Two men sittin in straight back chairs[00:00:04]
Feet propped up on the railin[00:00:07]
Sittin in front of the country store[00:00:10]
Discussin how the crops were failin[00:00:12]
About that time a car drove by[00:00:14]
With an Ace Insurance bumper sticker[00:00:21]
Well that must be the man been courtin Abell[00:00:23]
He's somethin of a city slicker[00:00:26]
Ah you can tell just from the way he's drivin that car[00:00:29]
Do you reckon he's goin up to see Abell[00:00:34]
You know her daddy went to Maben this day[00:00:36]
And her mommas been in Arkansas with her ailin pa[00:00:39]
Ain't nobody home that way[00:00:42]
Ha ha accept Abell[00:00:47]
Now I don't mean nothing by what I say[00:00:49]
But if you won't say it I can[00:00:52]
She ain't got no bid'ness alone[00:00:55]
With that Ace Insurance man[00:00:57]
Why there's just no tellin what might happen[00:01:00]
People ought to keep an eye on they're kids[00:01:04]
You remember about Abby Mcguinness[00:01:06]
Why'it lik'ta kill'ed her ma when she found out about it[00:01:09]
Course I know it ain't none of my bid'ness[00:01:12]
But uh well if it was me if it was me[00:01:14]
It might be too late and it would be a pity[00:01:21]
Better call up the sheriff in Calhoun city[00:01:24]
And have the preacher organize a vestigating committee[00:01:27]
To see what's going on[00:01:30]
Yes sir and we'd better hurry[00:01:34]
Tearing down the road in a pickup truck[00:01:44]
With Bentley out taking the lead[00:01:47]
Followed by a tractor and a half lame mule[00:01:50]
Dust flyin as they picked up speed[00:01:53]
Faces beaming goodness and their jaw's set hard[00:01:56]
Good people just doin what's right[00:01:58]
And off in the distance was Abell's house[00:02:01]
And there wasn't a soul in sight[00:02:04]
Aw I could'a told you[00:02:06]
Oh I just knew it[00:02:08]
Now the gravel was flying as he turned the bend[00:02:17]
And screeched to a grinding halt[00:02:21]
They went through the fence into the flower bed[00:02:23]
And hit pa's first prize hog in the head[00:02:26]
And left half a dozen mama's chickens for dead[00:02:29]
But it wasn't nobody's fault[00:02:32]
Oh look at Harvey's prize hog[00:02:35]
And all of them darlin' old grown bad trusty chickens[00:02:40]
We got more important things to tend to boy[00:02:42]
I wonder if they're covered[00:02:44]
Committee bounded on the front porch[00:02:46]
To meet the enemy face to face[00:02:48]
But Abell yelled at em through the screen door[00:02:51]
Y'all messed up my daddy's place[00:02:54]
But in her hand she waved a policy[00:02:57]
Sayin with a Mona Lisa grin[00:03:00]
Well y'all timed that one just about right[00:03:03]
'Cause Ace done struck again[00:03:05]
