As teenagers in 1932, the Willis Brothers formed the Oklahoma Wranglers, formed as a band, playing a blend of Western swing and cowboy. Skeeter Willis sang and fiddled; Guy sang lead and played guitar; and, in the original lineup, eldest brother Joe played along. The Willis Brothers played on Shawnee, OK's KGEF throughout the '30s. In 1939, Joe married and left, and Vic, who played accordion, piano, and sang, joined. The brothers moved to Kansas City to appear on Brush Street Follies until 1942, when they disbanded to fight in the war. Reunited in 1946, they joined the Grand Ole Opry and signed to Sterling Records, and had the distinction of backing Hank Williams on his first recordings. After leaving the Opry in 1949, the Willis Brothers toured with Eddy Arnold until 1957 and appeared in the films Feuding Rhythm and Hoe Down. In an attempt to play to an audience beyond just Western fans, the Oklahoma Wranglers name was dropped for the Willis Brothers. The band recorded steadily with Mercury, RCA, and Coral before signing with Starday and finally charting with the truck-driving country hit Give Me 40 Acres (To Turn This Rig Around) in 1964. Back at the Opry, the Willis Brothers remained there until Vic died at 73 in a 1995 car crash. • http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-wi... • GIVE ME 40 ACRES (TO TURN THIS RIG AROUND) • (Earl Green / John William Greene) • The Willis Brothers - 1964 • He was headin' into Boston in a big, long diesel truck • It was his first trip to Boston, he was having lots of luck • He was going the wrong direction down a one-way street in town • And this is what he said when the police chased him down. • CHORUS: • Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around • It's the easiest way that I've found ... • Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown • But I need forty acres to turn this rig around. • When he finally found where to unload, he had a dreadful shock • His trailer pointed toward the road and his cab right to the dock • And as he looked around him through the tears he made this sound • Oh, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. • CHORUS • When he finally got unloaded, he was glad to leave the town • He was very, very happy, headin' back to Alabam' • When up ahead he saw a sign, said; You are Northward bound. • He said; Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. • He was driving down the right lane, when ahead he saw a sign • Now he's gotta make a left turn, but he cannot get in line • And the tears were streaming down his cheeks and they all heard him yell • Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to ... ! • CHORUS • http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/son... • thanks for visiting keep on truckin' • .
