The Wonderful One-Hoss Shay

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents Lauren Sandley's version of the wonderful one-host Shea by Oliver Wendell Holmes, starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest Lucille Norman.

Acquire is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another musical premiere is brought to you by the American Railroads. The same railroads that bring you the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and the multitude of other things that you use in your daily life.

The same railroads that bring you the finest, insane, comfortable, all-weather transportation at low cost. And now here is our star, Gordon McAdray. Thank you, Mar-in-O'Nother, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, Lucille Norman and I are each going to be three different people, as we ride clean through the nineteenth century in the wonderful one Horshey.

And we'll hear the story in the words of the man who wrote the famous poem, Mr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. Have you heard of the wonderful one Horshey that was built in such a logical way, it ran a hundred years to a day, and then of a sudden it...

But stay I'll tell you what happened without delay Tell me tell me build it such a logical way Gonna run a spring Built for a hundred years if ever runs at home in making a shame. I'll tell you what You're bound to find a weaker spot That's the reason a shade breaks down, though it never wears out.

I'm gonna build me a one horse shade. Tommy! Tommy! Built to last in a mold and brain. One of the one horse shade. From the run of night. From the run of day. Gonna run for a hundred years.
