00:00:00Sometimes I wonder if the Lord has forgot
00:00:09About this old road game and busting this rug
00:00:18Oh, well, the picks and shovels are working
00:00:22In the cold and in the sun
00:00:27And Dally is waiting to get to use his gun
00:00:35Oh, well, run, boy, run, run, boy, run
00:00:39For Dally's gonna get you with his old shotgun
00:00:47Now, remember what I said.
00:00:49I'm walking out of here in about three minutes.
00:00:52Now, you stay put.
00:00:54Just like that.
00:00:56I owe this lousy state five years, and I'm cutting out.
00:01:00Man, old Dally's mean. He'll shoot.
00:01:03Sure, he'll shoot if he gets a chance.
00:01:06But I got about 20 seconds to make my play.
00:01:10And then, wham!
00:01:21Cully, I'd think about it for a while if I was you.
00:01:24I mean, five years will pass.
00:01:26Sure, it'll pass.
00:01:28If I behave myself, they may let me out of here in four.
00:01:32But four years in this ditch is a long, long time.
00:01:42Beat it.
00:01:45That Fink smells.
00:01:48Cully, maybe you should wait.
00:01:50Look, kid, this is my play.
00:01:53And I'm gonna make it.
00:01:5620 seconds goes awfully fast.
00:01:59How do you know he'll even look at his watch?
00:02:01Ever since we've been out here, that little sawmill over there,
00:02:04toots a blast at 12 sharp.
00:02:07I'm gonna make it.
00:02:09Ever since we've been out here, that little sawmill over there,
00:02:12toots a blast at 12 sharp.
00:02:15Old Dally reaches inside his pocket,
00:02:17pulls out his watch and winds it.
00:02:20Now, that action takes about 20 seconds.
00:02:23That's when I make my play.
00:02:27Man, I sure enjoyed knowing you.
00:02:30Don't take it so serious, kid. I'll make it.
00:02:35I sure hope so.
00:02:37Now, remember what I said.
00:02:39As soon as I bust out of here, I'm gonna grab that loot I got stashed.
00:02:42Now, you stay here and do your time and meet me in Mexico.
00:02:46Then we really live it up.
00:02:49And all I've got to do is look up your kinfolk in Antioch?
00:02:52Look up my nephew, Cephas.
00:02:54Then you'll always know where I am.
00:02:57And, Snake, if anything should happen and I don't make it,
00:03:01if anything should happen and I don't make it,
00:03:04I want you to have that loot.
00:03:07About two minutes away, and I'm coming out.
00:03:18I'm coming out.
00:03:32I've got too long to try to wait
00:03:36If the time is right
00:03:39I've got to make my pray
00:03:44And then it's run, boy, run
00:03:46Run, boy, run
00:03:48Or Daddy's gonna get you
00:03:51With his old shotgun
00:04:01I'm gonna make my pray
00:04:04And then it's run, boy, run
00:04:07Run, boy, run
00:04:10Or Daddy's gonna get you
00:04:13With his old shotgun
00:04:16Run, boy, run
00:04:19Or Daddy's gonna get you
00:04:22With his old shotgun
00:04:25Run, boy, run
00:04:28There you are, Snake, and lift him, or you'll be next.
00:04:58Hey!
00:05:28Come on.
00:05:59Hey!
00:06:14Let's get the hell out of here.
00:06:20Run, boy, run
00:06:22Run, boy, run
00:06:24Or Daddy's gonna get you
00:06:27With his old shotgun
00:06:32Sometimes I wonder
00:06:35If the Lord has forgot
00:06:39About this old road gang
00:06:43And bustin' this rock
00:06:47Picks and shovels workin'
00:06:50In the cold and in the sun
00:06:56While Daddy is waitin'
00:06:59To get to use his gun
00:07:04Oh, better run, boy, run
00:07:06Run, boy, run
00:07:08Or Daddy's gonna get you
00:07:11With his old shotgun
00:07:16We're men that's forgotten
00:07:20The world has passed us by
00:07:25And nobody cares
00:07:29If we live or die
00:07:33And I've got too long to try to wait
00:07:38If the time is right
00:07:41I've got to make my break
00:07:46And then it's run, boy, run
00:07:48Run, boy, run
00:07:50Or Daddy's gonna get you
00:07:53With his old shotgun
00:07:57I said run, boy, run
00:07:59Run, boy, run
00:08:01Or Daddy's gonna get you
00:08:04With his old shotgun
00:08:12And so this Cully guy gets his stupid head blown off
00:08:15just about the time we're ready to get him sprung.
00:08:24So where do you think the loot is, Vest?
00:08:27Probably in that hick town.
00:08:29But where? That's the problem.
00:08:32How much of the green stuff is there?
00:08:35One hundred thousand bucks.
00:08:37And all in small bills.
00:08:40So how is it that this Cully guy hides the loot and not you?
00:08:44Well, I'll start from the beginning.
00:08:49There's a small paper mill that pays its employees in cash.
00:08:54Cully Burke comes to us with an idea.
00:08:57And so we buy it.
00:09:00And the next thing you know, we knock the joint over.
00:09:03Halloween masks and all.
00:09:05And blow with a hundred thousand clams.
00:09:09So why does this Cully guy wind up with the loot?
00:09:14Cully's gonna bring the dough to Joe there.
00:09:17He's about 15 miles away in another car.
00:09:20Then he's gonna transfer the money,
00:09:22and Joe is gonna bring it to the hideout.
00:09:24We'll split it there.
00:09:26So?
00:09:27So Cully must have stashed the loot.
00:09:30Because when he's picked up,
00:09:32all he's got left is the money.
00:09:35And Joe's got the money.
00:09:37And Cully's got the money.
00:09:40Because when he's picked up, all he's got is 37 cents.
00:09:45All right, where do we start?
00:09:48Cully has a cellmate.
00:09:51A small-time hood by the name of Snake Richards.
00:09:54So when Cully gets his back caved in with a load of buckshot,
00:09:57the kid gets away along with the rest of the gang.
00:10:01You figure the kid knows something?
00:10:04Could be.
00:10:07And sooner or later he'll show up in that little tobacco town.
00:10:11If he does, he knows something.
00:10:15And then?
00:10:16That's where you come in.
00:10:18Couldn't the two of you handle it?
00:10:21Probably.
00:10:24But if the situation toughens up,
00:10:27we're gonna need some muscle.
00:10:30But there's enough loot to go around.
00:10:33You in?
00:10:36All the way.
00:10:40All the way.
00:11:06All the way.
00:11:36Rusty, hunting's been real scarce today,
00:11:39and I'm getting kind of hungry.
00:11:41How about you?
00:11:43Why don't you run along and get our lunch?
00:12:06Boy, this is good.
00:12:37Rusty, a boy needs a buddy.
00:12:40Oh, you're my buddy, all right,
00:12:42but you're my hunting buddy.
00:12:44What I need is a human buddy.
00:12:47Now, there's Pa and Uncle Cephas,
00:12:49but they're too old.
00:12:52Then there's Rita and Nadine,
00:12:54but they're just girls, so they don't even count.
00:12:57And Tom's never around, except when he's with Nadine.
00:13:00And Tom's never around, except when he's with Nadine.
00:13:03And Tom's never around, except when he's with Nadine.
00:13:06So I just guess you'll have to be my buddy,
00:13:09until I can do better.
00:13:17What is it, Rusty?
00:13:34If you're two-legged, you better come out by the time I count three.
00:13:38And if you're four-legged, I'm still counting.
00:13:41One, two...
00:13:46Hi, partner.
00:13:48What are you doing in our land?
00:13:50Well, I was out hunting with some friends of mine,
00:13:53and I got lost.
00:13:55You got no business hunting here.
00:13:57It's all posted.
00:13:59Besides, where's your gun?
00:14:01Well, I left it down the road a piece.
00:14:04I've been out here since morning,
00:14:06and I ain't heard no shooting.
00:14:08You must be lying.
00:14:10Okay, kid, I'll level with you.
00:14:13I am lying.
00:14:15I don't know how to tell you this, I just...
00:14:18I'm on the run from the law.
00:14:20But I didn't do nothing bad, now, I just...
00:14:23I just got mixed up with the wrong bunch.
00:14:26Listen, kid, I heard what you said about, you know, needing a buddy.
00:14:30I could be your buddy.
00:14:33I need one bad.
00:14:35Real bad.
00:14:37How about it, kid?
00:14:39Well, what's your name?
00:14:41My friends call me Snake, Snake Richards.
00:14:44Well, what do they call you, Snake, for?
00:14:47Well, I guess because I've been a little slippery,
00:14:51but I could be a good buddy to you.
00:14:54Well, I don't know.
00:14:56What do you think about it, Rusty?
00:14:59Bark, bark, bark.
00:15:07Well, Rusty likes you, so I guess you ain't all bad.
00:15:10That's what Pa says.
00:15:12He says there's a little bit of bad in all of us,
00:15:14but there's a whole lot of good, too.
00:15:16Well, if you're ready, we may as well get started for the house.
00:15:22Now, hold on a minute.
00:15:24What's your Pa gonna think about me coming to the house?
00:15:27Pa won't mind.
00:15:29He's a preacher. He's always taking in stray souls.
00:15:32Besides, tonight's prayer meeting night,
00:15:35and he'd be powerful glad to have you in church.
00:15:38How about the barn tonight, and then maybe tomorrow?
00:15:42Okay, if you say so.
00:15:45Hey, you got any other clothes besides those you're wearing?
00:15:49Just these I've got on.
00:15:53I could get you some of my brother's clothes.
00:15:56Your brother's?
00:15:58Yeah, but he got killed in the war.
00:16:00I'm sorry.
00:16:02Hey, you know you look like him. You look a lot like him.
00:16:05Hey, you know what this is?
00:16:07Bite?
00:16:09Uh-huh. When other people do it, it's because they're mad.
00:16:12When we do it, it means buddy.
00:16:14Okay? You know, a buddy sign.
00:16:16Okay, buddy.
00:16:18Well, Rusty and me will be moving along,
00:16:20and I'll see you later on tonight and bring you something to eat.
00:16:23Barn's about two miles down the road.
00:16:25You wait here.
00:16:27I'll be there.
00:16:29Okay, buddy?
00:16:31Buddy.
00:16:33Come on, Rusty.
00:16:36¶¶
00:16:49¶ Will the circle be unbroken
00:16:55¶ By and by, Lord, by and by
00:17:02¶ Will the circle be unbroken

00:17:45Well, preach, if you don't mind, I think I'll be heading home,
00:17:48see if I can't fill this thing up.
00:17:50All right, Cephas.
00:17:52Get ready for some more work tomorrow.
00:17:54Good, good.
00:17:56You know, you kind of like this tobacco farming, don't you?
00:17:59It's the way to make a living.
00:18:01Sometimes.
00:18:03Sometimes, Cephas.
00:18:05What with the government meddling with the acreage allotment,
00:18:09the wet years and the dry ones,
00:18:13plant bed disease,
00:18:16insects,
00:18:18and trying to find outside help when you need it.
00:18:21I'd say it's kind of a sometime affair.
00:18:25Well, anyhow, this day is done tended to.
00:18:27Just about.
00:18:31Pa, it's Tom.
00:18:33And I bet he's come according.
00:18:37Pa, can I go out and meet him? I'm almost finished.
00:18:40Go ahead, Nadine. I'll see him later.
00:18:42I want to keep my mind on a meeting tonight.
00:18:44Okay.
00:18:47Thanks, Tom.
00:18:49Anytime, Tam.
00:18:51Better go inside and clean up. Pa's been asking about you.
00:18:53Hi, Tom.
00:18:55Howdy, Nadine.
00:19:04Wait a minute, honey.
00:19:06What?
00:19:08There's something I've just got to tell you.
00:19:10You are as pretty as a newborn calf in the springtime.
00:19:14Oh, there you go comparing me to an animal
00:19:16rather than complimenting me for myself.
00:19:18Now, Nadine, don't go getting your feathers all ruffled up.
00:19:21All I'm trying to do is say you're pretty.
00:19:24There ain't nothing much prettier than a newborn calf.
00:19:27I'm accepting you.
00:19:29That's my opinion.
00:19:31Mine too, Tom.
00:19:34What's the occasion for the siren?
00:19:36Well, it's fairly simple, Brother Bolton.
00:19:40Tim likes to hear the siren, and I blow it for him.
00:19:43Then he helps me out in my courting with Nadine.
00:19:47How you see this? What do you know?
00:19:49Hi, Tom. How's crime?
00:19:51Crime don't pay.
00:19:54Brother Bolton, well, I was thinking
00:19:57maybe you might let Nadine ride into town with me.
00:20:00I got to go check in,
00:20:02and I'll just bring her back for a prayer meeting.
00:20:07That way you'd be guaranteed another soul
00:20:09for your congregation tonight.
00:20:11Could I, Pa? We'll be back in time for meeting and all.
00:20:14All right, Nadine. Be back before supper, though, you hear me?
00:20:18Thanks, Pa.
00:20:26She's gonna make you a good wife, Tom.
00:20:28You know, I'll tell you something.
00:20:30You'll never see a man the more willing than I am.
00:20:34Now all I got to do is convince Nadine.
00:20:36Ah, Nadine's like a young fillet.
00:20:38Ah, Nadine's like a young fillet. Ain't been broke good.
00:20:41She'll be all right. Just give her time.
00:20:51Boy, women.
00:20:53You ought to know where Brother Vic's clothes are.
00:20:56Pa makes you take them out and check them.
00:20:59Well, why don't you answer?
00:21:01Oh, Timmy, leave Rita alone.
00:21:03I don't care if she stutters.
00:21:05She can't help it.
00:21:07Besides, what do you want with your dead brother's clothes?
00:21:10They're still too big for you.
00:21:12Women.
00:21:14I guarantee you when I grow up, I ain't never gonna get married.
00:21:20Hey, honey, what did I do with my coat?
00:21:22Pa's letting me go into town with Tom, and boy, is it cold outside.
00:21:27Do I look pretty?
00:21:30Boy, with your singing voice and my looks and figure,
00:21:34I could be the belle of this whole...
00:21:36Hey, wait a minute. I got something I want to show you.
00:21:39But don't you breathe a word of it to Pa, you hear?
00:21:43Okay? Now close your eyes.
00:22:05Okay, now open up your eyes.
00:22:11See? Ain't it pretty?
00:22:14I got it out of one of those ads in a movie magazine.
00:22:18Boy, I'll bet Tom's eyes would just pop out if he saw it.
00:22:24I'll bet he'd be so happy.
00:22:26I'll bet he'd be so happy.
00:22:28I'll bet he'd be so happy.
00:22:30I'll bet he'd be so happy.
00:22:32I'll bet Tom's eyes would just pop out if he was to see me in this.
00:22:45I wonder what Pa would say if he was to see me.
00:22:48You don't have to wonder no more.
00:22:51Bring it here and I'll show you what I'm gonna do.
00:22:56Pa?
00:22:57Bring it here.
00:23:03Bring it here.
00:23:17I tried to raise you girls right.
00:23:21Be decent, ladies.
00:23:26I'm ashamed of you.
00:23:29Nadine, come here.
00:23:36Burn it.
00:23:37Oh, Pa, please.
00:23:38Burn it!
00:23:48Now you get yourself out there to that boy.
00:23:52And if I ever hear you buying junk like this again,
00:23:57I'll take you out of the smokehouse and tan your little behind.
00:24:06Forgive me, Lord, for losing my temper.
00:24:09Now get!
00:24:18What'd you do, Pa? What'd you burn?
00:24:20Mind, boy, it's none of your business.
00:24:23Do your chores.
00:24:24Well, I was fixing to.
00:24:26See that you do.
00:24:27Yes, sir.
00:24:37You two have a good time now.
00:24:39We will, Cephas.
00:24:40And you better be back in time for prayer meeting.
00:24:43Let's hurry before Pa changes his mind.
00:24:56Let's go.
00:25:14You wait here. I'll be right back.
00:25:27She's not bad looking for a farm, Broad.
00:25:35They grow them just as pretty in the country as they do in the city.
00:25:39We're not here to look for Broads.
00:25:42That's right. We're bird hunters.
00:25:45Looking for a special kind of bird.
00:25:49Jailbird.
00:25:51We've been here for three days, Vest. Think that snake's gonna show?
00:25:56One thing draws a guy like him.
00:25:59The smell of money.
00:26:02I don't get it.
00:26:04Look at that sign.
00:26:06Gentlemen, we're all going to a tobacco festival.
00:26:20In the wildwood, no lovelier spot in the dale
00:26:27No place is so dear to my childhood
00:26:33As the little round church in the vale
00:26:38Oh, come, come, come, come, come to the church in the wildwood
00:26:46Oh, come to the church in the vale
00:26:51No place is so dear to my childhood
00:26:57As the little round church in the vale
00:27:02Well, folks, I don't suppose the Lord will mind
00:27:06if I use this tobacco festival ticket
00:27:10to mark a passage in his good book.
00:27:16The fact is, the festival is just right here on us.
00:27:22Just about on us.
00:27:24And I'm happy to mention it from the pulpit.
00:27:27Now, if you haven't bought your ticket yet,
00:27:30see Cephas. Get your ticket from Cephas.
00:27:33The church can sure use the money.
00:27:37Let me read you what it says in the good book.
00:27:39Let me read you what it says in the good book.
00:27:44It's in the book of Deuteronomy.
00:27:48Chapter 16, verse 70.
00:27:53It says,
00:27:55Every man shall give as he is able
00:28:00according to the blessing of the Lord thy God
00:28:05which he hath given thee.
00:28:10You know,
00:28:13tobacco farming is a little like folks.
00:28:18They're sometimes good,
00:28:21sometimes not so good,
00:28:24sometimes pretty bad.
00:28:27Now, we're going to be favored right now by Miss Martha.
00:28:31A song from Miss Martha Carson.
00:28:34Brother Bolton, I brought a couple of friends along with me,
00:28:36Smiley and Kitty Wilson.
00:28:43Well, I'm on my way
00:28:45To Canaan Land
00:28:48I'm on my way
00:28:50To Canaan Land
00:28:53I'm on my way
00:28:56To Canaan Land
00:28:58I'm on my way
00:29:00I'm on my way
00:29:03This train's got an engine
00:29:04White as snow
00:29:07This train's got an engine
00:29:09White as snow
00:29:12This train's got an engine
00:29:14White as snow
00:29:17I'm on my way
00:29:19I'm on my way
00:29:21Well, I'm on my way
00:29:23To Canaan Land
00:29:26I'm on my way
00:29:28To Canaan Land
00:29:30I'm on my way
00:29:32To Canaan Land
00:29:35I'm on my way
00:29:37I'm on my way
00:29:40Well, I thought I heard
00:29:42That whistle blow
00:29:44I thought I heard
00:29:46That whistle blow
00:29:48It's taking me where
00:29:51I want to go
00:29:53Got a one-way ticket
00:29:55I can't come back
00:29:57I'm ready to go
00:29:59Yes, I'm on my way
00:30:00To Canaan Land
00:30:02I'm on my way
00:30:04To Canaan Land
00:30:06I'm on my way
00:30:08To Canaan Land
00:30:10I'm on my way
00:30:12I'm on my way
00:30:14On my way, on my way
00:30:29And now we'll have the treasurer's report.
00:30:32Cephas.
00:30:33Brother Bolton.
00:30:35Folks.
00:30:37This past week we took in three nice pullets,
00:30:41two bushels of hickory nuts,
00:30:43some peaches, canned peaches,
00:30:47and one nice fat short.
00:30:49Could you boil that down to hard cash, Cephas?
00:30:53About $13.20.
00:30:55What do we owe?
00:30:57Right now, nothing, but after they come put in that new fan for the summer,
00:31:01we're going to be about $30 in the hole.
00:31:05Well, thank you, Cephas. The Lord will provide.
00:31:08Brother Bolton.
00:31:09Yes, sir.
00:31:10I was wondering if you'd mind if I kind of helped the Lord out a bit
00:31:14and passed around the collection basket.
00:31:16Oh.
00:31:18Oh, I don't think the Lord will mind too much, Cephas.
00:31:21Oh, while you're at it,
00:31:24see if you can get rid of a couple of more tickets to the tobacco festival.
00:31:28Yes, sir.
00:31:30And while Brother Cephas is doing his duty,
00:31:34let's sing just one short verse of Love Lifted Me.
00:31:39Love lifted me
00:31:42Love lifted me
00:31:45When nothing else could help
00:31:49Love lifted me
00:31:52Love lifted me
00:31:55Love lifted me
00:31:59When nothing else could help
00:32:02Love lifted me
00:32:17Lord, we thank you for the provisions that you have so generously provided.
00:32:25Thank you for the givers, because they work hard for the keep.
00:32:30And, Lord, about the fan.
00:32:33Yes. Lord, about the fan.
00:32:37We thank you for providing us with a fan.
00:32:41It'll sure help to quieten the congregation during the hot months.
00:32:47Our little church gets pretty hot during the summertime.
00:32:51We thank you for all these things, Lord.
00:32:55Amen.
00:32:57Amen.
00:33:04Well, at this time, usually as we close,
00:33:08we ask if someone would like to introduce a new soul.
00:33:13Maybe join the church.
00:33:16Make a statement.
00:33:19I have, Pa. I mean, Reverend.
00:33:23You have, Tim?
00:33:25Yes, sir.
00:33:28Say what you gotta say, boy.
00:33:30Well, first, Pa, you always said it was better to give than to receive.
00:33:34You said that, didn't you, Pa?
00:33:36Of course I did. Everybody knows that, Tim.
00:33:39Well, Pa, I gave somebody some old clothes.
00:33:43The Lord will bless you, son. And I bless you.
00:33:46Well, I'm glad of that, because I gave away my dead brother's clothes.
00:33:52You did what?
00:33:54I gave them to someone who needed them bad to keep the cold out.
00:33:57And where is this person that needed Vic's clothes so bad?
00:34:02He's standing outside.
00:34:04Well, go outside. Invite him in.
00:34:08Have your friend come to the altar.
00:34:39What is his son's name, thou canst tell?
00:34:43Who has gathered the wind in his fist?
00:34:47Who has bound the waters in a garment?
00:34:51Who has established all the ends of the earth?
00:34:56What is his name?
00:35:00And what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
00:35:05Every word of Almighty God is pure.
00:35:10He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
00:35:17Precious memories, how they linger.
00:35:30How they ever flood my soul.
00:35:42In the stillness of the midnight.
00:35:54Precious sacred scenes untold.
00:36:24Precious sacred scenes untold.
00:36:39Precious sacred scenes untold.
00:36:49Precious sacred scenes untold.
00:36:59Pa, Rita kind of likes him, don't she?
00:37:04I suppose I've done the right thing by giving Snake brother Vic's clothes.
00:37:08Well, he needed them, son.
00:37:11Besides, you know what the good book says.
00:37:14Never hesitate to entertain a stranger.
00:37:17For many, having done so, have entertained an angel unaware.
00:37:41That'll do for now, Snake.
00:37:43How about helping me out in the barn?
00:37:51Come in, son.
00:37:56What did you want me to do, Brother Boulder?
00:37:58Oh, the job will wait.
00:38:00Sit down and make yourself at home.
00:38:06Tim, you run up the house for a minute, son.
00:38:09But, Pa, I wanted to listen.
00:38:13You run up the house like I said.
00:38:16Brother Bolton, if you want to talk, there ain't nothing I wouldn't say to you that I wouldn't say in front of Tim.
00:38:24Well, all right. All right.
00:38:27Close the door, son. Keep out the chill.
00:38:34Okay, Brother Bolton, get it off your chest.
00:38:37Oh, just wanted to say a few words.
00:38:42You know, a little while ago, I saw you cutting wood for the girls.
00:38:51Yesterday, went hunting here with Tim.
00:38:56What I'm trying to say is, you do credit to my son's clothes.
00:39:05You're welcome around here.
00:39:08See? I told you you had nothing to worry about.
00:39:11Were you worried?
00:39:13He thought you were going to make him leave, Pa.
00:39:15Oh, why would I do that?
00:39:17Brother Bolton, I'm on the run from the law.
00:39:22Oh, I know that, son.
00:39:24I didn't tell him. Honest.
00:39:28How did you know?
00:39:29Because it's written all over your face.
00:39:32Every crooked turn, every running mile.
00:39:39Now you're standing at the crossroads.
00:39:43Nobody knows which road you'll take.
00:39:47Not even you.
00:39:52Probably up some alley.
00:39:55That's what my Pa always told me.
00:39:57Your Pa?
00:39:58Why, Tim, let Snake talk.
00:40:02Ma died when I was just a baby.
00:40:04And Pa...
00:40:08He beat me a lot when he was drunk, which was most of the time.
00:40:12I've seen him so drunk, he couldn't bend down to tie his own shoes.
00:40:17You know what he used to tell me, Preacher?
00:40:20He used to say I was going to die in some alley with my shoes on.
00:40:23But let me tell you something.
00:40:25When I cash in my chips, there's going to be money all around me,
00:40:29and it won't be in no alley either.
00:40:32Well, now, the way I see it, son,
00:40:36you don't ever have to die in no alley.
00:40:40Right, Tim?
00:40:41Right, Pa.
00:40:43All you have to do is stay here in the country,
00:40:47because there ain't an alley in a hundred mile of here.
00:40:51Brother Bolton, you're all right.
00:40:54Now, what do you say we go up to the house?
00:40:56About time to eat.
00:41:13Oh, my, Tim.
00:41:15That boy eats all the time.
00:41:18All the time.
00:41:23Nadine, bring the boys some hot coffee, honey.
00:41:29Have some more coffee, Tom?
00:41:31No, thanks, Nadine. I'm full up to here.
00:41:35Will you have some more coffee, Snake?
00:41:38Yes, ma'am, I believe I will.
00:41:41Who are you taking to the tobacco festival, Snake?
00:41:45I haven't thought much about it.
00:41:47Well, why don't you think about it?
00:41:50I know some girl who would be more than pleased to go with you.
00:41:54I'll have some coffee, Nadine.
00:41:56Rita, bring Snake another piece of cake.
00:41:59If you get any ideas, let me know, you hear?
00:42:17Where you come from, Snake?
00:42:20Texas.
00:42:21I mean, where did you come from before you got here?
00:42:25Old places.
00:42:28Like what places?
00:42:33I don't believe that's any of your business.
00:42:37Maybe it was in my business.
00:42:40But as of right now, I'm making it my business.
00:42:48Look, mister.
00:42:50If you're looking for trouble, you've already found it.
00:42:53Trouble's what I get paid for.
00:42:58I didn't want it this way.
00:43:01You boys can talk some other time.
00:43:04Hey, Tom.
00:43:06How about doing that number I like so well?
00:43:08Let's go in the parlor and get the feeling.
00:43:17Come on.

00:45:45Hi, Chief.
00:45:47It's cold out there.
00:45:48What kept you, Cephas?
00:45:50Well, I had to go down to church and help them put in a new fan.
00:45:53Oh, I remember the fan, yeah.
00:45:55Snake sing for you?
00:45:56Snake sings?
00:45:59He sings and plays the guitar all the time.
00:46:01But he didn't want me to tell anybody.
00:46:02Well...
00:46:04Hand him the guitar there, Cephas.
00:46:07Maybe he'd be kind enough to sing a song for us, Snake.
00:46:12Preach, uh...
00:46:14I don't sing the exact type of gospel songs that you folks sing.
00:46:18I'm sure we'll enjoy it, son.
00:46:29Well, I come here to tell you folks I'm ragged, but I'm right
00:46:35A tramp and a rounder, I stay out late at night
00:46:41A porterhouse steak three times a day for my board
00:46:46That's more than any loafer in this big town can afford
00:46:51Well, a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
00:46:57A little baby boy to play around at his feet
00:47:02I'm a rounder, a gambler, I lead every life
00:47:07Well, I tell you folks I'm ragged, but I'm right
00:47:12Now, when I get married, I know I'll settle down
00:47:41I'll build a little love nest right here in this old town
00:47:47I'll raise a family, one that I'm proud of
00:47:52I know that I'll be happy, cause they're the one I love
00:47:57Well, a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
00:48:03A little baby boy to play around at his feet
00:48:07I'm a rounder, a gambler, I lead every life
00:48:13Well, I tell you folks I'm ragged, but I'm right
00:48:25Well, folks, it's been a fine evening.
00:48:29But we all got work to do. Come tomorrow morning and it's getting late.
00:48:34Oh, Snake, you still haven't told me who you're taking to the festival.
00:48:39Well, I would be mighty proud to take Miss Rita if she would let me.
00:48:44Rita?
00:48:46Yes, ma'am, if she'd let me.
00:48:48I believe Rita'd be proud to go with you, boy.
00:48:52Rita?
00:48:54Yes, sir.
00:48:59Well, now that's settled, I guess it's time we was getting on home.
00:49:02You ready, Snake?
00:49:04I was hoping you could stay a little longer, Cephas.
00:49:07I'd like to take up some church matters with you.
00:49:10Well, I don't mind staying a little longer.
00:49:12I don't imagine it'd bother Snake.
00:49:16Tom and me would be glad to drive Snake home.
00:49:19Besides, he'll need another quilt for his bed.
00:49:51I brought you a blanket.
00:49:53Thanks a lot.
00:49:55It might keep you warm on these cold nights.
00:50:00If you play with fire, you're liable to get burnt.
00:50:05But I might just like to get burnt.
00:50:08I don't mean by me, I mean by your boyfriend outside.
00:50:12Oh, Tom, don't mind.
00:50:14Besides, this is Cephas' cabin.
00:50:19But Cephas ain't here.
00:50:30What's the matter?
00:50:32Do I scare you?
00:50:35You're bringing trouble.
00:50:37Oh, the trouble can be fun.
00:50:41But fun ends.
00:50:44Troubles have a way of going on.
00:50:47Well, let's go to bed.
00:50:49Good night.
00:50:51Good night.
00:50:53Good night.
00:50:59The way I look at it,
00:51:02trouble's outside waiting.
00:51:05You mean Tom?
00:51:08He's used to waiting.
00:51:23Would you two like to be alone?
00:51:26Or is three a crowd?
00:51:27You've got to admit, we asked for it.
00:51:30Tom, I didn't want to kiss him. He forced me to.
00:51:35You do believe me, don't you?
00:51:38Yeah, I'll bet.
00:51:46Snake's the name and snake's the game.
00:51:49Man, it's not the way you think it is.
00:51:52You've been getting in my hair ever since you got to town.
00:51:54I know it looks bad, but...
00:51:57It looks that way to me.
00:52:08Tom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it.
00:52:11You got no cause to go around flirting with every guy you see.
00:52:15This ain't the first time.
00:52:17Honey, I said I was sorry.
00:52:20Forgive me?
00:52:22Huh?
00:52:25Come on.
00:52:44The night of the robbery,
00:52:46Cully left here with them two city fellas.
00:52:49But when he came home, he was by himself.
00:52:51And he was in a big hurry.
00:52:52He gave me a suitcase to keep for him,
00:52:54and he asked me not to tell nobody about it.
00:52:56Did you?
00:52:58Heck no.
00:53:00A vow's a vow, and a man's got to take care of his kin.
00:53:03Anyhow, Cully got caught later that night
00:53:06by the police for shooting one of their own.
00:53:08But he didn't do it.
00:53:10How do you know that?
00:53:12This was his bed.
00:53:14He slept right here, and he kept his gun
00:53:16right there under that mattress.
00:53:18And it's still there.
00:53:19What do you, uh,
00:53:21figure he kept in that old suitcase?
00:53:25Probably just some old clothes.
00:53:27Cully wasn't doing too good at that time.
00:53:30Do you think, uh, any of them would fit me?
00:53:32All I got's these I got on my back.
00:53:34Keep yourself.
00:53:36It's over there in the closet.
00:53:38Oh, it'll keep till tomorrow.
00:53:40Think I'll have a cigarette and turn in.
00:53:42Yeah, that's a pretty good idea.
00:53:44God, you look tired myself.
00:53:45Night.
00:54:15Good night.
00:54:46As soon as I bust out of here,
00:54:48I'm going to grab that loot I got stashed.
00:54:51Now you stay here and do your time.
00:54:53Then meet me in Mexico.
00:54:55Then we really live it up.
00:54:58You do credit that in my son's clothes.
00:55:02You're welcome around here.
00:55:15Come on.
00:55:45Come on.
00:56:06Folks,
00:56:08welcome to the 50th Annual Tobacco Festival.
00:56:10Yes, sir.
00:56:1250 years ago,
00:56:13our fathers started all of this
00:56:15and nothing has been added since,
00:56:17except the allotment.
00:56:21Now to get things moving,
00:56:23we have here Jim Hyatt
00:56:25and the Haywood Mountaineers
00:56:27and our old friend
00:56:29fiddling Arthur Smith in the Skylarks.
00:56:31Let her go, Arthur.
00:56:43Let her go, Arthur.
00:57:13Let her go, Arthur.
00:57:43Let her go, Arthur.
00:57:45Let her go, Arthur.
00:57:47Let her go, Arthur.
00:57:49Let her go, Arthur.
00:58:14Can I get you something to drink, Rita?
00:58:17How about you, Nadine?
00:58:19Mm-hmm.
00:58:21I'd like some of that fancy Dan over there.
00:58:26Which one are you looking at?
00:58:28The one with the sad eyes?
00:58:30Uh-uh.
00:58:32The other one.
00:58:34That outfit she's wearing turns me on.
00:58:39You know,
00:58:40it turns me on.
00:58:43Don't believe I'd mess with this kind.
00:58:45He's a little more than you can handle.
00:58:47Oh, I could handle him all right
00:58:49if I just had the chance.
00:58:51Besides,
00:58:53his gray hair fascinates me.
00:58:57Just thought I'd warn you.
00:59:01He's too old for you, Nadine.
00:59:05Honey,
00:59:07when you see snow on the mountaintop,
00:59:08there's always fire in the furnace.
00:59:13I'll get that drink.
00:59:35I would have gotten that for you.
00:59:36I may have other ideas.
00:59:39Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:59:46Can I buy you a drink?
00:59:55You come from the city, don't you?
00:59:57Yeah.
00:59:59Why, there's a show.
01:00:01What city?
01:00:03All of them.
01:00:04Oh, gosh, just think.
01:00:07Traveling from city to city
01:00:09and going any place you like,
01:00:11not being tied down.
01:00:13What I wouldn't give for a life like that.
01:00:16For instance?
01:00:19For instance what?
01:00:22Skip it.
01:00:24Say, how would you like to travel from city to city,
01:00:28have all the clothes you wanted?
01:00:30Oh, I'd just love that.
01:00:32I thought you would.
01:00:34By the way, who was the young man
01:00:36that came over to buy the drink
01:00:38for the other young lady?
01:00:40Oh, you mean the fellow with my sister?
01:00:42His name is Snake Richards.
01:00:44Snake Richards.
01:00:46Why, do you know him?
01:00:48No, but I probably will.
01:00:51By the way,
01:00:53don't you think it would be a good idea
01:00:55if we stepped over to some other place
01:00:58where it might be less noisy?
01:01:02All right.
01:01:04After you.
01:01:09Thank you, friends.
01:01:11Thank you very much.
01:01:13And now a couple of fine neighbors,
01:01:15Jim and Mildred Mulcahy.

01:04:22Your pa told me some things
01:04:24that made me think.
01:04:30And maybe what I feel for you is
01:04:31No, hell, I wouldn't know.
01:04:35Mmm, what did you put in this drink?
01:04:38A little something to spice it up.
01:04:41Kind of makes me feel funny inside.
01:04:43It does?
01:04:44Mm-hmm.
01:04:45Maybe when I look at you, I don't feel a bit funny.
01:04:50You don't?
01:04:51Uh-uh.
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:54You better get back to your buddy
01:04:57before I start taking you apart.
01:05:08You only bought me a drink.
01:05:12Some drink.
01:05:15Oh, but Tom.
01:05:20I don't believe you.
01:06:11How'd you make out with the broad?
01:06:33Had to chill it.
01:06:35Temporarily.
01:06:38Hiya, Snake.
01:06:40Him? Snake?
01:06:42Don't know them.
01:06:45Man, you bugging me?
01:06:47Could be.
01:06:50Got something on your mind?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:54A hundred thousand bucks.
01:06:57I don't know what you're talking about.
01:07:00Don't put me on, country boy.
01:07:03You're worth color.
01:07:04You gotta know where the money is.
01:07:06Were you going someplace the other night, Snake?
01:07:09He must have been.
01:07:10His suitcase was all packed.
01:07:13Say, what happened to you and the sad-eyed girl?
01:07:16Did she cool you?
01:07:18What are you bothering in a man's love life for?
01:07:21That's his business.
01:07:23I'm not bothering him.
01:07:24I just wanted to find out where he stood.
01:07:27I understand the girl put him down.
01:07:30And if that's the case, well,
01:07:33I think I'll just move in.
01:07:36I wouldn't bother that girl if I was you.
01:07:39What? You gonna stop me?
01:07:42I might just be forced to.
01:07:46What you gonna do, country boy?
01:08:06Come on.
01:08:36He's my pigeon.
01:09:06Come on.
01:09:36All right, folks. All right.
01:09:49Just a minute. Just a minute.
01:09:51Let me say something.
01:09:53Now, don't worry too much about the little fracas.
01:09:55You know we have one every year.
01:09:58And here's Arthur Smith with the fastest fiddle in the country.
01:10:01Arthur?
01:10:06You belong to me.
01:11:07Nadine.
01:11:09In here, Pa.
01:11:11See if you can help Tim find his new britches.
01:11:14I want that boy in church today with his shoes shined,
01:11:17every button buttoned,
01:11:20and ever her on his head combed.
01:11:24I'll do it in just a minute, Pa.
01:11:27Pa, do I have to wear a tie?
01:11:30No, you don't.
01:11:33Pa, do I have to wear a tie?
01:11:37You do have to wear a tie.
01:11:42Timmy, can you help me with this?
01:11:50All right, all right, all right, all right.
01:12:21You about finished, Rita?
01:12:24She's making him awful pretty, Pa.
01:12:27Well, in that case, I think we better have that awfully pretty young fella
01:12:31go build a fire under Cephas before he misses the meeting.
01:12:35Yeah, we're gonna have to hurry if we make it.
01:12:37He's probably over there wrestling with his necktie.
01:12:40Yeah, I suspect he's losing, too.
01:12:43You know, Snake, I think you better run over to his house
01:12:47and fetch him,
01:12:50because I'm about to put this show on the road
01:12:53just about five minutes from now.
01:12:56Anything that ain't here stands a good chance of getting left.
01:13:01See you later, Snake.
01:13:10All right, fat boy, let's make it easy.
01:13:13Tell us where Cully hid that money.
01:13:15Don't hit me no more. I told you all I know.
01:13:18Where's that con buddy of yours, Snake Richards?
01:13:20Getting ready for church.
01:13:22Look, fat boy, don't put me on.
01:13:25Tell us where Cully hid that dough.
01:13:28No more.
01:13:31Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me.
01:13:37All right, once again, country boy,
01:13:39what was Snake Richards carrying in that suitcase the other night?
01:13:42I told you before, just some of Cully's old clothes.
01:13:45And where is it now?
01:13:47I told you that, too. It's over in his closet.
01:13:50Listen, fat boy, if you don't tell us what we want to know
01:13:53when I count to three,
01:13:55Blinky's gonna cut you up in tiny sirloins, you hear?
01:13:59One, two, three.
01:14:03Now, who are you gonna carve up?
01:14:07Real big-time operators.
01:14:10Takes three of you to handle one of him.
01:14:13All right, hold it where you are.
01:14:20All right, hardhead, you ready to play?
01:14:23What's the name of the game?
01:14:25Tic-tac-toe.
01:14:27Where'd you stash the dough?
01:14:30And it's got to be a partner deal.
01:14:32Yeah, and you're the junior partner.
01:14:36Junior gets it after he hands over the dough.
01:14:38Could be, but who knows?
01:14:41We may learn to like you by then.
01:14:44Blink, ready?
01:14:46Okay, let's head for the car.
01:14:50Okay, where's the dough?
01:14:52Right in there.
01:14:53Move.
01:15:19Keep moving.
01:15:50All right, where is it?
01:15:53There it is.
01:15:54Get it.
01:16:20How do I know that's it?
01:16:24Open it.
01:16:37Man, this does make a difference.
01:16:49Hey!
01:16:58Hey!
01:17:15Hey!

01:22:24How are you?
01:22:26I must have got careless.
01:22:29You're lucky they just creased you.
01:22:32Snake!
01:22:37Snake!
01:23:07Snake!
01:23:38And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee,
01:23:42saw two brethren.
01:23:44Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
01:23:48casting a net into the sea,
01:23:51for they were fishers.
01:23:53And he saith unto them,
01:23:55Follow me,
01:23:57and I will make you fishers of men.
01:24:07Let's go.
01:24:34Tom, what happened?
01:24:36I called him to the barn.
01:24:38He left me there.
01:24:40But he didn't.
01:24:45He had to come home, Preach.
01:24:48He just had to come home.
01:24:53I told you, Brother Bolton,
01:24:56when I cash in my chips, I'll have money all around me.
01:25:07And that was it.
01:25:11It was great, wasn't it?
01:25:18Don't die.
01:25:22Don't die.
01:25:25Falling for you
01:25:29and for me,
01:25:34see, oh, my heart
01:25:38Never hesitate to entertain a stranger.
01:25:41For many, having done so,
01:25:43have entertained an angel on a wire.
01:25:47Watching for you
01:25:52and for me,
01:25:57Come home
01:26:02Come home
01:26:08Ye who are weary
