Happy Trails - Roy Rogers' & Dale Evans' Theme Song

Roy Rogers always signed his autographs with "Trails of Happiness" or "Happy Trails, Roy Rogers". In 1950, just minutes before a radio show, Dale Evans felt that Roy needed a theme song, so she scribbled these words on an envelope. The title came easy and in some forty minutes Dale taught the words to Happy Trails to Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers.

Lyrics to Happy Trails

by Dale Evans Rogers

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.
