Winter's Bone
1
Way down in Missouri
Where I heard this melody
When I was just a little baby
On my mama's knee
The old folks were humming
The banjos were strumming
So sweet and low
Hushabye my baby
Go to sleep on mama's knee
Journey back to these old hills
It seems like your mama
Was there once again
And the old folks were strumming
That same old refrain
Way down in Missouri
Where I heard this lullaby
When the stars were blinking
And the moon was shining high
And I hear mama calling
As in days long ago
Singing hushabye
Come on, Let's go.

Cradle the head,

but you're still supporting the head.

Hi, Sonya.
Hey, Ree.
You and the kids all right?
We're just a little short on cash right now.
How long's it been since the horse ate?
About four days.
That hay gets kind of expensive, don't it?
Yes ma'am.
Actually, l was wondering
if you could keep her with yours.
[gate clattering]
All right, Ginger, come on.
That's a girl.
There you go. There you go.
Have a little bit of that.
Come on. Get going.
Thank you, Sonya.
All right.

How are you today?
Ask me inside.
I need to talk some with your mama.
She don't talk much.
[Officer]
Ma'am?
I was wondering
if I could ask you a few questions.
Ma'am?
You better just tell me.
You know your daddy's
out on bond, don't you?
So what?
Looks like he's been cooking again.
l know that's the charges you laid on him,
but you ain't proved it on him.
You got to prove it every time.
Well, that won't be no hard thing to do,
but that ain't even why l'm here.
His court date's next week,
and l can't seem to turn him up.
Maybe he sees you and ducks.
That could be,
but where you all come into this is,
he put this house here,
and your timber acres, up for his bond.
He what, now?
Jessup signed over everything.
Now, if he doesn't show at trial, see,
the way the deal works is,
you all gonna lose this place.
You got some place to go?
l'll find him.
- Girl, I've been looking.
- I said I'll find him.
