Howdy Jack,

I don't know for sure which versions fo these songs were used in the movies that you mention, but I would suggest checking DT's versions to see if they are what you need. I quickly found 4 versions of Clementine (you probably want the first one) and wrangler brought me to Little Joe, the Wrangler which may be what you want.

Allinkausay, Bill

The following lyrics are copied from http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Lounge/2782/follow_river.txt and corrected by listening to a sound sample.

FOLLOW THE RIVER
Words, Ned Washington. Music, Dimitri Tiomkin.

Follow the river. The river knows the way.
Come to me, I pray. I miss you more each day.
Follow the river wherever you may be.
Follow the river back to me.

Sometimes I feel like I could jump to the moon and tear the sky apart.
Does it matter how full the moon if you've an empty heart?
Bring back the great love, the love that once we knew.
Make my dream come true, the dream I had with you....

[Sung by James Stewart in the film "Night Passage," 1957. Also performed by the London Studio Symphony Orchestra and the John McCarthy Singers on "The Western Film World of Dimitri Tiomkin," Unicorn CD #2011, 1980.]

I transcribed the following excerpt from a sound sample. It sounded as if it came straight from the soundtrack.

YOU CAN'T GET FAR WITHOUT A RAILROAD
Words, Ned Washington. Music, Dimitri Tiomkin.

You can't get far without a railroad.
You can't get far without a railroad.
You gotta have an engine and you gotta have a track.
Oh, you can't get far without a railroad.

[Sung by James Stewart in the film "Night Passage," 1957; also on the various-artists album "Wand'rin' Star," Bear Family CD #16166, 1999.]

Just heard the two above in the movie noted with James Stewart. His bio says the only reason he took the part was to show off his accordion skills. It was great!

Forgot to say "Thanks, Jim!" I knew I'd find them on Mudcat.

Thanks to you, too, Q. I know I've seen parts of Destry, at least, but don't remember THAT version of Little Joe! Have to rent the video!
