Sugarfoot Page #2

just got in from the east today.

Howdy.

- How do you do?

Thank you.

# When mother used to caution me,

she'd say:

# 'You're going to run into a man

someday

# Above all,

make sure the man you meet

# Is a gentleman,

born of the elite. '

# Oh, he looked like

he might buy wine

# Which I thought of

as a certain sign

# He had that air about him

you'd call verve and dash

# That certain something

in the curve of his moustache

# Oh, he looked like

he might buy wine

# When he asked me

would I care to dine

# But my dreams went up in smoke

# And this heart of mine he broke

# If my mother knew,

she'd be in tears

# Oh!

# He looked like he might buy wine

# But he asked the waiter

for two beers

# Oh, he looked like

he might buy wine

# And I didn't think

I should decline

# He took me by the hand

and how my heart did sing

# I wouldn't be surprised

That's how he took my ring

# Oh, he looked like

he might buy wine

# Which is why I sit alone and pine

# I was starry-eyed until

# He said,

'Would you pay the bill?'

# If my mother knew,

she'd be in tears

# Oh!

# He looked like he might buy wine

# But he asked the waiter

for two beers

# Oh, he asked the waiter

for two beers #

Two beers!

More!

More!

More!

What are you so skittish for?

You've got no call to put on airs.

Anybody would think you was a lady.

I got money.

That's what you want, ain't it?

I spend freely on a woman.

I want no money spent on me.

I want to be left alone.

Stint, you heard Miss Cairn.

This ain't your business.

- I'm making it my business.

If you're going somewhere,

be on your way.

I knew this town wasn't big enough

to hold the two of us.

You're heeled. I ain't.

That makes it your day.

My day'll be comin'.

Morning, Mr Sugarfoot.

- Good morning.

Good morning.

You... Mr Sugarfoot,

you really not know me yet.

I am Wormser.

You know, because I speak Spanish

better than I speak English,

You see? I-I tell you all.

This is my store.

Will you step inside, please?

I don't want to buy anything.

- Oh, no. Oh, no.

You do not come in for buy.

For talk.

You have been in Prescott already

one whole week.

You run here, run there,

to ask questions,

and... you do not come

to Don Miguel.

Why? I...

No, come in, come in.

Pour out

If they buy, yes.

If they don't buy, also yes!

But one dram only.

It's the rule.

For one man, one dram.

Here in Arizona it is not like

where you come from.

It isn't like Alabama.

But anyway

I think you have come to stay.

I like men who have come to stay.

They will prosper.

So I say the man who comes here

must not be able to do

only one thing good,

he must do many things good.

He must be a Jacks-of-all-trade
