[first lines]
[after singing 'The Marshal of Jackson Hole, Wyomin'" together]
Smokey : Not many people know that tune, stranger.
Tex : Well, that's the very same thing I was about to say to you.
Smokey : That song was written in honor of a partner of mine.
Tex : You mean Tex Williams?
Smokey : None other. Me and Tex is just like that! I was with him when he cleaned the Chuck Gorman gang out of Jackson Hole. Shoulder to shoulder we stood and they come at us from all sides. We blazed away until our six-guns got so hot they well-nigh went on fire. The air was blue with smoke and you couldn't see a foot in front of ya. That's how I got the handle onto my name - Smokey. Smokey Rogers they call me back in Wyoming.
