A friend of mine has given me a poser. I can't find the answer, but you mudcatters, I am sure will be able to answer this one.

Friends came over the othere night and we were reminiscing.
The subject of William Boyd and the old hopalong cassidy films came up and in turn the lyrics to the song.
ive searched and found lyrics to the tv series and they are differant from what i remember of the films.

i seem to remember singing..........

hopalong cassidy, clipperty clipperty clop. hopalong cassidy, clipperty clipperty clop, he rides by day he rides by night. his hands on his guns cause he can fight..........

End of quote

I have told him that he is confusing it with Mule Train, but he has kicked that into touch and is adament that their are lyrics to Hopalong Cassidy that have the above words in.

So to shut him up and prove him wrong can anybody help me please.

All he can find is the following lyrics. So don't feed this info back as he already has them.

Here he comes, here he comes
There's the trumpets, there's the drums, here he comes.
Hopalong Cassidy, here he comes.

humming to tune

There he goes, on his way,
Down the trail the cowboy way.
Hopalong Cassidy, Hopalong Cassidy.

He returns, soon again,
There's no use to say goodbye until then.
Hopalong Cassidy, so long Hopalong.
