(0.00 / 0 votes)# Oh, listen
# Listen well
# Listen to the legend
of Chuck-A-Luck
# Listen to the song
of the gambler's wheel
# A souvenir from a bygone year
# Spinning a tale
of the old frontier
# And a man of steel...
# And a passion
that drove him on and on and on
# It began, they say, one summer day
# When the sun was blazing down
# 'Twas back in the early '70s
# So listen to the legend
of Chuck-A-Luck
# As round and round
with a whispering sound it spins
# The old, old story of hate,
murder and revenge! #
Nothing's better than that to
make a man agreeable.
- Especially at midday.
Why'd you come in town?
- To kiss you.
- You oughtn't be away.
Last calf I had an iron on
told me I could come.
When we get married...
- Eight days.
And when we get the ranch...
- Eight years.
- I found a name for it.
Yeah? What is it?
- Lost Cloud Ranch.
Pretty?
- Pretty as you.
Wow! Oh, Vern!
- Came from Paris in France, the man said.
Oh, it's beautiful for evening!
- Fine for stargazing.
Beth, where's everybody?
The folks yelled, "Coming, Tommy?"
And I couldn't make it right then.
They left! Everybody's gone!
I got nothing to do.
Do it outside. Go on, get out!
Where is everybody? Town's deserted.
The Burdens had triplets last night.
The whole town went to see them.
I told Dad I'd keep the store.
- Kids. We ought to have a lot of them.
Yes.
- One every August.
See you tonight.
Whitey.
You wait outside.
Mister, can I hold your horse?
- Get away from here.
Is there anything you'd like to see?
Yeah. I wanna see what's
in the assayer's safe.
Both of 'em. The one over there too.
Yes. Yes, all right.
Hey, hey!
Vern! Vern!
I saw him come out the store.
Then the other one fired at me.
He shot at me, the fella with
the long white hair.
- White hair?
The one that stayed outside.
No.
Vern, I don't know how to tell you
this. She wasn't spared anything.
Jim... give me your gun.
Place was empty. Just a girl
in a store. Sure looked easy.
Could've been,
if you didn't chase petticoat!
- It's not your business.
The whole town'll be after us.
- Let's move. We're in this together.
Let's split it. I'm alone from here.
- We'll split it in Chuck-A-Luck.
The tracks lead south, Sheriff.
- It's Sioux country below here.
What of it? Let's go!
I didn't mind being deputised, but I
don't wanna be butchered by Indians.
I'm turning back.
- That's my feeling, Sheriff.
I got 50 head of cattle to brand tomorrow.
- Are you all gutless?
Come on, we're losing time.
- I've no authority past this stream.
There'll be a warrant out for him.
- What's his description?
What if she was your wife?
Or your daughter?
- This is as far as we go.
I'll follow him alone.
- Don't be a fool!
You're a raw hand with a gun.
- Never mind the advice.
You've all done your duty. Get home.
Tell everybody how brave you were.
Get drunk tonight.
I hope you have good dreams.
I had to do it, that's all,
I've told you a dozen times.
What are you driving at?
What are you after?
- I want my share now.
I said we split it at Chuck-A-Luck.
when we get there.
Maybe I will, maybe I won't.
I'll do what I please.
Rattlesnake! Look out!
The man who was with you,
where is he?
The man who was with you,
where is he?
Water. Water.
- Talk, or you don't get a drop.
Where'd he head?
Where did he head?
Chuck-A-Luck. Chuck-A-Luck.
Chuck-A-Luck?
# Where and what is
Chuck-A-Luck, Chuck-A-Luck?
# Nobody knows
and the dead won't tell
# So on and on, relentlessly,
