The Sons of the Pioneers did several songs for the John Ford movies Wagon Master (in 1949) and Rio Grande in (1950).
The six members who made the Sons of the Pioneers famous in the late 1930s with their close-harmonied western style music were elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980. In 1995, they were inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
In 1977, the Smithsonian designated the Sons of the Pioneers as "national treasures". Through many changes to the line-up, the Sons of the Pioneers have continued to perform.

Hikari no ya mune wo sasu
Kimi wo wakaritainda yo
Nee... Oshiete
Surechigau kotoba ni chotto dake no koukai
Namida koborete
Isogashi kanjou wo kodou ni rinku suru
Chuuning tashikametainda
Daijina mono ga kasunde miete
Kyou mo risutaato
Sekai wa koi ni ochiteiru
Hikari no ya mune wo sasu
Zenbu wakaritainda yo
Nee... Kikasete
Tatta ichimiri ga tooku te
Kakenuketa hibi ni
Wasurenai wasurerarenai
Kagayaku ichi peeji
Oni ai no futari ni nandaka fukuzatsuna
Kimochi ga iru yo
Hajimete no kanjou kodou ni rinku suru
Tai on kei koware chatta kana
Jibun no koto wakaranai mama
Ano ko ni advice made shichatte
Mune ga itai ya
Sekai wa koi ni ochite iru
Hikari no ya mune wo sasu
Kidzuita kono omoi wa mou
Osoi no
Ano kono hou ga kawaii no
Shitteru yo dakedo
Umaku ikanai de nante ne
Nige dashita kuse ni
(Kimi no koto zenbu wakaritai tte omotchau)
(Kore ga koi datte hajimete kizuita no)
(Zettai furimuite hoshii)
(Oso katta kedo akirameta kunai)
(Datte suki dakara)
Haru ni saita hana ga koi wo shita
Hana wa hisshi ni ue wo muite waratta
Aoi natsu no tsubomi mo koi wo shita
Sakanai hana to kayaku no ni oi
Honto no kimochi kotoba ni shite
Daijina koto hanasetara
Kyou mo risutaato
Donkan na kimi dakara

Zenbu wakaritai nda yo nee
Kikasete
Taguri yosete mou zero senchi
Kakenuketa hibi ni
Wasurenai wasure rarenai
Kagayaku ichi peeji
Sekai wa koi ni ochiteiru
The world is falling in love
Hikari no ya mune wo sasu
Arrows of light piercing through the heart
Kimi wo wakaritainda yo
I want to understand you
Nee... Oshiete
Hey... tell me
Surechigau kotoba ni chotto dake no koukai
A bit of regret for the words we missed each other with
Namida koborete
Tears overflowing
Isogashi kanjou wo kodou ni rinku suru
Linking busy emotions to heartbeats
Chuuning tashikametainda
I want to confirm our tuning
Mokuteki bakkari torawarete
Only the purpose is captured
Daijina mono ga kasunde miete
Important things appear blurred
Kyou mo risutaato
Today's restart
Zenbu wakaritainda yo
I want to understand everything
Nee... Kikasete
Hey... let me hear it
Tatta ichimiri ga tooku te
Even a single step is far away
Kakenuketa hibi ni
In the days that have passed
Wasurenai wasurerarenai
I won't forget, I can't forget
Kagayaku ichi peeji
A shining page
Oni ai no futari ni nandaka fukuzatsuna
Somehow feelings of passionate love are complicated between the two of us
Kimochi ga iru yo
I have feelings
Hajimete no kanjou kodou ni rinku suru
Linking the heartbeat with the feelings of first love
Tai on kei koware chatta kana
I wonder if my high expectations have been broken
Jibun no koto wakaranai mama
While not understanding myself
Ano ko ni advice made shichatte
Even giving advice to that person
Mune ga itai ya
It hurts my heart
Kidzuita kono omoi wa mou
I realized that these feelings now
Osoi no
Are too late
Ano kono hou ga kawaii no
That way is cute, but
Shitteru yo dakedo
I know that, but
Umaku ikanai de nante ne
Things aren't going well, you know
(Kimi no koto zenbu wakaritai tte omotchau)
(I think I want to understand everything about you)
(Kore ga koi datte hajimete kizuita no)
(I realized that this is what love is for the first time)
(Zettai furimuite hoshii)
(I definitely want you to turn around)
(Oso katta kedo akirameta kunai)
(Though it's too late, I won't give up)
(Datte suki dakara)
(Because I love you)
Haru ni saita hana ga koi wo shita
Flowers that bloomed in spring fell in love
Hana wa hisshi ni ue wo muite waratta
The flowers proudly faced the sky and laughed
Aoi natsu no tsubomi mo koi wo shita
Even the buds of blue summer fell in love
Sakanai hana to kayaku no ni oi
Flowers that don't bloom and smoke fell in love too
Honto no kimochi kotoba ni shite
Putting true feelings into words
Daijina koto hanasetara
If I could talk about important things
Kyou mo risutaato
Today's restart
Donkan na kimi dakara
You're so clueless
Kuchi ni dashite iwanakya
I have to say it out loud
Ima kimi ni tsutaeru yo nee
I'm telling you now
Suki desu
I love you
Zenbu wakaritai nda yo nee
I want to understand everything, you know
Kikasete
Let me hear it
Taguri yosete mou zero senchi
I'm pulling closer, already zero distance
Kakenuketa hibi ni
In the days that have passed
Wasurenai wasure rarenai
I won't forget, I can't forget
Kagayaku ichi peeji

on The Devil's Great Grandson
"The Devil's Great Grandson" (Lyrics)
Recorded by Roy Rogers & The Son's Of The Pioneers
(Lyrics submitted by Bill Akins)
(The Devil's Great Grandson performed by the Sons Of The Pioneers and written by Bob Nolan. The tune was recorded in Los Angeles on December 14, 1937 and the group at that time was Roy Rogers, Bob Nolan, Lloyd Perryman and the Farr brothers.)
Old Skyball Paint was the devil's saint
His eyes were a fiery red
Good men have tried this horse to ride
And all of them are dead
Now I won't brag but I rode this nag
Till his blood began to boil
Then I hit the ground and ate three pound
Of good old western soil
Singin' Hi-ho lad don't you make me mad
I'm the devil's great grandson
And I'm doin' my best to tame the west
With my great big forty-four gun
(Light group harmony yodel)
I swore by heck
I'd break his neck for the jolt he gave my pride
I threw my noose on that old cayuse and once more took a ride
He turned around and soon
I found his tail where his head should be
So says says I Perhaps he's shy or he just don't care for me
Singin' Hi-ho lad don't you make me mad
I'm the devil's great grandson
And I'm doin' my best to tame the west
With my great big forty-four gun
(Only Roy Rogers STRONG yodeling, group harmony humming and ahhing along)
In town you see just to have a spree when
I meets old Sheriff Jim
With fistic fun and my big six-gun
I buys the town from him
For a whoop and a holler and a counterfeit dollar
Then I ask for a bill of sale
But my face turned red when the contract said just thirty days in jail
Singin' Hi-ho lad don't you make me mad
I'm the devil's great grandson
And I'm doin' my best to tame the west
With my great big forty-four gun
(Light group harmony yodel again)
Where the greasewood bats wear
Stetson hats and the bad men all run free
Where they sold the jail at a bargain sale
That's the land for me
Where the desert ants wear buckskin pants and help me rule the land
With the ants and the bats and my two gats
I'll rule with an iron hand
Singin' Hi-ho lad don't you make me mad
I'm the devil's great grandson
And I'm doin' my best to tame the west
With my great big forty-four gun
(Only Roy Rogers STRONG yodeling, group harmony humming and ahhing along)
