How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Blazing Saddles.
Quote #1
CHORUS: There was a peaceful town called Rock Ridge/ Where people lived in harmony/ They never had no kind of trouble/ There was no hint of misery.
As the movie's chorus tells us, Rock Ridge is pretty much your ideal town from the Old West. Everyone gets along and everything's nice and peaceful. But that doesn't last too long once Hedley Lamarr's thugs ride in and try to chase everyone away.
Quote #2
CHORUS: Now is a time of great decision/ Are we to stay or up and quit?/ There's no avoiding this conclusion/ Our town is turning into s***.
After the first wave of Hedley's attacks, the people of Rock Ridge meet in a church to decide whether they'd like to stick around or if it's better to take off and never look back.
Quote #3
REVEREND: Well, I don't have to tell you good folks what has been happening here in our beloved little town.
It's true, Reverend. You don't need to tell us because we've all seen the mayhem that Hedley Lamarr's henchmen have been wreaking all through your poor town. It's nice that you have a strong enough sense of community to talk things over. But then again, it also makes it easy for someone to chuck a stick of dynamite through the window and kill you all at once.
