Autry, Gene - Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Lyrics






You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"

    Wow i heard this in the morning and now in the night is so many people listening this song!
    Wow, escuché esto en la mañana y ahora en la noche hay tanta gente escuchando a esta cancion

  8. J.... B....

    My favorite version. My mom bought this record for me when i was very young, about 5 or 6 yrs old. I would ride my rocking horse in our living room and play this over and over. My mom just passed away last week. I love you mom and miss you so terribly that i have this aching pain.

    J.... B....

    I lost my grandpa this passed Saturday, the 21st and this was his favorite Christmas song. He always played Gene autrys version for me when I was a kid and sang along with me. I miss him so much I'm completely broken this Christmas. But i know he'd want me to carry on the fun traditions of Christmas for my kids so that's what I'm doing even tho it pains me!

    J.... B....

    @Kayla Quinn I am sorry for your loss. I love Gene Autry's voice too. Stay strong 💪

  9. p.... n....

    Believe it or not, this is the first time I have heard Gene's version of this song, and it's GRRREATT.

    p.... n....

    It's the most famous version of the song. If you haven't heard his version, you must be living under a rock

  10. A.... G....

    Grandma got rolled over by rudolph lol

  11. S.... H....

    My baby brother, Art, loved this album. Mother wrote his name on it. I kept it all these years. Thank you for uploading it.

  12. k.... v....

    Oh that old reindeer

  13. P.... M....

    Best version by far!!! Takes me back to a great time.

  14. -.... B....

    I didn't think about this until recently. But does anyone else besides me feel weird about everything in this song being in past-tense? It's almost like something bad happened to Rudolph before this song was written.

  15. G.... ....

    This gets me in the Christmas spirit!!!

  16. C.... W....

    Live this song

    The first time I remember hearing this was in Kansas City, Kansas I do not know the place, but there was a statue of Rudolph and they were playing this song. It had to be in December 1949. My younger brother was just three months old. I was three. It was snowing. It is just a wonderful memory of a long time ago.

    Great memories when I was a little guy, Gene Autry voice is classic for this Christmas song. I wish I could go back in time, it was great. Merry Christmas everyone.

  35. L.... M....

    My favorite Christmas song ❤

  36. B.... B....

    First they couldn’t find a spot for Rudolph. But then they realized the very things that made him different made him very special.

  37. A.... L....

    Its crazy that Gene Autry sung so much different music.

  38. c.... d....

    Love it

  39. T.... ....

    I remember when I was little, we were driving home from our family-friends’ house on Christmas Eve night, and I saw one of those red blinking airplane signal things in the sky and I got so excited because I thought it was Rudolph!

    This song is about bullying and needs to be banned. Oh sorry I was pretending to be a liberal
    I love this song

  47. A.... j....

    this is always a great and wonderful classic gem of a Christmas gem to treasure every year at this time happy Christmas Eve to all and have a great and blessed Christmas on tomorrow morning well peace everyone😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

    My Mama loved this album!!
    In the mid 70's she picked up a new one at Woolworths as a Christmas gift. It had a skip in it. She returned it and that one had a skip in the very same spot! This went on a few times before she gave up. 😞

    This is tied with the Crystals for my favorite recording of this song. One of my gma's ex-coworkers was telling me recently that she liked Gene Autry's performance of it back when it first came out. Her father was a German-speaking farmer in rural Michigan (don't know if he was an immigrant or not) whose first name was Rudolph, and she and her siblings used to joke with him about him sharing his name with this song's titular hero (which he took in good humor.) A very Merry Christmas and Happy 2019 to all of you!

    HAPPY NATIONAL CUPCAKE DAY!

  53. E.... G....

    I was harassed as a child...so I identify with this song

  54. L.... K....

    Probably my favorite version of Rudolph. Only Gene.....!

  55. E.... R....

    1:17-2:12 is my favorite part

  56. T.... ....

    Autry's version was done at the end of a recording session. Only a few takes, and they knew they had a classic on their hands.

  57. E.... C....

    I remember this when it came out in 1948-49! I was only 6,and it still thrills me at 75 ! No one can replace "Gene" .

  58. D.... U....

    The amazing thing about this song is that initially, Gene Autry did not want to record "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer." It was at the urging of his wife that he finally gave in and "cut the disk" apparently at the end of a recording session of other songs he was recording. And the rest is history.

  73. S.... C....

    This is the first recording of Rudolph ever. Rudolph was born in Chicago and was the Mascot for the Montgomery Ward Store!

  74. t.... m....

    1st #1 hit of the 50s

    t.... m....

    No one cares

  75. B.... O....

    Columbia Records Non Breakable Green Cover with Holly Leaves 1949, 10"

  76. C.... A....

    I still have that record and play it almost every Christmas. Especially while my kids were growing up.

  77. C.... M....

    My grandma bought me the album in 1960 when I was 5. It now brings tears to my eyes when I hear the songs. Christmas now seems so commercialized. My grandparents were Mexican immigrants. All our extended family would gather in the kitchen for making tamales. I drove my aunt's crazy cuz I played that album all day so many years ago in my tiny hometown in South Texas. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! !

    C.... M....

    What a lovely story, Conrado. Wishing you many more Happy Christmases! Love from The Netherlands

    C.... M....

    I love that! Just imagine how good those tamales would have been before you sabotaged their work. ;)

    C.... M....

    No tamales, but I too drove my family nuts playing this over and over and over-- in Wisconsin. Whodathunkit!?

    C.... M....

    What a nice way to be driven crazy! Felice Navidad!

  78. t.... h....

    We still have this album. Its simply priceless to us, many, many memories.

  79. J.... P....

    Oh the old Rudolph...That's what he named his cock...True story.

  80. D.... D....

    Christmas is in one week!

  81. G.... L....

    Check that. It fails to promote inclusivness.

  82. G.... L....

    This song should be banned! The reindeer are excluding Rudolph from the group just because he's different! The song fails to promote diversity and exclusivness! What kind of message are we sending to our children?

  83. J.... V....

    I was about 6 (in 1951) when I first heard Gene Autry sing this song over the radio.

  84. P.... L....

    Gene, after all these years your rendition of this song is hard to beat !!

  85. r.... ....

    HAPPY NATIONAL UNDERDOG DAY!

  86. P.... L....

    I always liked Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Gene Autry was famous as a cowboy !!
