In the summer of 1936, The Hills of Old Wyoming the the title and basis for an installment of Fleischer's Screen Songs series. The film was the first screen appearance of composer and actor Curt Massey, who performs the title song with his band The Westerners (which includes his brother and sister). The group was featured again the following year in the 1937 Screen Songs short Twilight On The Trail. Both of the films featured the band in live-action accompanied by The Bouncing Ball. Curt Massey would later be well-known as a composer and actor on television, such The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Two months before the Screen Songs short for The Hills of Old Wyoming was released, the song was prominently featured in the 1936 film Palm Springs, starring Frances Langford. The song also inspired another film in 1937 - the 10th of 66 feature-length installments of the Hopalong Cassidy series.

THE HILLS OF OLD WYOMIN'
Let me ride on a trail in the hills of old Wyomin'
Where the coyotes wail in the gloamin'
For it's there where my hearts at home.
--- Hum or whistle ---
In the night let me rest,
With the blue sky for my ceilin'
'Till the winds lullaby comes stealin'
From the hills where my hearts at home.
--- Hum or whistle ---
Wake with a song, wake with the sun...
Saddle to mend. cattle to tend.
Plenty to be done.
Let me live on the range
Where a man has room to roam in
And dream of his love in the gloamin'
In the hills of old Wyomin'.
In the hills of old Wyomin'...
Let me ride on a trail in the hills of old Wyomin'
Where the coyotes wail in the gloamin'
For it's there where my hearts at home.
--- Hum or whistle ---
In the night let me rest,
With the blue sky for my ceilin'
'Till the winds lullaby comes stealin'
From the hills where my hearts at home.
--- Hum or whistle ---
Wake with a song, wake with the sun...
Saddle to mend. cattle to tend.
Plenty to be done.
Let me live on the range
Where a man has room to roam in
And dream of his love in the gloamin'
In the hills of old Wyomin'.
In the hills of old Wyomin'...
