Festus sang the first verse of this song in the episode "Comanches is Soft" from season 9. He plays foil to Burt Reynolds' character "Quint" in what has to be one of Gunsmoke's funniest episodes.

Good ol' Festus and his spurs. He'll never sneak up on anyone wearing those things. Lol 😄 I love Festus. He's my favorite character on the show.

I love Festuses long winded stories about 'Us Haggens' 😆😆

Ken Curtis had SUCH a talent! He could do comedy, drama, and sing in different keys!! What a performer. I really liked the mood of this scene, the direction, script and acting was top notch! 😀😀 Long live Festus!!

Ken Curtis was one of the reasons why I love Gunsmoke. Plus I loved the rest of the cast too.

I remember when my family got a tv set. As long as I can remember, Gunsmoke was one of my favorite shows. And of all the characters, I think Festus was my favorite.

What's not to like about festus he is really a colorful character one I enjoy very much😁🖒👏❤🐎🐎🐎 watch out for a twisty

Mr. Curtis was a great actor, entertainer and well know for his voice. There are several old John Wayne movies with him singing and one of his best noted is when guest stared on Have Gun Will Travel. Thank you for viewing and I hope you enjoyed my silly memories.

Remember the first time I saw Ken Curtis as himself in a John Wayne movie, threw me off, cause all I'd ever seen him as Festus! Great character great actor

He was one of the Sons of the Pioneers!

Ken Curtis was so very talented and nothing like his character of Festus. But he gave such personality and charm to Festus that we just couldn't help but love him. Always enjoyed it when Festus sang and when he told one of his tall tales!

One of my all time favorite shows and certainly my favorite western. Miss Kitty was such a pretty lady. I always wondered why she and Marshall Dillon never got married after 20 years!

Such a GR8 singer and actor ❤

One of the greatest entertainers in television history!!!!!

Thank's for watching, I love these songs from Gunsmoke they just make you smile.

These were some of the episodes when Jim Arness would go surfing in Hawaii and drop in to say hi or bye

I had the honor and privilege to shake hands with Festus at the American Royal in KC about fifty years ago when he autographed a picture for me. Golly bill Doc, I remember it like it was yesterday. It's says with a whole heap of good wishes Ken "Festus" Curtis. One of the best memories I have.

I think it's a particularly unique kind of tornado, which did unusual things, in the mind of Festus.

Awesome

FESTUS,,,,, UNIQUE

Good luck trying to get this song out of ‘yer head!

I liked Ken in 'The Quiet Man' - plays and sings in the pub scenes.

I wonder why they didn't have Ken playing the guitar. From what I've seen, he's fairly talented (and with a much better singing voice than what he could display here). Wasn't he in the Sons Of The Pioneers?

Sons of The Pioneers "Cool Clear Water" look'it up :)

Ken Curtis was one of the "Sons of the Pioneers" for four years. He also sang with Tommy Dorsey's band after Frank Sinatra left. All that being said... I like Dennis Weaver. Better actor and he seems like a man who was in the civil war.

I named my cat Festus and that cat could almost talk

I loved him out of character....soooo sexy!

Them there twistys are terrible

When Fetus showed up, Chester had to change his name and go back east .... McCloud was his new name
