Old Rivers - Walter Brennan[00:00:00]

How old was I when I first seen old Rivers [00:00:09]

I can't remember when he weren't around[00:00:13]

Well that old fellow did a heap of work[00:00:17]

Spent his whole life walking plowed ground [00:00:20]

He had a one-room shack not far from us[00:00:25]

And well we was about as poor as him[00:00:28]

He had one old mule he called Midnight[00:00:33]

And I'd trailed along after them [00:00:37]

He used to plow them rows straight and deep[00:00:40]

And I'd come along near behind[00:00:45]

A-bustin' up clods with my own bare feet[00:00:48]

Old Rivers was a friend of mine [00:00:53]

That sun'd get high and that mule would work[00:00:57]

Till old Rivers'd final say Whoa [00:01:01]

He'd wipe his brow lean back on the reins[00:01:05]

And talk about a place he was gonna go [00:01:08]

He'd say one of these days[00:01:12]

I'm gonna climb that mountain[00:01:14]

Walk up there amoung the clouds[00:01:16]

Where the cotton's high[00:01:20]

And the corn's a-growin'[00:01:22]

And there ain't no fields to plow [00:01:24]

I got a letter today from the folks back home and[00:01:36]

They're all fine and crops is dry[00:01:40]

Down at the end my mama said Son[00:01:45]

You know old Rivers died [00:01:49]

Just sittin' here now on this new-plowed earth[00:01:52]

Trying to find me a little shade[00:01:56]

With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see[00:02:00]

That mule old Rivers and me [00:02:04]

Now one of these days[00:02:08]

I'm gonna climb that mountain[00:02:10]

Walk up there amoung the clouds[00:02:12]

Where the cotton's high[00:02:16]

And the corn's a-growin'[00:02:18]

And there ain't no fields to plow [00:02:20]

With the sun beating down 'cross the field I see[00:02:24]

That mule old Rivers and me[00:02:30]
