Davy Crockett and the River Pirates Page #2

---

Don't you be a'feared

of tootin' your horn.

Mind what you promise. Don't want

anybody to think this'll be a frolic.

That one's about the right size.

See you back at the landing.

[Grunts]

Ah!

[Jocko] Now, anybody else

don't care for my cigar?

Kind of handy with

them fists of yourn, ain't you?

Better at kicking and bitin'.

You're the kind of fella

I been looking for. Drink?

You're just the kind of fella

I've been looking for, too.

Well, here's mud in your eye.

Know something? Sleepy town like this

ain't no place for a man of your talents.

- Mister, that's a fact.

- Have another?

- What's your name?

- Jocko.

- Mine's Georgie.

- Well, I'm pleased to meet you.

Ah, it's kind of tasty, ain't it?

[Whispering] That'd grow whiskers...

That'd grow pink whiskers

on a hound dog.

Hey, Jocko, how'd you like to see

a little something of the world?

- What you driving at, Georgie?

- I'm gonna let you in on something.

Me and Davy Crockett is getting a party

to take a boat ride down the river.

- Take a what?

- Boat ride, on the Bertha Mae.

- Clean down to New Orleans.

- [Cackling]

What's so funny?

That's the gall-bustingest joke

I ever heard. Hey, Mike!

This clodhopper is trying to sign old Jocko

on the Bertha Mae.

You tired of livin'? Nobody tries

to steal one of Mike Fink's crew.

How did I know this little hyena...

This squirt... One of your hyenas?

I accept your apology.

Couple of Mike Fink specials.

I thought you and Davy Crockett

was a couple of smart fellas.

Turnin' me down for a bumblin'

old coot like Cap Cobb.

- Heard about them Injuns downriver?

- But Injuns don't scare Davy none.

Our only trouble is,

we can't get a crew.

You ain't gonna find

no keelboatmen around here.

If any of these cornhuskers

are crazy enough to join you,

you'll end up in a sandbar for sure.

It's risky, but we get a free ride.

- It's your funeral.

- [Bubbling, steaming]

As we say down in New Orleans,

bon voyage!

- Hey, down the hatch!

- I already had more than I'm used to.

Oh, come on now, square off.

You're gonna be a river man,

you gotta learn how to drink like one.

[Drink gurgles]

[Stomach gurgles]

[Laughing]

That's funny, there's no sign

of my friend Russel.

You go look for him.

We'll find the rest of the fellas.

It may take persuading, but we'll

have a full crew before morning.

- Obligin' of you to join up with me.

- Anything for you, Davy.

Well, let's get some men.

[Crowd hoots, hollers]

Yee-hoo!

Hey! Hiya, Davy!

- What in thunder got into him?

- Only a couple of Mike Fink specials.

Georgie ain't a drinkin' man.

That's what he claimed,

but look at him!

Hey, Davy!

Yee-hoo!

Georgie Russel, quit making
