Great video. Beautifully written and orchestrated theme. Eastwood's best movie, in my opinion, it had it all: the plot, the characters, the great movie lines and the music. And for Les Lesser today, thank you for your unforgettable performance, rest in peace.
Josey Wales : Whenever I get to likin' somebody , they ain't around very long . Lone Wati : I notice when you get to disliking somebody , there not around very long either .
This boy was brought up in a time of blood and dying and never questioned a bit of it. He never turned his back on his folks or his kind. I rode with him… and I got no complaints.
'Whenever I get to likin' someone, they ain't around very long...' 'I've noticed, when you get to DISlikin' someone, they ain't around very long neither....'
The syncopation and arrangement are not period. but the sind parts are "The Girl i left Behind Me", and a hornpipe, the name of which eludes me right now. both were period tunes played on fifes during the Civil War. All in all an interesting piece of music.
It was from a book called, "Gone to Texas" that the screenplay was made of. I think the main theme is what does a man when his whole world just goes to hell and loses everything and then he does anything and everything to survive and try to return to some form of normality. The American Civil War killed 600,000 people and this sort of scenario happened probably many times as it does in all such horrible wars.
@Remington1875 I have a Uberti Remington 1858 "New Army" in .44 caliber. I'm surprised how accurate it is out to about 40 yards or so. I recovered some of the balls that had been fired and found that they were swaged down to cylinders instead of round balls. I'm sure that must be the reason for the accuracy. A very nice reproduction.
"It's for lookin' through" and... Please Look For The "Star Wars"-"Imperial Walker" which is about 1/2 way through this video, slipped in there by the original poster. It is only a second, so you must watch carefully!
He means that this world is nothing but world... But the war makes the man... and it is what is left of him that comes out of the ditch, where he was shot and left for dead... He got up and commanded once again!
Fletcher: You promised me those men would be treated decently. Sen. Lane: They were treated decently. They were decently fed, and then they were decently shot.
Fletcher: I think I'll go down to Mexico to try to find him. Josey Wales: And then? Fletcher: He's got the first move. I owe him that. I think I'll try to tell him the war is over. What do you say, Mr. Wilson? Josey Wales: I reckon so. I guess we all died a little in that damn war.
Also... I would like to direct your attention toward the middle of the post. A "Star Wars Imperial Walker" has been inserted to the seen... I just wonder if you see it! This has nothing to do with me... Just the guy who posted it.
Does anyone know the name of the fife and drum cadence that the theme is based on? I'm sure it's an actual cadence used by the army at some point, but I haven't been able to track it down yet.
It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life
The Outlaw Josey Wales was one of the first Clint Eastwood movies I ever saw, and to this day it's in my top three.

Best western ever! Thumbs up if you agree.
It is war.
A soldiers ballad.
I like it.
Like,
"It turns me on"
The percussion and then the wood winds are excellent!
Thanks much! Having the title, I've found tons of references now.
I apologize for not checking all of the posts here, though ;)
I love this movie, and I love you guys for comming here, I think this is going to become a cult classic!
Glad you approve Clint You made a fine movie
My man Clint is one of a kind.
It may be rude to him, but I think it's the best of his many masterpieces.
Syncopation! This is one of the best!
greatest western of all time? i recon so.

Atvmidlands UK
Great movie.
Oh, my God! It's Josey Wales!
Easily the BEST movie of ALL time!!!! In all categories!!!!!
Dying ain't much of a living, boy!
well mr carpetbagger, we got something in this territory called the Missouri boat ride !
This boy was brought up in a time of blood and dying and never questioned a bit of it. He never turned his back on his folks or his kind. I rode with him… and I got no complaints.
Thanks for that info I never realised it was based on an actual Military composition You have to admit thoug its a fabulous interpretation
'Whenever I get to likin' someone, they ain't around very long...'
'I've noticed, when you get to DISlikin' someone, they ain't around very long neither....'

awesome
I'm just giving you life and your giving me life
"Dyin' ain't much of a living, boy." another classic quote from an awesome film!
For a Few Dollars More does it for me. This is good too, I like Jerry Fielding's work a lot.
Bravo!
The song is "old 1812" or simply "1812". The tune has it's origins in the American Revolution, when it was known as "Welcome Here Again".
"There's another saying in Missouri, Senator. Don't piss on my back and tell me its rainin'">
Easy man to follow; Leaves dead men wherever he's been

I love The Outlaw Josey Whales. It's my favorite Eastwood western, besides High Plains Drifter. Chief Dan George was great in it.
Love it & Jerry Fielding's version of 'Old 1812'. Class score for a class film. Think I'll go and chaw some tabaci.

Don't piss up my back and tell me it's raining classic
I hear the "Liverpool Hornpipe" being played too.
Great soundtrack ;-)
I'm pert as a ruttin buck!
Aldo Uberti firearms is currently the only company that reproduces the 1847 Colt Walker.
"It's for lookin' through"
and...
Please Look For The "Star Wars"-"Imperial Walker" which is about 1/2 way through this video, slipped in there by the original poster.
It is only a second, so you must watch carefully!
I'm inclined to agree with you.
I've got some Hard Candy. It's not for eaten, it's for look'n!
that some sick ass drums 😍😍
"I'm gettin better at sneaking up on you."
jerry fielding rocks
"I ain't draggin' you all over Hell's Creation drippin' off blood over half of Missouri!"
aint this the one where he spits on everything?
Laughed my ass of when he put a mouthful of tobacco between the eyes of the dog!
He means that this world is nothing but world...
But the war makes the man...
and it is what is left of him that comes out of the ditch,
where he was shot and left for dead...
He got up and commanded once again!
Ridin ain't got no end.
Fletcher: You promised me those men would be treated decently.
Sen. Lane: They were treated decently. They were decently fed, and then they were decently shot.
It's a modern adaptation of the "Old 1812 - Quickstep"
Endeavor to persevere ......
To this day there is a Red Leg Battalion. Hardcore, battle-hardened training unit in TX. Things have changed a bit...
Original title to piece is "Old 1812". Ashame none of OJW sites acknowledge this
dont piss down my back and tell me its rainin!
I reckon so.
Fletcher: I think I'll go down to Mexico to try to find him.
Josey Wales: And then?
Fletcher: He's got the first move. I owe him that. I think I'll try to tell him the war is over. What do you say, Mr. Wilson?
Josey Wales: I reckon so. I guess we all died a little in that damn war.
Clint was perhaps the next John Wayne when it comes to tough guy heroes.
You boys gonna draw those pistols or whistle Dixie??
Always with them negative waves, Moriarty! ALWAYS WITH THEM NEGATIVE WAVES!
Oh, wait...
Around here we call this the Missouri Boat Ride
Also...
I would like to direct your attention toward the middle of the post.

I just wonder if you see it!
This has nothing to do with me...

I don't want to hear Josey Wales dead...I want to see Josey Wales dead.
ever seen The Searchers?
Does anyone know the name of the fife and drum cadence that the theme is based on? I'm sure it's an actual cadence used by the army at some point, but I haven't been able to track it down yet.
And Hell is where he's headed.
He'll be waiting there for us Senator.
"F@#('em, birds gotta eat same as worms."
"Endeavor to persevere" -
When we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.
