The Wicker Tree Page #2

I got favors for rent J'

J' And the lovin' I give

is heaven-sent J'

J' If you buy me a beer

and want to try your luck... J'

Oh, no, no.

J' Then take me for a ride

in your pickup truck J'

J' Call me cheap,

call me a whore J'

J' That may be true

if you get in my door J'

J' There are pleasures in heaven

from God above J'

J' But, baby, nothing compares

to my trailer trash love... J'

Oh, I just hate her

( laughs )

But it's you, baby.

Not anymore, she ain't.

J' I was born in a car... J'

( turns off TV )

Oh, where are you

going, Steve?

To my room, honey.

Listen, I promise

that when we're wed

you're gonna know you married

a real little old Jezebel.

( phone ringing )

Delia.

Yeah, that concert

was wonderful.

Oh, you and Lachlan

are so kind.

No.

Steve's gotten us a whole bunch

of maps, but thank you.

Sure, we've got your numbers.

We'll call if anything comes up.

Yeah, we'll let you know

how it goes.

I really appreciate it, Delia.

Night

It would make such a difference

if you could just read through these.

- No, no, no, thank you.

- If we could just leave them with you.

- No, no, thank you. No, thank you.

- Please just take--

And if you just

take a look here at--

No, no, no.

If you just let Jesus

into your heart, sir.

Those city folk just hated our guts

- as soon as they saw us.

- Yeah, but--

A country soul

is as good as a city soul

any day in my book.

A soul is a soul, Beth.

And I think we've got a real

good chance to save some,

- thanks to our friends here.

- Steve's right, Beth.

What is the point of having

doors slammed in your faces

by these city pecple?

Now, our country neighbors

may seem like a bunch

of heathens to you,

but they will hear you out.

And that I'll promise you.

Okay.

Okay, I know we're doing

the right thing.

And don't for a minute think

that I'm not real grateful

to y'all for the invite.

It's just maybe we gave up

on them city folk too soon.

Forget it.

I'm just being dumb.

Ain't this a Rolls-Royce?

No, Steve, sir.

This is a Hotchkiss.

On a Rolls, sir,

that figure would be

the Spirit of Ecstasy.

But this here is

our goddess Sulis.

Sir Lachlan

had her made special

for this classic Hotchkiss,

built 1929,

as part of his collection

of great cars of the past,

as you may see.

Delia:
Sulis is our

Celtic name for her.

Of course, the Romans,

when they were here,

called her Minerva.

And she doesn't

suffer fools gladly.

She is the goddess

of the bright, intelligent people

we all like to think we are.

So about this goddess--

you were kidding, right?

I take it that both of you

are what you call

born again.

Yeah.

Delia:
And do intelligent
