All music that Burl Ives performs in the Hollywood cowboy movie, Smoky, 1946. (Video edited by MJmcnult). Great old traditionals sung by this icon, who is probably best known for his role as the snowman - narrator of the old Christmas TV show, "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer", from 1966. This is one of those great classic Westerns where a horse is the star. Note: These are songs as they appear in the film, some of which are incomplete. There is no official released full soundtrack.
This is my own edit of the movie focusing only on the songs by Burl Ives. If you dislike this please leave a comment explaining why.

I mean no copyright infringement so please buy this video now from Turner Classic Movies or Amazon.
