hand me down that can o' beans

# I'm throwin' it away

# Out the winder go the beans

out the winder go the beans

# Out the winder go the beans

go the beans, go the beans

# Good times are here to stay #

Anybody seen Ben Rumson?

He left here about 20 minutes ago.

Thanks.

-Are you his pardner?

-Yeah.

He, uh, owes me $80.

He said you would stand good.

Hey, Pardner.

Can you help me get up on that mule?

You all right?

I get melancholy every now and then.

It's a disease common to

mountain men who live alone a lot,

but if you stay with me at such...

such times, uh, I'll be OK.

All right.

Did Ezra Atwell come to you

for that $80?

Yeah.

I stood good for you.

I guess this is what you meant,

when you said you expected me

to come get you

muddy drunk in the street.

And now you're gonna be my companion

in my moment of despair.

Well, you're my pardner, ain't you?

Hey. I like you, Pardner.

I like you, Ben.

Well, my mother and father's dead,

and my two brothers and myself...

we worked the... we worked the farm.

Then last year, my older brother,

he took himself a wife.

Me and my kid brother, we decided

to leave Michigan and come out here,

maybe dig some gold,

get enough money to buy some land.

'Cept now that he's gone, I don't

have too much appetite for farming.

Well, what about your girl?

-Girl?

-Yeah. Elisa.

Is she gonna come out and join you,

or did she marry your brother?

Well, to tell you the truth,

there is no Elisa.

I just...

read that name somewhere

and made it up.

Well, them's the best kind,

but what I need now

is the worst kind.

It's a living hell up here,

what with the bloody rain

and the bloody loneliness

and that bloody, bloody wind.

# Maria

# They call the wind

# Maria

# Away out here they got a name

# For rain and wind and fire

# The rain is Tess

# The fire's Joe

# And they call the wind Maria

# Maria blows the stars around

# And sends the clouds a-flyin'

# Maria makes the mountains sound

# Like folks were up there dyin'

# Maria

# Maria

# They call the wind Maria

# Before I knew Maria's name

# And heard her wail and whinin'

# I had a girl and she had me

# And the sun was always shinin'

# But then one day I left my girl

# I left her far behind me

# And now I'm lost

# So goldurn lost

# Not even God can find me

# Maria

# Maria

# They call the wind Maria

# Out here they got a name for rain

# For wind and fire only

# But when you're lost and all alone

# There ain't no word but lonely

# And I'm a lost and lonely man

# Without a star to guide me

# Maria, blow my love to me

# I need my girl beside me

# Maria

# Maria

# They call the wind Maria
