(0.00 / 0 votes)Tall and skinny, mean tempered
and extra fast with gun.
Travels with half-wit uncle
called Uncle Roscoe something.
Round and round we're goin'
Round and round, Old Joe Clarke
And bye-bye, Lucy Long
Old Joe Clarke, he had a wife
She was seven feet tall
She slept with her head in the kitchen
And her big feet in the hall
I wished I had a sweetheart
I'd put her on the shelf
And every time she'd grin at me
I'd get up there myself
Round and round...
Melody, how many verses
you say there was to that song?
About 100, I reckon.
- 100.
- But I only know about 90 of em.
Bye-bye, Lucy Long
Round and round, Old Joe Clarke
Round and round we're goin'...
Melody, what is it?
Some cow town, it looks like.
How come here?
I thought there wasn't any till Hot Creek.
- I don't know, unless...
- Unless what?
George, you recollect that fork in the road
500 miles back, we turned right?
I just remembered we should have turned left.
It don't surprise me none.
A cowhand that goes in for breaking horses,
he's been hit
in the seat of the pants so many times,
he ain't got any brains any more,
just oatmeal in his head.
I wished I was a big, red apple
Hanging on a tree
And every pretty girl that come along
Would take a bite out of me
Round and round, Old Joe Clarke
Round and round we're goin'
Round and round, Old Joe Clarke
Bye-bye, Lucy Long
- Howdy, friend.
- Howdy.
- Where are we, old-timer?
- This here's Payneville.
Painful? What's painful?
- This here is.
- You mean generally or is this personal?
It's a bad sign when the first fella you meet
in a town is some kind of hobgoblin.
Don't go far. I don't aim to be drinking
for more than five or six hours.
- Is that him?
- Yes, I think so.
Round and round, Old Joe Clarke
Round and round we're goin'
Round and round, Old Joe Clarke
Bye-bye, Lucy Long
I guess she's got as much right
to get thirsty as a man.
- Look. She's coming out.
- Just look at that walk.
Very nice.
Very nice.
- No, Ira. Don't.
- Let go of me.
No, look.
I didn't mean nothin'.
I didn't know.
All right. From now on, don't go
making remarks about other men's girls.
Yes, sir.
No, no, sir. No.
- What's the matter with you?
- Nothing, seor
You want something maybe, please?
Give me some of them.
Tomates?
- Open em. I'll eat em here.
- S seor
Again.
Don't try to draw with him.
If you do, you're dead.
- Did he see me?
- No.
I thought he did.
He'll cross back over to get his horse.
We pushed a thousand head of cattle out there,
me and my partner, him and me.
What's more, you fuzzy-faced apes, my name
ain't Roscoe and I ain't nobody's uncle.
The next one that calls me so
will get down on the floor.
Don't look for me back, either.
I will invest my money
where at least one man ain't a lunatic.
- Drunk already?
- Let's get outta this place.
It's a spook town.
The more I see, the more I don't like it.
- They do something?
- No, outside of calling me their uncle.
It's their attitude. They're... disrespectful.
George, you take gettin' used to.
You don't make the right impression.
- You ought to know that by now.
- Ought I?
You walk in someplace where nobody don't
know you, you already got that dumb look.
You ask some fool question any papoose
could answer, like, "Where am I?"
You ain't immediately nominated for governor.
You gotta walk in kinda... unsmiling.
Unsmiling?
Look and act like you're somebody, like you can
take care of yourself no matter what happens.
- Pretty soon you are somebody.
- That what you done?
I ain't said more than two words in this town
