    Just to add to this
    both Chester and emmanuel, have enquired about this song being available as a recording!
    If anyone, on this site is also, involved in the music business, either as a performer,
    or a producer, please get in touch with me, it would be good, if someone, Stateside recorded it, it would be like keeping it in the family!!!

    Hi, Chester,
    Thanks for your kind comments. We're in the process of re-recording the song, should there be enough interest, It was originally recorded, and published pre-digital days,and as you know, quality of sound has moved on since then.The Birthplace, have the words there, and it was also, published in the Big Trail journal, and The John Wayne Film Society journal, over here. I also did a similar one for Harry Carey, incorporating his films, and he and Marilyn, wrote, me , a lovely note, saying they had shown it to their friends and family, and that they would have it framed and displayed, in their home.

    John Wayne- Was a True Western Hero


    The wind blew snow over the plains that winter,
    Comancheros log fires lit The Trail Beyond
    'Neath Arizona Skies, came The Dawn Rider
    he was six-feet four, and sat Tall in the Saddle

    Known from El Dorado, to the Red River
    along the Lawless Frontier,North to Alaska
    this Hondo of Blue Steel, was The Shootist
    he was The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!

    His Overland Stage Raiders, Riders of Destiny
    The Horse Soldiers, to Fort Apache, they did ride
    The Searchers, The Cowboys, The Undefeated
    The Star Packer, came West of the Divide

    The blew snow over the plains that winter
    from the Rio Grande, Rio Lobo, Rio Bravo
    we shall never forget the way he stopped the Stagecoach
    he had True Grit, from Dakota, to The Alamo

    John Wayne was a true western hero,
    the greatest living legend ever seen
    John Wayne was a true western hero,
    John Wayne was the true American dream.
