WlLLlS:
You should've seen her, Mom.
We was all set up.
Talking about getting married,
living on the 40 acres...
the whole bit.
And then some old jealous rat
went and told her old man...
that I'd been in a penitentiary,
and that was it.
Ffft. Cut me off,
couldn't see her no more.
Oh, he still wanted me to stay
on and work his crop.
Hell, I was the best
cotton picker he ever had.
Just didn't want
his beautiful daughter...
hooked up with an ex-con.
A man gonna tell me I ain't
good enough for his daughter...
but I'm good enough
to work his crop?
I said the hell with you.
MA:
No, it ain'tfair, son.Maybe you should've stayed on,
tried to work it out.
How?
How, Mom?
What, like I tried to
work it out up in Cottonwood...
when them folks
that known me all my life...
stood up and testified
against me in a court of law...
and I ain't done nothing?
I'm gonna work some things out
all right. You just watch me.
And if it ain'tfair
when it's all said and done...
it's gonna be unfair
on my side of the fence.
[Fiddle music]
GlRLS:
[Singing]Guide us to Thy side, Lord.
Guide us to Thy side.
The pathway of the righteous...
Can have no earthly load.
What good are gold and silver...
When the devil wins your soul?
Guide us to Thy side, Lord.
Guide us to Thy side.
Straight wages
God won't pay you...
His hours,they are long...
But He helps those
that help themselves...
