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]
That old fellow he did a heap of work[00:00:17]
He spent his whole life walking plowed ground[00:00:20]
He had the one roomed shack not far from us[00:00:25]
Well we's about as poor as him[00:00:28]
He had one old mule he used to call Midnight[00:00:33]
I'd tread along after then[00:00:37]
He used to plow them rows just straight and deep[00:00:41]
And I'd come along behind[00:00:45]
Busting up plows with my own bare feet[00:00:49]
Old Rivers he was a friend of mine[00:00:53]
The sun had get high and[00:00:57]
That old mule he'd work Old Rivers he'd finally say whoa[00:00:59]
He'd wipe his brow and he'd laid back on them reins[00:01:05]
He'd talk about that place he's wanna go[00:01:09]
He used to say one of these days[00:01:13]
I'm gonna climb that mountain[00:01:15]
I'm gonna walk up there among them Clouds[00:01:17]
Where the cotton's high and the corns're growing[00:01:21]
And there isn't no fields to plow[00:01:25]
I got a letter today it's from the folks back home[00:01:37]
They're all doing fine the crop's a dry[00:01:41]
Down near the Mom said end you heard Old Rivers died[00:01:45]
Sitting here now on this new plowed earth[00:01:53]
Just trying find a little shade[00:01:57]
Well sun's beating down cross them fields now I can see[00:02:01]
That mule Old Rivers and me[00:02:05]
Now one of these days[00:02:09]
I'm gonna climb that mountain[00:02:11]
Walk up there among them Clouds[00:02:13]
Where the cotton's high and the corns're growing[00:02:17]
And there isn't no fields to plow[00:02:21]
With the sun beaiting own cross them fields[00:02:25]
I see[00:02:28]
That mule Old Rivers and me[00:02:31]
