Two men sittin in straight back chairs[00:00:06]

Feet propped up on the railin[00:00:08]

Sittin in front of the country store[00:00:11]

Discussin how the crops were failin[00:00:14]

About that time a car drove by[00:00:20]

With an Ace Insurance bumper sticker[00:00:22]

Well that must be the man been courtin Abell[00:00:25]

He's somethin of a city slicker[00:00:28]

Ah you can tell just from the way he's drivin that car[00:00:30]

Do you reckon he's goin up to see Abell[00:00:35]

You know her daddy went to Maben this day[00:00:38]

And her mommas been in Arkansas with her ailin pa[00:00:41]

Ain't nobody home that way[00:00:44]

Ha ha accept Abell[00:00:48]

Now I don't mean nothing by what I say[00:00:50]

But if you won't say it I can[00:00:53]

She ain't got no bid'ness alone[00:00:57]

With that Ace Insurance man[00:00:59]

Why there's just no tellin what might happen[00:01:02]

People ought to keep an eye on they're kids[00:01:05]

You remember about Abby Mcguinness[00:01:08]

Why'it lik'ta kill'ed her ma when she found out about it[00:01:11]

Course I know it ain't none of my bid'ness[00:01:13]

But uh well if it was me if it was me[00:01:16]

It might be too late and it would be a pity[00:01:23]

Better call up the sheriff in Calhoun city[00:01:26]

And have the preacher organize a vestigating committee[00:01:29]

To see what's going on[00:01:32]

Yes sir and we'd better hurry[00:01:35]

Tearing down the road in a pickup truck[00:01:46]

With Bentley out taking the lead[00:01:49]

Followed by a tractor and a half lame mule[00:01:52]

Dust flyin as they picked up speed[00:01:54]

Faces beaming goodness and their jaw's set hard[00:01:57]

Good people just doin what's right[00:02:00]

And off in the distance was Abell's house[00:02:03]

And there wasn't a soul in sight[00:02:05]

Aw I could'a told you[00:02:08]

Oh I just knew it[00:02:12]

Now the gravel was flying as he turned the bend[00:02:19]

And screeched to a grinding halt[00:02:22]

They went through the fence into the flower bed[00:02:25]

And hit pa's first prize hog in the head[00:02:28]

And left half a dozen mama's chickens for dead[00:02:30]

But it wasn't nobody's fault[00:02:33]

Oh look at Harvey's prize hog[00:02:37]

And all of them darlin' old grown bad trusty chickens[00:02:40]

We got more important things to tend to boy[00:02:44]

I wonder if they're covered[00:02:46]

Committee bounded on the front porch[00:02:48]

To meet the enemy face to face[00:02:50]

But Abell yelled at em through the screen door[00:02:54]

Y'all messed up my daddy's place[00:02:56]

But in her hand she waved a policy[00:02:59]

Sayin with a Mona Lisa grin[00:03:01]

Well y'all timed that one just about right[00:03:05]

'Cause Ace done struck again[00:03:07]
