Lyr Req: Way Out There

Seeking Lyrics and writer name for song/yodel "Way Out There". I believe it is The Sons of The Pioneers, but not sure. The most common recording I have is Seeger/Guthrie in concert singing/yodeling the song. Thanks from a newbe.

Billy, here's a quote taken from here


WAY OUT THERE - Roy Rogers & The Sons Of The Pioneers
(3/1/47) Saturday Night Roundup rehearsal
Bob Nolan spent a few years riding the rails and wandering around the country before joining with Roy Rogers and Tim Spencer to form The Pioneer Trio, which grew into The Sons Of The Pioneers. The first song Bob wrote, "Way Out There," was inspired by his roving days. When The Pioneer Trio auditioned at KFWB it was their singing and yodeling on this song that got them hired by the radio station. In 1946 the Pioneers performed it in Roy's film Song Of Arizona. Roy teams here with Bob and Tim along with the rest of the Pioneers (Lloyd Perryman, Hugh and Karl Farr, and Pat Brady) on this great Pioneer song.

Hope this helps....and is the right song!!!
best wishes, Yvonne

Billy, Is that Arlo Guthrie you have on record with Pete Seeger? Dr John
