WALTER, ESE ENTRAÑABLE DESDENTADO

Por lo más sagrado del western en que nos educamos desde crios, transitaba un viejo vaquero, cascarrabias a ratos pero siempre querido que se llamaba Walter, de apellido Brennan.

El gruñón entrañable

Quiero referir una anécdota acerca de esa peculiaridad facial que le imprimía un plus de comicidad. 

 Aquí os dejo un momento antológico. La película "Rio Bravo". Interior de la oficina del sherriff. Instante de relax entre cuatro amigos. Ricky Nelson y Dean Martin ponen su voz, el "Duque" John Wayne y nuestro invitado de hoy su inefable presencia.

Podéis seguir a coro las canciones con las letras que hay más abajo.  ¡Larga vida al western...!

Lyrics - My rifle pony and me

Sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in the nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream

Purple light in the canyon
that is where I long to be
With my three good companions
just my rifle pony and me

Gonna hang my sombrero
on the limb of a tree
Coming home sweet my darling
just my rifle pony and me

Whippoorwill in the willow
sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
just my rifle pony and me

No more cows to be ropin'
No more strays will I see
'round the bend shell be waitin
For my rifle pony and me
For my rifle my pony and me
_______________ Lyrics - Cindy

I wish I was a apple hangin' in a tree
And everytime my sweetheart passed
She'd take a bite off me
She told me that she loved me
She called me sugar plum
She threw her arms around me
I thought my time had come.

Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
I'll marry you sometime.

I wish I had a needle
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew her in my pocket
And down the road I go
Cindy hugged and kissed me
She wrung her hands and cried
Swore I was the prettiest thing
That ever lived or died.

Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
I'll marry you sometime...
