Yaller, Yaller Gold

Yaller, Yaller Gold is a song from the 1955 Davy Crockett serial and in the 1956 compilation film, Davy Crockett and the River Pirates. It is heard in the fifth and last episode, "Davy Crockett and the River Pirates".
==Background==
It is first heard in the scene where Davy Crockett and his group arrive at the bar to attract a minstrel named Colonel Plug (inaccurately depicted as a mischief maker whereas he was as an outlaw in real life) in a plan to defeat the pirates (albeit singing the "Midnight Sky" verse) and later (in a standard verse) when Plug is recruited by Davy's group on their way to face them. The song's lyrics describe Plug who longs for wanting for a woman to fall in love with.

Plug: There was a widow in New Madrid
A-smokin' a pipe and a-chawin' on a quid
When she puckered up her lips, I run for my life
But she run me down, and now she is my wife
Oh, her lips is red
And her eyes is bold
And her hair's the color of yaller
Yaller gold 
The color of yaller, yaller
Yaller gold 
Chorus: The river is long and the moon is high
I want a gal before I die
A pretty little gal with a turned-up nose
And dancin' music in her twinklin' toes
Oh, her lips is red
And her eyes is bold
Her hair's the color of yaller
Yaller gold 
The color of yaller, yaller
Yaller gold
|-|Midnight Sky=
Oh, the river is long and the moon is high
And I want a gal before I die
Pretty little gal with a turned-up nose
And dancin' music in her twinklin' toes
Oh, her cheeks is pink
And her smile is shy
And her hair's the color of midnight
Midnight sky
The color of midnight, midnight
Midnight sky
