Fun Autry Fact:

According to a 1948 Life magazine article, "if [Gene's records] were all shipped to one place, [they] would make up a freight train solid with Western songs and be more than a mile long."

It's My Lazy Day
from Twilight on the Rio Grande (1947)


The Cass County Boys entertain some pretty girls and a crowd of onlookers with their upbeat version of "It's My Lazy Day" in both English and Spanish from Gene Autry's 1947 Republic Pictures film Twilight on the Rio Grande. That's Sterling Holloway and Gene riding into town with Champion, Jr. Wonder Horse of the West doing the fancy dancing.
