03 Jun 06 - 12:59 AM (#1752030) Subject: RE: This Forum & American Folk Music From: GUEST My mother wrote this song! I have a recording on a 45 in the early to mid 50-s. I don't know who "bonnie Blue Eyes" is and don't really care. This song was written by Jean Sackett and recorded in Dallas, TX. I bellieve the man, and I have the information, ripped off my mom! Anyone heard of Jean Sackett and the Texarkana Wranglers? Please contact me. She is now 80 and in poor health. She deserves recognition for her contribution to to this websight! I was shocked to find HER song at all. Long, long, story, Prideful Drummer Daughter Debbie |

What can you tell us about your Mom's experiences? Sounds like they were rich, and it also sounds like she has a daughter to be proud of! A |

I hope you find this thread and return and tell us what song you're talking about. We're confused. -Joe Offer- |

03 Jun 06 - 11:25 PM (#1752510) Subject: RE: Jean Sackett and the Texarkana Wranglers From: Jeri Huh, Spaw? I read it that she doesn't know who the person referred to as 'Bonnie blue eyes' was. Of course, if it WAS that song, the Carter Family recorded it in the 1930s. Maybe Debbie's documentation goes back earlier, but copyright ownership isn't something Mudcat can determine. |

03 Jun 06 - 11:47 PM (#1752524) Subject: RE: Jean Sackett and the Texarkana Wranglers From: Big Mick yep, the link above takes you to a thread that lists it as BONNIE BLUE EYES (Trad. arr. A. P. Carter) Mick |

04 Jun 06 - 12:28 AM (#1752541) Subject: RE: Jean Sackett and the Texarkana Wranglers From: John O'L Here you can listen to a snippet of Bonnie Blue Eyes which seems to have different lyrics from the Carter song, and which is credited to Dave Fredrickson. Could this be what Debbie's talking about? |

04 Jun 06 - 08:52 AM (#1752670) Subject: RE: Jean Sackett and the Texarkana Wranglers From: catspaw49 Jeri.....I read that differently and after going back and reading it repeatedly I see what the rest of you read..........major "duh" here I guess. Doesn't help the fact I'm still confused.........then again, what's new about that? Spaw |

Rumsfeld is reporting to the President and the Cabinet. He says, "Three Brazilian soldiers were killed today in Iraq." The President says,"Oh, my God!" as he buries his head in his hands. The entire Cabinet is stunned. Usually George W. shows no reaction whatsoever to these reports. Just then, Bush looks up and says, "How many is a brazilian??" Spaw |

05 Jun 06 - 10:21 PM (#1753761) Subject: RE: Jean Sackett and the Texarkana Wranglers From: Richard Brandenburg No threadjack intended, but the name of a dear friend comes up in a curious thread... I'm going to be playing music in a couple of nights with Dave Fredrickson, and will ask him about this song, and where he learned it. Dave's a singer of Western songs, from the Central Valley of California. His website is www.davefredrickson.net. He's around the same age as Guest Debbie's mother, and learned much of his material from the radio in the thirties and forties. Who knows... he may even have heard a recording of Jean Sackett and the Texarcana Ramblers. Here's the song on his 1962 Folkways album: BONNIE BLUE EYES Learned from the Randolph Collection (IV, 209-10) with verses added from "My Last Gold Dollar" (IV, 114.) Good-bye little bonnie blue eyes Good-bye little bonnie blue eyes I'll see you again but God knows when Good-bye little bonnie blue eyes. I'm leavin' on the railroad train I'm leavin' on the railroad train Oh I love you God knows I do But I'm leavin' on the railroad train. I'm goin' out west this fall I'm goin' out west this fall I'm goin' out west I'll leave the one that I love best, Little bonnie don't ya weep for me. I'll sail on the ocean blue I'll sail on the ocean blue On the ocean blue I'll think about you But I'll sail on the ocean blue. Good-bye little bonnie blue eyes Good-bye little bonnie blue eyes I'll see you again but God knows when Good-bye little bonnie blue eyes. I must travel on down the line I must travel on down the line I love you my dear and I want you near But I must travel on down the line. Put your hand in mine Just put your little hand in mine If you love me like I love you Just put your little hand in mine. My last gold dollar is gone My last gold dollar is gone My board bill's due and my whiskey bill is too But my last gold dollar is gone. Back to first verse. |

07 Jun 06 - 01:57 PM (#1755097) Subject: RE: Jean Sackett and the Texarkana Wranglers From: Gene Could she be referring to a recording By Bonnie Blue Eyes rather than the song Bonnie Blue Eyes? Bob Atcher Born 1914 in Hardin County, KY. Died Oct 31, 1993. Bob Atcher was one of the most popular country music entertainers of the post-World War II era, enjoying a 21 year career at OKeh and Columbia Records, as well as major radio stardom on WLS's National Barn Dance out of Chicago. His range of material ran from traditional country and comic novelty songs to folk. By the early 1930's, he'd made his debut on radio on WHAS out of Louisville, and over the next few years appeared on several small stations across the south and midwest. In 1939, Atcher got his first big break and when he got a regular spot on WGBM in Chicago, a daily program that was picked up nationally by the CBS radio network. ***************** During the years 1939-42, many of Atcher's singles were credited to duets with "Bonnie Blue Eyes" (aka Loretta Applegate)-their records together included the comical "Answer to You Are My Sunshine" and "Pins and Needles (In My Heart)." Atcher made his biggest career move in 1948 when he joined the Chicago National Barn Dance on WLS. At that time, the National Barn Dance was still one of the two biggest showcases for country music, and he became one of the show's most popular stars over the next 10 years. Atcher left Columbia in 1950 for Capitol Records, and later recorded for Kapp Records. He remained a star on the National Barn Dance into the 1960's, and later rejoined Columbia Records. |
