One thing I could see right off
about a big city...

:30:10
there's a whole lot of people
in trouble out there.

:30:13
You don't see it much in the daytime
when everyone's hustling around...

:30:17
rushing from where they is
to where they ain't...

:30:20
but is at night,
late at night...

:30:23
around 4 o'clock in the morning
is what I call "the dividing line".

:30:28
All you've got left
is folks in trouble.

:30:32
I'm gonna tell you people something
happened to me this morning.

:30:37
I'm going to tell you, and see if
it don't happen to you the same way.

:30:42
If it don't move your hearts...
:30:45
you're just a bunch of
big city pickle hearts.

:30:47
I'll pack up my one shirt and
the Bible my daddy gave me...

:30:50
and my cigar box guitar...
:30:52
and I'll just get me
on home to Riddle.

:30:55
Is true about the one shirt,
but I've yet to see the Bible.

:30:59
The way he talks about the night,
I couldn't write it that well.

:31:03
Come out here.
:31:04
Don't be scared of this,
at least no more than I am.

:31:09
A coloured woman.
In Memphis, that takes nerve.

:31:12
I told you, he's his own man.
:31:15
You just tell folks
the same thing you told me.

:31:17
You see, is my house...
:31:20
It burnt down.
She's got seven young ones...

:31:23
Helen, look what they're having
on television, now.

:31:27
Is about time.
:31:29
She just walked around, because
she didn't have no place else to go.

:31:34
I didn't know a single
living soul in Memphis.

:31:37
Are you kidding?
:31:39
I bet you've got 20000
friends out there.

:31:42
Each one will prove it
by sending bucks...

:31:46
so you can build a decent house
for those brats of yours.

:31:50
Now, please, noboby send in
more than $4.50...

:31:53
you might not be able to spare it.
:31:59
If you've got over $10,
cut in for that house of hers.
