What is the name of the song & the artist?

Question

What is the name of the song that has the lyrics "There was Hopalong Cassidy, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James. There were 10,000 Indians, I can't remember their names."

Answer 1

I think it is called "Along Come Hopalong Cassidy" and it's by Hans Meier.

This is from the website I quoted below:

Then there was "Along Come Hoplaong Cassidy." Ever hear of this song? Well, there's an interesting story connected to it...

The man who wrote and recorded the song was Hans Meier-- he later changed back to his real name: Braden Corby. He's a Canadian singer who was known as "The Gentleman Balladeer." About 1980, while he was performing at a pub, he met Lyle Crosbie, who had some hit records in the U.S. Crosbie was part owner of a recording studio in Vancouver, so both of them went in and recorded Hans Meier's song,"Along Come Hopalong Cassidy." It was released in 1981 as a 45 RPM on the Double A Records label.

As Corby describes it on his website:

"The song got virtually no airplay -- except for a small town in southern Alberta--Stettler--there we rocketed to the number 6 spot.

My claim to fame is that I hit the top ten in Stettler, Alberta. I gave up recording after that and stuck to live entertainment."

But there are some who still remember his song.

Here's the chorus to his song with all sorts of western heros mentioned:

But Along Come Hopalong Cassidy,
Maverick, and Billy the Kid,
Well I'd a been lost
If they hadn't showed up when they did, There was even Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill, Jesse James,
And 2,000 calvary...Hell, I don't remember their names.
