like him. I love you, grandpa!

Roy and Dale, good examples for kids and adults. Values that we have lost since the 50's. YES MAM...
This is by far the best version of Happy Trails. R.I.P Roy and Dale....

This song makes me feel emotional. It was my great grandma’s favorite song. This song always makes me think about her. R.I.P Grandma.
So nice hearing this. Watched them all the time when I was a kid. Back when the world was a much nicer place to live.

This brings back fond memories...when life was happy and safe and America was great
Roy and Dale; Truly one of the most inspiring and beautiful couples in music.
My algebra teacher in high school Mr. Fridge would sing this song to us as he kicked us out of class for being disruptive LOL. Good times
I was shown this in my 3rr grade by my teacher who wanted to share good music and I liked it. For so many years I couldn't figure the name or how it went but I still wanted to find it and today I did and so happy I did
Sounds like a fun/good teacher. Did you ever be disruptive on purpose so he'd sing it ?? :-P
😂😂😂😂😂 this made my day!!!
Fridge sounds Cool......
wait for it....
🤔🤔🤔😁
Amber D. H
Whenever we would visit my grandparents place my Grandpa would wave goodbye to us and sign this song, my world won't be the same without him
My childhood and adulthood heroes. They don't make heroes like this anymore. Great people.
Love them to this day
What good are real heroes in an indifferent world?
One of my favorite songs. God bless Dale and Roy
Except there is no God, look how much suffering is allowed in the world and the human race is divided.
What a difference those people made in the world. Full of God, love, hope, and encouragement.
Loved them dearly.
Your kidding, right? Have you ever heard of the Cold War?
Except there is no God is if observe all the suffering in the world and the human race being divided 'cause biblical religion.
And the American dream don’t forget. As good as his music, he also had a strong influence in shaping America. ❤️
He was gay
This was my favorite show growing up. They were my "heros" Then followed their Christian walk. My dream was to meet them both. When Roy died I knew that dream would not happen in this lifetime. But I did get to see Dale and got to shake her hand. She was just down to earth. But love this soung.
I loved that song and still do . I also loved that show. My childhood favorite show on black and white TV. 🤗💜👍🙏😇
Greetings from Malaysia. Happy trials Roy Rogers. What a cheerful song! Love this song since I was 10 n still love it now at 64.
I am high school teacher in the middle of the pandemic. I play this song everyday to close out my online sessions
That is so sweet n cool. My grandma loved the song n westerns
Good for you Brian. You're on the right "trail".
You’re one of the good ones!
Hope they NEVER forget it, the words, . meaning.
I never tires listening this song. This song is too good and touches my heart 💖💖💖
never heard dirty trash out of Hollywood on this couple (r.i.p. Roy and Dale) happy trails to you 😢😢😢

Love the Son of the Pioneers. Timber is still one of my favourites.

My brother and his wife are driving from Florida to Montana. They do it once a year in their Airstream. The last thing I said to him before they left was happy trails. That's what I thought it's time I hear that song again now at 70 years old I felt like a little kid again.

Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you,

its sad to see Roy Rogers and Dale Evans died these were legends in cowboy movies and country music
When I was a kid, watch them on our B/W tv, now I’m 71, fond memories!
This represents such an era of America somehow. It's such sweetness.
I hope my kids will have happy healthy lives.
I miss Roy & Dale and their goodness. I lived near them in Apple Valley.
I live in a small town in Iowa, they played this after every noght of dirt racing at Boone Speedway, the last time I was there I teared up when this started playing. Its a great song, im 14
The last time I heard this song was 22 years ago back when I was in preschool. So much nostalgia.
Thanks God for giving us a Roy Rogers and Dale Evans!!!!...they both still inspire the best of us!!! One cannot imagine a better world without this great life models. May al us don't forget them!!!!
Omg omg this is it!!! I'm in tears. My father sang this to me when it was time for bed. I only knew the first two lines because I would always cry because I didn't want to go to bed.

I agree, Jim. My cousin and I were born in '51 and grew up watching TV. We had no doubt we were going to grow up to become Roy Rogers & Dale Evans. The fact they already existed wasn't a problem for us. Ah! Childhood. Anything can happen.
Many of you also remember not only the wonderful and encouraging message of this song, but the wonderful role models and life-giving, powerful and just plain love of good and one's neighbor Roy and Dale at modelled in their movies and TV series.
And the more America has sunk from the wonderful and life-giving substance that made us great, the more such role models and messages as Roy and Dale's and other such cowboy heroes portrayed looks mighty good to the sousl hungry for such life.
I know some folks have gotten bitter and cynical about such things due to the gutter-life our nation has sunk into and the wreckage of pain and brokenness that has followed since we lost our way as a nation.
But I also know that Roy and Dale were followers of Jesus and found hope and strength in him in the real life tragedies they endured. And the very values of faith, hope and love they lived by and also formed the life and values they modelled off-screen and on-screen.-- the same beliefs and life our Founding Fathers made clear were the founation of our nation and freedoms for all.
And I am confident that although heroes like Roy and Dale have passed on, the same Father God and Jesus who guided and empowered them, still lives and is ready and eager in His love, truth and power to restore and heal each of us individually and as a nation. And that sure and confident hope has begun to spark and ignite in places around our nation and world-- and will continue to grow and kindle across our nation and world into the true love of God, neighbor and good Roy and Dale lived by.Happy Trails, folks!
And then you realize the harsh reality that biblical religion is all bullshit and is the reason the world's in shitty condition while the human race is divided during all the suffering.
This sure brings back good memories. They were great people. He was so handsome.
Linda Monk She was so hot. Sounds like a good four some. You with Roy, me with Dale, then we switch. OK. They are dead. How's about we start with you and me (am told Sam Elliot looks like me) and go from there?
I remember lining up in front of the Canadian National Exhibition stadium in the 1950's to see Roy Rogers Dale Evans and Trigger. After their show they stayed for over three hours until every boy and girl got an autograph and hello. No more has to be said about them. Authentic. It doesn't exist anymore. I feel so sorry for the children of today.
@Thomas Stewart Hi Thomas.
We played this song at my Grandma's celebration of life and it still makes me cry. Such a beautiful song :)
I had a teacher in college that played this for us on the last day of class. Funny how memories stick with you. I miss that guy!
Cheers! :)
IT TOOK A SPECIAL KIND OF PERSON TO WRITE THOSE WORDS !!
Today is my last day teaching English in a small town in Russia. I'm teaching this song as the last part of my lesson today…
My Microbiology's professor played this song in the last day of last semester either.
greeneyeslinz this teacher wasn't in Arizona was he?
I remember a teacher who loved Roy Rogers and when he would show us history it would be one of his films. This was in 5th grade.
Roy Rogers was my favourite in cowboys, i was a fan of his for many years they were great.
I remember Rogers came to our town. The night he was here, my dad came home early from work, we had dinner early, and we all moved the load of sand and gravel from our driveway to the backyard. After that, we watched TV, after I did my homework. The end.
My 9 month old son absolutely loves this video. We watch it every day, sometimes he watches it with his grandparents or before bed.

I loved them and this song. Watch them every Saturday morning.
This song would always play at a closed store (Hastings) when they would close up for the night. It brings back so many memories...
i'm a huge radio geek, and sometimes heard this song as a close to a format. sort of a "goodbye for now, if we ever do come back, be looking out for us!" thing. most recently hearing this on Classic country WIRL 1290 in Peoria, IL as the last song played before making the shift to oldies.
My grandfather sang this to me all the time as a child. I miss him so much.
Yes......it really was that good and simple !
God bless !
My granddaughter played this song for her last day of school.brings back memories
Love the memory! I sang with them each week!!
This song played at my great grandfathers funeral and we all sang along.
Happy trails

Thank you or these wonderful songs. This is a sense of real “Christian morals”. Thank you. God bless you all
Roy and Dale autographed everything I ever sent them. Quality people.
My great-grandpa had my cousin sing his funeral so it has value to me
Met them at the CNE in Toronto doing a show as a kid. You'll never meet a nicer handsome couple in your life. Great family people. Real class. Love them. RIP - Thanks for the beautiful memories.
I was on vacation in apple valley, and stopped at the Roy Roger's museum. And was there all day. A lady came over and said " you have been here a long time" I said that i always thought of Roy as my dad and that i loved him. She left and a few minutes later i hear a man say " i understand you wanted to see me. I turned around and there was Roy Roger's. I hugged the stuffing out of him. I told him, that he helped me grow up. We had a long talk
This photo-lineup is the best. The music tempo just like I remembered it. When i was nine in 1955, I fantasized about Dale Evans. Never figured where my cap-gun or Davy Crocket hat (yes with the raccoon tail) disappeared to.
Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, and others taught us there was a real difference between right and wrong (no grey areas). Thanks to all of you for helping us know what is right and what is left...oppps... wrong. :)
My parents took me to see Roy Rogers & Trigger at the coliseum inIndianapolis when I was 6; unforgettable! He slowly went around the entire arena and shook hands with every child who came down. What a guy. What an experience. I was smitten.
@@hawaiinpizza8944 that's crazy that you both were there!!! So cool 😎 congrats ❤️❤️
Wonderful!
You met Trigger? I'm so jelly! lol (I love Roy, too!)
I loved Roy and Dale, Trigger and Bullet! What a Great day that must have been for you! We my Sis and I could not see him, as we were in Boston Massachusetts, and we were very young then, in 1950 4 and 3 years old,but now my daughter tapes the shows for me to enjoy the ones I never saw! Love Roy Forever, and the Song!!!
Good memories, the days of cowboy boots, a hat, and my plastic pistol's running in the back yard in eastern Oklahoma saying "Stick 'em partner" !
Love Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Still watch their show!!
It brings me back memories of watching Televisión in the late 1950s.! It is such a happy tune!
Gratitude to God, and the music, imagination, and dreams HE put into the world through people like the Roy and Dale Rogers, and the Pioneers. Today at 3 AM my Aunt Nora Sue Akers passed, in Tucson Arizona. I'll never forget the wonderful music and singing she and her sisters and others (including my Mom and Dad) did together. The great harmonies, and great playing; inspired by the Pioneers, and also people like the Carter family. I love you Aunt Sue. Thank you for always showing me love, family and The Lord. Happy Trails in God's world. Tell The Lord, Uncle John and Johnny, Momma, Dad, and Grand-Ma and Grand-dad I love them. I miss you terribly already, but I hope to see you again. You pray for us. 'Cause we all need it.

My grandfather died when i was 10...we played this song at his memorial service its been over 14 years and not a day goes by that I dont miss you Dad... youll always be my hero...i cant watch a John Wayne movie or Roy Rogers without crying I love you RIP John William Lewis
My mother would sing this song because my grandmother loved watching westerns when she was growing up.
WISH I could take my my children and go back in times of so much fun and simple enjoyments!
I'm 18 and I feel stuck in this era. Everything I do is so retro. I'm an old soul. From my clothes to my attitude. 👍🏼. It's possible
Amen!
Same here
Someone posted earlier that Roy and Dale adopted Native American handicapped children who lived with their own children. They were SAINTS! It doesn't surprise me at all that someone who sings a heartwarming song like this would do such unselfish deeds as that. I hope we can all pay it forward somehow. What a LEGACY!
SHE NOT ONLY SANG IT , SHE WROTE IT , IN A MATTER OF MINUTES , SHE WAS DEFINITELY A SPECIAL PERSON
@Steve Blaugh
You are absolutely correct. The Rogers were staunch Democrats and devout Christians who practiced what they preached. This unlike today's Pharisee Republicans who say they are pro life but who will not adopt children. The USA is and has always been great thanks to the likes of the Rogers.
@@merccadoosis8847 Puleeze, we were all democrats back then. And, yes... my fourth son was adopted. I was reading God's Littlest Angel at the fire station the night my third son was born prematurely. Twenty three weeks in 1975 and Shands Hospital in Gainesville took four months to save him. Truly a Miracle!
@@davidspeaks5879 Nobody's going to be adopting you, pal. And there'll be a nice lump of coal in your Christmas stocking.
@TEXAN PROUD
Name them.
As of 10 years ago, this song was THE #1 CW song in the world!!
@James Hama Doing the best I can!
I still watch "The Roy Rogers Show", almost every day--great old-fashioned entertainment! Not like the trash that's on T.V. nowadays. RIP, Roy and Dale--'Happy Trails'!😔💒
My heroes have always been cowboys. I am 69 years old, raised in Texas and grew up with Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Hoppalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger & Tonto, Rocky Lane, Red Ryder and Little Beaver (Robert Blake played Little Beaver), Lash LaRoo, Gene Autry, Smiley Burnet, Gabby Hayes, Burl Ives, Frog Millhouse, The Sons of the Pioneers, of course Trigger, Bullet, Buttermilk, Papoos (anyone know whose horse that was?), Silver, and all of the ones I can't remember. The good guys always won and the bad guys were always taught a life lesson. It was amazing how none of the good guys were every killed, maybe just roughed up a bit. Good ALWAYS won out over evil. The girls and boys never kissed, and you never heard a curse word. We would play cowboys and Indians as well as chasing the bad guys to bring them to justice. We used cap pistols and rifles. All of us had real firearms in the house because our fathers were hunters; every kid I knew had easy access to guns but we never touched them because we were taught from the time we could crawl to respect them and that they were NOT toys. You never heard of anyone going out and shooting up a school or snipers shooting at cars on the road. It just didn't happen. We were exposed to the "real thing" when it came to guns because we went out with our fathers hunting, so exposure doesn't breed killers. Westerns with shootouts don't breed them, either. It is violent video games, egregious violence in movies and the line between right and wrong being blurred by political correctness. The lack of discipline in the hope hasn't helped the situation, either. Life in the United States has deteriorated tremendously since we watched Roy Rogers and Dale Evans on the big screen. If only we could bring back the innocence of that time, wouldn't it be wonderful?
Wow.. You're making me wish I was born during that era... My father also used to tell me neat stories about those times. It must have been awesome...! You're right, If we could only go back in time...
You forgot one John Wayne a cowboy in his own right.
Nice 👍🤔😢😄😄😄😄
Marvelous trip back to my childhood!!!,when a kid,after school watched Roy Rogers and Dale Evans TV show...I thougth all in life was pure and honest.Thanks to Mr and Mrs Rogers for a great childhood!!!
This is giving me goos bumps.So beautiful.Im getting tears of happeness.Thank you.
Yes, it was better than meeting a dear old friend to play this song for my grandchildren. It still sounds great and reminded me of how I wanted to be a cowgirl whenever I saw Roy and Dale having there marvelous adventures with Trigger and Buttermilk. Thank you for sharing it with us, Happy Trails to you,

I'm now officially in 6th grade now but on Wednesday I was balling when all the teachers sung this to all of 5th grade, they announced our names and we got the chance to hug friends and teachers, I hugged my teacher so hard because I was crying and I knew I would miss her..... I love you miss Shepherd!!!
Diamond Doggo omg you’re like between 7-12 years old... go enjoy life and childhood. Play outside. Don’t be on youtube or the internet before you learn what real life is
I think you meant "bawling." Time for another spelling test!
Wow, all the mean posts..the poor kid is just recalling a touching moment, the passage of grammar school to middle school. Very nice they played this song on the last day! And as far as your teacher, Miss Shepard, perhaps, Duggo, you can visit her and your old school, and reminisce..I know, sometimes a special friend/teacher/mentor is sad to leave. But its like the song suggests, "its how you ride the trail that counts". Maybe you can go back and say hi! It's tough to say goodbye but sometimes it is possible to stay in touch! Hope you adjusted well to middle school
Love it! You remember that moment, Diamond Doggo, so that if you're blessed enough to grow to my age (65), you can still recall that special day. Love this song and Roy Rogers and his wife, Dale Evans, with whom I grew up. I still remember my kid days. Most were great!
Diamond Doggo You're SO lucky to be in the schools you're in. In many places, such a school system would be illegal, unless they could somehow make it perverted! As you get older, you'll cherish these memories and they'll shape you into a better person which should lead to a better wife and your raising better children...and on and on. All from little things like this 5'th grade experience! This is what we don't have anymore. I'd like to know what part of our beloved country you're from.
This song is Excellent
When I was Young I saw them every time they performed at Madison Square Garden. Of course watched them on TV everyday.
Good people. And very, very talented. I had forgotten how talented. Recently watched a clip where Roy rode Trigger into a live set, did horse tricks, and sang perfectly, on pitch and without missing a beat, then rode off the set, all in one take. He made it look easy and that is not easy. He was an inspiration to millions and the kind of class act we need today. Miss them both greatly.
roy's voice is just beautiful!
Elder react brought me here. I'm 19 and glad that I found this beautiful song
I just finished doing the Jumble puzzle in today’s Toronto Star and the and the final letters, when unscrambled, spelled ‘Happy Trails.” That is when this song came to my mind and I just had to play it. So sweet 🎶🥰👌👏🙏👍🏾😇
That’s why we came to this site as well!! We live in Erie PA and it was in the Times News! We are word jumble junkies!!! Happy Trails to you!!
@@amychevalierleemhuis4354 I see--I love the jumbles too. Thank you--Cheers!
@Thomas Stewart Hello 👋. How can I help?
@Thomas Stewart I see. First can you tell me why you want to get to know me.
My elementary school music teacher is Roy Rogers granddaughter and introduced the class to this song.
i Love this song, Happy Trails!! keep on singing on this happy song!!
My GrandMa used to love Roy Rogers. She Passed Away in 2007.
My class used to sing this song in elementary during music class. Aaaaa the memories!😭😭😭
Always loved them as I was growing up...Happy days of my childhood...kids today don't have these happy memories...makes me sad for them.
Hello Jean
I sing this with my grandson after our 3 hour home schooling sessions to end our time on a wonderful note!
Every Saturday morning, us kids used to gather around this crummy old RCA TV and watch the Roy Rogers show, it was a magical time for us boys to dream of shooting and hunting and chasing bad guys and bringing them to justice. Wow, thanks for posting this one, I loved Roy and Dale, it was one of my favorite shows. I know they're together once more in Heaven. Talk about lives well lived. What in the heck has happened to TV in the last 30 years or so, it has just gotten unwatchable anymore.
They were unbelievably generous and kind, they demonstrated those qualities by adopting 11 children!! That’s what I’m talkin’ bout! Angels on Earth!❤❤❤
They walked the walk
