STARRING ANDY GRIFFITH...

WITH RONNY HOWARD...

ALSO STARRING DON KNOTTS.

HEY, BARN?

HEY, BARN?

HEY, BARN?

HEY!

HOW MUCH LONGER YOU GONNA BE AT THAT?

WHY? IS THERE SOMEWHERE YOU WANT ME TO GO?

YEAH. WHERE?

ANYWHERE.

WHAT I MEAN, BARN, IS

I'M AFRAID I MIGHT BE BOTHERING YOU.

I BEEN MAKIN' A LOT OF RACKET OUT HERE

FOLDING LETTERS AND LICKING STAMPS.

DON'T BOTHER ME NONE.

I'VE TRIED TO KEEP THE RACKET DOWN,

BUT I'M A NOISY FOLDER, AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

I AIN'T EVEN NOTICED IT.

* AHH

YOU'RE JUST BEING NICE, BARN.

YOU'RE JUST BEING NICE.

NOW, I KNOW I'M DISTURBIN' YOU

AND IF YOU WANNA GO OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE AND PRACTICE,

I'LL UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY.

NO. NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I CAN PUT UP WITH IT.

BESIDES, I'M LEAVIN' IN JUST A FEW MINUTES

FOR THEM TRYOUTS.

YOU KNOW, ANDY, I GOT A HUNCH

I'M REALLY GONNA DO ALL RIGHT.

BE SOMETHING, WOULDN'T IT--

IF I WIN THAT AUDITION

AND GET TO REPRESENT MAYBERRY

AT THE LADIES LEAGUE MUSICALE?

THAT COULD LEAD SOMEPLACE.

YEAH, I SUPPOSE IT COULD.

YEAH, THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOT ME WORRIED

IS I GOT A VIRUS COLD COME ON.

SURE HOPE THE BUG DON'T GET DOWN IN MY "LARNYX."

YOUR WHAT?

MY "LARNYX."

OH-OH-OH.

OH, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE USING THAT BUG SPRAY?

BUG SPRAY?

THAT'S HONEY AND WATER.

ALL THE BIG SINGERS USE IT--

NELSON EDDY, TEX RITTER, FERLIN HUSKY, ALL OF 'EM.

JUST HONEY AND WATER.

HONEY AND WATER, HUH?

YEAH, HONEY AND WATER.

AAH, AA-AAH. MMM.

YEAH, IT'S GOOD. SEE?

IF I WAS YOU, I'D BE CAREFUL OF THAT STUFF.

YEAH, I'D SURE WATCH THAT STUFF IF I WAS YOU.

WHY? CAN'T HURT NOTHING.

IT'S JUST HONEY.

BUT IT COULD!

NOW, JUST THINK --

YOU GET RIGHT OUT IN THE CENTER OF THE STAGE,

RIGHT BY YOURSELF,

AND THE SPOTLIGHT FALLS RIGHT ON YOU.

AND THEN YOU TAKE A DEEP BREATH, HUH?

THEN YOUR VOICE -- I MEAN YOUR GLORIOUS VOICE --

COMES UP FROM YOUR LUNGS RIGHT THROUGH YOUR "LARNYX,"

AND FINALLY IT COMES BUSTING RIGHT OUT THROUGH YOUR MOUTH.

AND THEN...

THEN WHAT?

THEN YOUR VOICE GETS DROWNED OUT

BY ALL THEM FLIES BUZZING AROUND YOUR MOUTH.

THERE'S ONE RIGHT THERE!

YOU'RE REALLY FUNNY, AREN'T YOU?

LAUGH-A-MINUTE TAYLOR.

A REGULAR JOE PENNER.

OOH-OOH, HYUCK-HYUCK!

Andy: HOWDY, RAFE.

HOWDY, SHERIFF.

WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

A MESS OF FRESH-PICKED STRING BEANS.

YOUR AUNT BEE ASKED ME TO DROP 'EM OFF

FOR SOME DOINGS THAT'S GOIN' ON.

OH, YEAH. THEM'S NICE.

MUST BE FOR THE BIG SUPPER

THE LADIES LEAGUE IS HAVIN' AFTER THEIR MUSICALE.

I'LL SET 'EM RIGHT HERE.

THAT'S BARNEY.

HOW LONG'S HE BEEN AILIN'?

HE'S JUST PRACTICING UP ON HIS SINGING VOICE.

IF YOU WAS ANY KIND OF A FRIEND

YOU'D BE A HELP INSTEAD OF A HINDRANCE.

HELLO, RAFE. SORRY.

GIVE ME A "C" CHORD, WILL YA?

I WANNA CHECK MY PITCH.

OKAY. WHAT YOU GONNA SING FOR 'EM?

I DON'T KNOW.

FROM THE LIGHT CLASSICS. I THOUGHT I'D DO SOMETHIN'

SORT OF A TOSS-UP

BETWEEN "TICO TICO" AND "THE UMBRELLA MAN."

I MAY EVEN GO ALL THE WAY WITH "MOON OF MANAKOORA."

I CAN'T HELP YOU OUT MUCH WITH ANY OF THEM.

MAYBE SINCE YOU'RE DOING SOMETHIN'

FROM THE LIGHT CLASSICS, THOUGH, YOU KNOW

"BELIEVE ME IF ALL THEM ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS."

YEAH. YEAH, I KNOW IT.

IT AIN'T MUCH OF A CHALLENGE

BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT FOR A WARMER-UPPER.

OKAY.

* BELIEVE ME IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS *

* WHICH I GAZE ON SO FINE TODAY * BARNEY?

* WERE CHANGED...

BARNEY?

* LIKE FAIRY WINGS FADING AWAY... * BARNEY?!

WHAT?

I-I DON'T MEAN TO BUTT IN NONE,

BUT THAT AIN'T THE WAY IT GOES.

YOUR ENDEARING WASN'T TOO CHARMING, BARN.

IT GOES...

THAT'S HOW IT GOES.

RAFE'S RIGHT, BARN.

WELL, THAT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY OF DOIN' IT.

IT'S THE SAME SONG.

DARN GOOD THING YOU SHOWED UP, RAFE.

WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ALONG AND SING WITH BARN?

YOU DON'T MIND, DO YOU, BARN?

WELL, NO.

COULD BE A LITTLE TOUGH FOR YOU TO KEEP UP, RAFE,

BUT SING ALONG THE BEST YOU CAN.

SING ALONG WITH BARN.

READY? HERE WE GO.

WAIT. HOLD IT.

AHH. AHH.

OKAY?

* BELIEVE ME * BELIEVE ME

* BELIEVE ME * IF ALL THOSE

* ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS * IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING CHARMS *

* CHARMS * WHICH I GAZE ON

* SO FONDLY TODAY * SO FONDLY

PICK IT UP A LITTLE BIT. * TODAY

* WERE TO CHANGE BY TOMORROW *

* WERE TO CHANGE BY TOMORROW *

* WERE TO CHANGE BY TOMORROW *

* AND FLEE FROM MY ARMS

* LIKE FAIRY WINGS FADING AWAY... * THAT'S NOT MY KEY.

* THOU WOULD STILL BE ADORED AS THIS MOMENT THOU ART *

* LET THY LOVELINESS FADE AS IT WILL *

* AND AROUND THE DEAR RUIN, EACH WISH OF MY HEART *

* WOULD ENTWINE ITSELF FERVENTLY STILL. *

HEY, NOW, THAT WAS SOME KINDA GOOD.

I FORGOT WHAT A FINE SET A PIPES YOU GOT ON YOU THERE, RAFE.

AW. AIN'T HE, BARN?

HOW COME YOU QUIT SINGING?

OH, THAT WASN'T MY KEY.

OH.

WELL, I GUESS I BETTER BE GETTIN' ON.

I ENJOYED THE SING-ALONG.

OKAY.

I'LL SEE YA, RAFE.

WAIT A MINUTE, RAFE.

BARN, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE RAFE ALONG TO THEM SINGIN' TRYOUTS?

HUH

HOW 'BOUT IT, RAFE? WOULDN'T HURT NONE.

WHAT ARE Y'ALL TALKIN' ABOUT?

THEY'RE HAVING SINGIN' TRYOUTS AT TOWN HALL.

WHY DON'T YOU SING FOR 'EM?

I COULDN'T DO THAT.

WELL, WHY NOT?

'CAUSE.

'CAUSE HE JUST COULDN'T, THAT'S WHY.

YOU'RE RIGHT TO REFUSE, RAFE.

I'M SURPRISED AT YOU.

WHAT'S WRONG?

WHAT'S WRONG IS THAT RAFE DON'T HAVE

NO TRAINED SINGING VOICE.

YOU WANNA GET UP THERE WITH THE REST OF US

AND MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF, RAFE?

UH...

THEY'RE LIABLE TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS

ONLY A TRAINED MUSICIAN UNDERSTANDS.

LIKE WHAT?

WELL, SUPPOSE THEY WAS TO ASK YOU

"CAN YOU SING A CAPPELLA?"

WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?

NO.

WELL, THERE YOU ARE.

WHY GET UP AND EMBARRASS YOURSELF?

HEY, BARN?

SUPPOSE THEY ASKED YOU IF YOU CAN SING A CAPPELLA.

WHAT'LL YOU DO?

WELL, I'D DO IT.

* A CAPPELLA

* A CAPPELLA...

WELL, I DON'T KNOW THE REST OF THE WORDS

BUT THAT'S IT.

I SEE. UH, BARN, I THINK ALL THEY WANT

IS TO FIND OUT HOW GOOD A VOICE YOU GOT.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE RAFE OVER THERE AND HAVE HIM SING FOR 'EM?

YOU WANT RAFE HERE TO BE EMBARRASSED AND HUMILIATED?

THEY WANT PEOPLE UP THERE WITH MUSICAL BACKGROUNDS.

WELL, IT WAS JUST AN IDEA.

THAT DON'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO STOP SINGING, RAFE.

YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND DO IT.

YOU SING IN THE BATHTUB, DON'T YOU?

WELL, YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD AND DO THAT.

CAN I ASK A QUESTION?

WHAT IS IT, RAFE?

WHAT TIME ARE THESE HERE TRYOUTS?

RIGHT ABOUT NOW, I GUESS. WHY?

I'M GOIN' OVER THERE.

HUH?

WELL, I RECKON SINCE THEY AIN'T NEVER AROUND

WHEN I'M TAKIN' A BATH, I BEST GO ON OVER THERE.

NOW, RAFE, LISTEN...

GO WITH HIM, BARN.

GO ON WITH HIM.

MAYBE ON THE WAY OVER THERE

YOU CAN TEACH HIM HOW TO SING A CAPPELLA.

HOW'D THAT GO AGAIN?

* A CAPPELLA, A CAPPELLA

THAT'S CATCHY.

SO, THE AUDITION WENT PRETTY GOOD?

YEAH, IT DID.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS ONE OF THEM ELECTRIC MOMENTS IN THE THEATER.

WHEN THE LAST NOTE DIED DOWN,

THERE WAS THIS HUSH FELL OVER THE HALL, YOU KNOW.

YOU'D NEVER EVEN A-KNOWN ANYBODY WAS THERE.

WAS THERE?

WELL, SURE.

ALL THE OTHER TRYOUTERS.

I WISH YOU COULD HAVE HEARD ME, ANDY.

YEAH.

HOW'D RAFE DO?

OH, ALL RIGHT, I GUESS.

SAY, OPE, UH, I WONDER IF YOU'D MIND

HOLDIN' DOWN ON THE SWEEPIN'.

SEE, THAT RAISES DUST,

AND THAT'S THE WORST POSSIBLE THING

FOR THE "LARNYX."

THE WHAT?

THE "LARNYX."

TH-THAT'S THE ORGAN IN YOUR THROAT.

YOU GOT AN ORGAN STUCK IN YOUR THROAT, BARNEY?

THAT'S THE THING THAT YOU USE FOR SINGIN' AND TALKIN'.

IT'S CALLED A VOICE BOX.

WELL, YEAH, BUT THE MORE CORRECT MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

IS THE "LARNYX."

GOOD WORD TO KNOW.

AND YOU DON'T WANT ME TO SWEEP ANY DUST INTO IT.

THAT'S RIGHT, 'CAUSE I'M GONNA USE IT FOR SINGIN'.

I'LL JUST GO IN THE BACK ROOM

AND WAIT TILL THE DUST ALL SETTLES.

Andy: OH, HI, JOHN.

HOW'D TRYOUTS GO?

VERY, VERY WELL.

OH.

A TRULY OUTSTANDING VOICE. I'M SURE WE'VE DISCOVERED

Andy: REALLY?

WELL, I'LL BE DOGGED. WHO IS IT?

John: IT'S SO GENUINE.

FULLY NATURAL FEELING.

PERFECT PITCH.

WELL. YES.

AMAZING HE'S KEPT IT TO HIMSELF ALL THIS TIME.

MAYBERRY IS GOING TO HAVE

A REPRESENTATIVE WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF AT THE MUSICALE.

AIN'T THAT SOMETHIN'?

YOU STILL AIN'T TOLD ME WHO WON.

ANDY, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SENDING OVER RAFE HOLLISTER.

RAFE HOLLISTER?!

YES. WHY NOT? HE HAS A REMARKABLE VOICE.

YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN THAT, ANDY,

OR YOU WOULDN'T HAVE SENT HIM OVER.

IT WAS A FINE IDEA.

IT WAS JUST A SUGGESTION.

IT WAS THE BEST I HEARD.

NOW I MUST GET OVER TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

MRS. JEFFRIES IS WAITING THERE TO HEAR ABOUT OUR CHOICE.

YEAH. WELL, THANKS AGAIN, ANDY.

OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU, JOHN.

THAT MEANS BARNEY

AIN'T GONNA BE THE ONE TO SING, HUH, PAW?

OH, WELL, UH, UH, YEAH.

THEN I GUESS IT'S ALL RIGHT IF I SWEEP.

UH...

I'M, UH...

I'M SORRY, BARN.

OH, OH, TH-THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I JUST HAD THE WRONG SELECTION.

MM.

PICKED SOMETHIN' FROM THE LIGHT CLASSICS

AND IT WAS JUST OVER THEIR HEADS.

WHAT'D YOU SING FOR 'EM?

UH, "CHERRY BERRY BEND."

OH-OH, I SEE, AND THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT?

IT WAS OVER THEIR HEADS.

IN FACT, IT WAS SO OVER THEIR HEADS,

WHY, T-THEY STOPPED ME RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

OH.

OH, WELL, UH,

WELL, THAT'S A, THAT'S A SHAME.

OH, IT WAS -- IT WAS OVER THEIR HEADS.

WELL, TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

YEAH, DARN RIGHT. YEAH.

NEXT TIME, UH,

I'LL JUST BE A LITTLE BIT SMARTER.

NO MORE "CHERRY BERRY BEND."

OH, NO, NO "CHERRY BERRY BEND."

IT'S OVER THEIR HEADS. RIGHT.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?

YES, I DO, SHERIFF.

I MOST CERTAINLY DO WANT TO SEE YOU.

WHAT IS THIS, SOME SORT OF JOKE YOU'RE PULLING?

HUH?

JOHN MASTERS WAS JUST IN HERE

AND HE TOLD US THE CHOICE FOR THE MUSICALE--

RAFE HOLLISTER!

YOU WANT RAFE HOLLISTER TO REPRESENT US

AT THE MUSICALE.

I UNDERSTAND THIS WAS YOUR IDEA.

NO. I SUGGESTED HE GO UP THERE AND SING,

BUT JOHN MASTERS PICKED HIM FAIR AND SQUARE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH RAFE SINGIN' ANYWAY?

WHAT'S WRONG?

SHERIFF, YOU MUST FACE THE FACTS.

RAFE HOLLISTER SIMPLY IS NOT PRESENTABLE.

HIS APPEARANCE, THE WAY HE DRESSES--

AND TO PRESENT HIM AT MY ORGANIZATION --

A CLUB THAT HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO THE FINER THINGS?

NEVER.

RAFE'S ALREADY BEEN TOLD HE WON.

THEN YOU JUST TELL HIM HE DIDN'T WIN.

RAFE HOLLISTER WAS YOUR IDEA.

YOU JUST MARCH YOURSELF RIGHT OUT TO HIS PLACE

AND TELL HIM HE WILL NOT BE NEEDED.

HOW CAN I TELL HIM A THING LIKE THAT?

TELL HIM ANYTHING--

TELL HIM IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE--

BUT YOU MAKE IT CLEAR TO HIM

THAT HE WILL NOT BE REPRESENTING

THE FAIR CITY OF MAYBERRY.

MAYOR...

GOOD DAY, SHERIFF.

I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS

WHEN HE TOLD ME HE WON THAT SINGING CONTEST.

YEAH, WELL...

OH, HOWDY, RAFE.

OH, HOWDY, SHERIFF.

MARTHA BEEN CHEWING YOUR EAR OFF, HAS SHE?

NO, WE WAS JUST TALKING.

UH, T-THE REASON I COME OUT...

DON'T IT BEAT ALL?

I MEAN, THE WAY YOU JUST TOLD ME OFFHAND

TO GO ON OVER TO TOWN HALL, AND THEN FOR ME TO GET PICKED!

WE AIN'T LETTING THE SHERIFF

GET A WORD IN EDGEWISE.

WHAT DID BRING YOU OUT HERE, ANDY?

THERE'S NO TROUBLE, IS THERE?

UH, NO, NO, THERE'S, UH, THERE'S NO TROUBLE.

UH... I, UH, JUST WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU.

I KNOW YOU'LL DO FINE, RAFE.

JUST, JUST FINE.

THAT'S, UH, THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO TELL YOU.

YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM.

I COULDN'T, MAYOR.

OH, REALLY, SHERIFF.

WE CAN'T DO IT TO HIM, MAYOR.

IT MEANS TOO MUCH.

WELL, IT MEANS A LOT TO THE TOWN, TOO,

TO HAVE SOMEBODY UP ON THAT STAGE

WE WON'T BE ASHAMED OF.

WELL, WHAT YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT RAFE FOR, ANYWAY?

WHAT AM I SO WORRIED ABOUT...?

HIS APPEARANCE.

WHY, HE'S...

HE'S SEEDY!

RAFE'LL GET DRESSED UP FOR THE MUSICALE.

OH, WILL HE?

WELL, SHERIFF TAYLOR, I AM HOLDING YOU

PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS APPEARANCE.

WELL, HOW DO I LOOK?

WELL, UH...

RAFE, I, I DECLARE, YOU, YOU LOOK FINE.

YOU, YOU REALLY DO.

YOU LOOK JUST FINE.

WELL, I FIGURED FOR A BIG MUSICALE LIKE THIS,

A FELLA OUGHT TO GET DRESSED UP.

WELL, YOU LOOK FINE.

I WOULD HAVE GREASED MY SHOES,

BUT EVERY TIME I DO THAT, THE CATS ALL FOLLOW ME.

YEAH, WELL, UH, RAFE, UH,

WHY DON'T YOU COME BACK IN ABOUT A HOUR?

I GOT SOME WORK I HAVE TO DO

AND THEN WE'LL GO TO TOWN HALL AND PRACTICE.

ALL RIGHT.

I THINK I'LL LEAVE MY COAT AND TIE

IN THE TRUCK, THOUGH.

I HATE TO BE DRESSED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

OH, BOY, ANGE.

YEAH.

BOY, I'M IN TROUBLE.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

HE SHOWS UP OVER THERE AT THE MUSICALE

LOOKING LIKE THAT,

THE MAYOR AND MRS. JEFFRIES WILL HAVE A FIT.

WELL, I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO GO OUT

AND GET HIM SOME CLOTHES.

HOW YOU GOING TO KNOW HIS SIZES?

JUST HAVE TO GUESS. COME ON.

WELL, I'M BACK.

YOU READY TO GO?

OH, I'LL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE, RAFE.

CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

FIGURE WHAT?

OUR RECORDS ARE OFF SOMETHING FIERCE.

INK MUST'VE GOT SMUDGED.

SOMEBODY WE TOOK IN FOR MOONSHININ'

APRIL A YEAR AGO, ADDRESS UP ON WILLOW CREEK ROAD.

MOONSHINER? LAST APRIL, WAS IT?

WELL, THAT'S ME.

YOU TOOK ME IN ABOUT THEN.

CAN IT BE?

BY DOG, YOU'RE RIGHT.

NOW WE CAN SET THINGS STRAIGHT.

BUT I DONE MY TIME,

AND I AIN'T BEEN MOONSHININ' SINCE.

WELL, I MEAN... NOT SO'S YOU COULD NOTICE.

THAT AIN'T WHAT I MEAN, RAFE.

SEEMS WE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

WE FORGOT TO GIVE YOU YOUR SUIT OF CLOTHES

WHEN WE TURNED YOU LOOSE.

YOU KNOW HOW THE GOVERNMENT

GIVES RELEASED CONVICTS A SUIT SO THEY CAN START LIFE AFRESH?

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE SEEN IT IN THE JAILHOUSE PICTURE SHOWS.

WELL, ANDY, I WAS ONLY IN THE LOCKUP TEN DAYS.

OH, THAT DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE, RAFE.

YOU DID WRONG--

MIGHTY WRONG.

GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE FULL CONSEQUENCES.

OH. UH, BARN?

UH, YOU WANT TO GET ME

THE, THE SUIT OF CLOTHES OUT

FOR CASE NUMBER 68456735?

I FINALLY FOUND OUR MAN.

HUH?

OH!

UH, YEAH.

I DON'T NEED NO CLOTHES.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM CLOTHES, RAFE,

AND YOU HAVE TO WEAR 'EM.

OTHERWISE, I'M GONNA GET IN A PECK OF TROUBLE.

I WOULDN'T WANT THAT.

NO. AND THEN WE CAN GO OVER TO THE TOWN HALL FOR THAT PRACTICE.

YEAH.

BETTER HURRY, RAFE. COME ON.

YOU READY, RAFE? COME ON OUT.

WELL, YOU LOOK FINE, RAFE.

JUST AS FINE AS WINE.

I BELIEVE I'D RATHER SPEND ANOTHER TEN DAYS IN JAIL

THAN WEAR THESE GOVERNMENT CLOTHES.

YOU'LL FORGET IT, RAFE, WHEN YOU GET TO SINGING.

SINGING? I GOT ALL I CAN DO TO BREATHE.

Andy: YOU'LL GET USED TO IT.

WELL, HOWDY, MRS. HOLLISTER.

HOWDY, ANDY.

LOOK AT THAT RAFE.

DON'T HE LOOK GOOD?

Barney: ANDY? ANDY!

SURE IS SOMETHING, RAFE.

YOU LOOK GOOD ENOUGH TO GET BURIED.

I FEEL LIKE I'M FIXIN' TO.

THE MAYOR AND MRS. JEFFRIES

THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY IN HERE.

GOOD. WE'RE READY FOR 'EM.

AFTERNOON, MAYOR, MRS. JEFFRIES.

COME RIGHT ON IN.

YES, SIR.

LOOK WHO'S HERE, RAFE.

HOWDY, MAYOR, MRS. JEFFRIES.

DON'T RAFE LOOK NICE?

TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO STRANGLE.

THESE ARE THE TIGHTEST BRITCHES I EVER HAD ON.

UH, RAFE, YOU, UH, YOU WANT TO PUT MY GUITAR

IN THE CASE BACK THERE?

RAFE DOES LOOK NICE, DON'T HE?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

OH, I SUPPOSE HE LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH TO GET BY.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT

AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T ASSOCIATE WITH ANYONE.

Mayor: YES. YES.

YOU SEE TO THAT, SHERIFF.

AND NOW, THE FINAL PERFORMER IN OUR PROGRAM

COMES FROM RIGHT HERE

IN OUR HOST TOWN.

IT'S WITH GREAT PLEASURE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

THAT I INTRODUCE THE REPRESENTATIVE

FROM MAYBERRY-- MR. RAFE HOLLISTER.

Rafe: THANK YOU ALL.

I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU COMING OUT TONIGHT.

WELL, HOWDY, MAYOR, MRS. JEFFRIES.

Y'ALL HERE AGAIN?

AND ACCOMPANYING MR. HOLLISTER

ON GUITAR WILL BE SHERIFF ANDY TAYLOR.

MRS. DENNIS, I DIDN'T...

I MEAN, WE DIDN'T...

WELL, EVERYBODY ELSE IS SETTIN' DOWN

I RECKON I'LL SET, TOO.

READY, ANDY?

WHEN YOU'RE READY, MR. HOLLISTER.

WELL, GO AHEAD ON.

* LOOK DOWN, LOOK DOWN

* THAT LONESOME ROAD

* BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ON

* LOOK UP, LOOK UP

* AND SEEK YOUR MAKER

* 'FORE GABRIEL BLOWS HIS HORN

* WEARY TOTIN' SUCH A LOAD

* TRUDGIN' DOWN THAT LONESOME ROAD *

* LOOK DOWN, LOOK DOWN

* THAT LONESOME ROAD

* BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ON

* WEARY TOTIN' SUCH A LOAD

* TRUDGIN' DOWN THAT LONESOME ROAD *

* LOOK DOWN, LOOK DOWN

* THAT LONESOME ROAD

* BEFORE YOU TRAVEL ON

OH, HE'S REALLY WONDERFUL, ISN'T HE?

YES.

AND WHAT A PERFECTLY MARVELOUS IDEA

HAVING HIM APPEAR DRESSED THAT WAY.

IT MADE HIS SELECTION SO MUCH MORE AUTHENTIC.

MR. HOLLISTER, WILL YOU FAVOR US

WITH ANOTHER SELECTION?

WANT TO?

WHY NOT?

* RIDIN' ON THAT NEW RIVER TRAIN *

* RIDIN' ON THAT NEW RIVER TRAIN *

* THE SAME OLD TRAIN THAT BROUGHT ME HERE *

* GONNA CARRY ME BACK AGAIN

* DARLING, YOU CAN'T LOVE ONE *

* DARLING, YOU CAN'T LOVE ONE *

* YOU CAN'T LOVE ONE AND HAVE ANY FUN *

* OH, DARLING, YOU CAN'T LOVE ONE *

* DARLING, YOU CAN'T LOVE TWO *

* DARLING, YOU CAN'T LOVE TWO... *

HEY, BARN? HEY, BARN!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

GETTING READY FOR NEXT YEAR'S TRYOUTS.

SO SOON?

YEAH. I'M REALLY GONNA WORK ON IT THIS TIME.

IF YOU DON'T GO INVITING THE WHOLE TOWN TO ENTER,

I'M GONNA STAND A CHANCE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE WAY YOU INVITED RAFE HOLLISTER TO ENTER,

AND IT TURNED OUT HE HAD A BETTER SELECTION AND HE WON.

OH, COME ON, BARN.

THIS TIME I GOT THE PERFECT SELECTION.

WHAT? THE "CRAWDAD SONG."

HERE, GIVE ME SOME ACCOMPANIMENT.

ALL RIGHT.

* YOU GET A LINE AND I'LL GET A POLE *

* AND WE'LL GO DOWN TO THE CRAWDAD HOLE *

* OH, YOU GET A LINE AND I'LL GET A POLE *

BARNEY

I HATE TO BUTT IN, BUT AIN'T THE WAY IT GOES.

I THINK IT GOES LIKE THIS.

* YOU GET A LINE AND I'LL GET A POLE, HONEY *

* YOU GET A LINE AND I'LL GET A POLE, BABE *

* YOU GET A LINE AND I'LL GET A POLE *

* AND WE'LL GO DOWN TO THE CRAWDAD HOLE *

* HONEY, BABY, MINE

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT, OPE.

HEY, OPE, WHY DON'T YOU GO ALONG

TO THEM SINGING TRYOUTS NEXT YEAR?

HOW ABOUT IT, BARN? WANT TO TAKE OPE --

* YOU GET A LINE AND I'LL GET A POLE, HONEY *

* YOU GET A LINE AND I'LL GET A POLE, BABE *

* YOU GET A LINE AND I'LL GET A POLE *

* AND WE'LL GO DOWN TO THE CRAWDAD HOLE *

* HONEY, BABY, MINE
