NOTES:
1. “…Cayuse, is an archaic term used in the American West, usually referring to a feral or low-quality
horse or pony. …”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayuse_horse
2. “…In 1945, the song was sung again as the title tune of another Roy Rogers film, Don't Fence Me In
(1945), in which Dale Evans plays a magazine reporter who comes to Roy Rogers' and Gabby Whittaker's
(George "Gabby" Hayes) ranch to research her story about a legendary late gunslinger. When it's revealed
that Whittaker is actually the supposedly dead outlaw, Rogers must clear his name. Rogers and The Sons of
the Pioneers perform songs, including the Cole Porter title tune. The next year (1946), a biopic about
Cole Porter titled Night and Day used a clip from ‘Hollywood Canteen’ of Rogers singing "Don't Fence Me
In.”…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Fence_Me_In_(song)#Roy_Rogers_and_.22Don.27t_Fence_Me_In.22
