A lark'll wake up in the medder

Hush, you bird my baby's a-sleepin'

Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'

Whoa, you team and

just keep a-creepin'

At a slow clip-clop

Don't you hurry with the surrey

With the fringe

On the

Top

- Only... Only there ain't no such rig.

- Well...

Why'd you come around here with

your stories and your lies,

gettin' me all worked up?

Who'd wanna ride

alongside of you anyway?

Why don't you grab her and kiss her

when she acts that a-way, Curly?

- She's just aching for you to, I bet.

- I won't even speak to him,

let alone allow him to kiss me...

the braggin', bowlegged,

wished-he'd-had-a-sweetheart bum!

She likes you quite a lot.

She liked me any more,

she'd sic the dogs onto me.

- Hello, Jud.

- Hello, yourself.

Listen, who's the low filthy sneak

Laurey's got her cap set for?

- You.

- Never mind that.

There must be plenty of

men a-tryin' to spark her.

- Plenty.

- What about him?

Oh, she wouldn't take up

with a fella like that,

that bullet-colored,

growly hired hand.

Now, don't you go say

nothin' agin Jud.

Best hired hand I ever had.

Just about runs

the farm by hisself.

Well, two women couldn't do it.

You oughta know 'at.

He's around all the time, ain't he?

Takes his meals with you and

sleeps down in the smokehouse.

I changed my mind about

cleaning the henhouse today.

I gotta quit early 'cause I'm driving

Laurey to the party tonight.

- You're driving Laurey?

- I asked her.

Well, wouldn't that

just make you bawl?

Don't forget, Aunt Eller. You and

me still got a date together.

How we going, Curly,

in that rig you made up?

That there ain't

no made-up rig, you hear?

I done hired it over to Claremore.

- Why don't you go with him?

- I can't. I promised Jud.

Why ever did you?

'Cause Curly's too fresh

and too bigheaded,

waitin' till

the last minute to ask me.

Aunt Eller, are you really

going with Curly tonight?

I sure am. You didn't want him.

But you could go with me and Jud.

You picked your feller,

I picked mine.

That's the way

you want it, ain't it?

You're sure a pair.

Crazy young'uns.

Time I started for the station.

Hey, Curly. Tell all the

folks to stop by here

on their way to the Skidmore

party to freshen up.

I will, Aunt Eller. You see you got

your beauty spots fastened on proper,

so as you won't lose

them off, you hear?

That's a right smart turnout.

Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'

That I'd keer to swap

For that shiny little surrey

With the fringe on the top

(WHEELS RATTLING)

Aunt Eller!

Lookin' for me?

Gonna be a nice evenin'

for the party.

- Jud.

- What?

I don't think I can...

You ain't figurin' on goin'

with someone else, are you?
