Song from the movie Hide-Out (1934)

Tools    





There is a tune that Robert Montgomery starts to whistle while he and Maureen O'Sullivan are picking cherries in a tree at the farm where he is hiding out, and I can't place the tune. Does anyone know the name of the song?



Although they use chicken reel in the movie, it's not the tune I'm looking for.



Chicken reel is played after the song in question.



The song you're looking for is the famous old-time novelty number "The Whistler And His Dog".
Lots of available recordings of it on YouTube.



Sweeeet! Many thanks, Colonel Blimp, I've been searching for this tune a long time.
