Sing it, girl.
Lord, you see me
weepin'
And you hear me cry
I ain't weepin'
'bout no money
Just that man of mine
Lord, you see me
weepin'
And you hear me cry...
We got rehearsals
in the morning.
- I could be sleeping
or at least partying.
- Well, go on, then.
- I just wanna meet her.
- You can meet her tomorrow.
Man:
Mobile, Alabama,
we're on the road for a week,
then Gainesville, Florida.
- Oh, slow, slow, slow, baby.
Have mercy.
Contract's only four nights,
then we can go on to--
Why we backtracking
to Mississippi instead
of going to 'Bama?
Seem like we should
just go on from here,
maybe do a longer run
in Mobile, even add
Huntsville.
Well, we'll be
making it just in time
for cotton season
and catch everybody
with their pay, you know?
- ( distant
Oh, sh--
Hey, get back here.
Man:
Besides, the harvest
don't start in Florida
- for another two weeks.
- Mm-hmm.
You've been using
that goober oil
like I told you?
Yes, ma'am.
Nice and soft.
Well, what about Tennessee?
You got Memphis,
you got Chattanoog-- oh!
- How'd you get in here?
- Can I join your show?
- You can see yourself out.
Where you from?
- Blue Goose Hollow.
- A who what?
That a street name?
Bessie:
Where I'm from, they don't
have no street names.
( chuckles )
That where your
people from, too?
They died a long time ago.
Well, the loneliest thing
in the world
is a motherless child.
Well, I got two brothers
and my sister Viola--
Well let me shave you dry.
They don't amount
to much, do they?
You on your own.
- Well, Miss Blue Goose...
- Clarence:
Bessie!- I thank you for calling.
- Bessie! Bessie, get down
from there.
- Do I audition or--
- Ma:
I heard you in the show.I know you can sing.
So stay or jump, b*tch.
( chuckles )
- Well, the train is--
- I don't give a damn
about the train,
a thunderstorm,
a shotgun or what.
You just got to decide
for yourself.
Hell, you got
the St. Louis blues,
the Chicago blues,
the Gin House blues,
the "my man
done left me" blues.
They all the same song,
ain't they?
With the same three chords.
And you done heard 'em
So what make folks
wanna hear from you?
So you got to put
something else in it.
The blues is not about
people knowing you.
It's about
you knowing people.
( patting )
Who done that
to you, huh?
Big old girl like you
letting folks beat on you.
This look like
it might stay forever.
