Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-students show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroad presents the Lilling Victor Herbert-Opharetta Eileen, starring Gordon MacRae and his charming young guest, Lucille Norman. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon.

Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroad. The same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.

Tonight, America's Railroad salute the Campfire Girl, an organization which for 43 years has worked to develop alert citizens and homemakers makers through a program which combines fun, friendship and high ideal for girls between the ages of 7 and 18. Best wishes on your birthday tomorrow, campfire girls everywhere. And now here is our star, Gordon McRae.

Thank you, Mother Miller. In the top of the evening to you ladies and gentlemen, lovely Lucille Norman will sing the title role of Eileen and I'll be a Dublin and daredevilly barrio day. Any night long about moonrise, you can find me at the water's edge, trickin' the British with a bit of the smugglers' arms.

While ships may sail the sea, one man of us is free. While hare and sends us a misty moon. Oh, why not take an integration? Oh, if France and Spain have something we can do.

Make what be, just make it to be good. So free of tax or duty. We met a sorrowful day, then bring to the mist, for the moon. I'd fight this black with rain and wind, and wave it, take through the bed of all, when the sun comes out again.
