Then one mornin'...
:11:01
...I hauled the bucket up
out of the well and...

:11:03
...so help me, the bucket was full of rocks.
:11:06
Rocks.
:11:07
I just stood there right still
trying not to blaspheme...

:11:10
...and said to myself:
"You've got a son that's ailin'.

:11:13
"You've got a 20-year-old daughter
who won't take a husband. "

:11:15
There she sits, moonin' as usual.
:11:17
Pa.
:11:18
"You've got another daughter,
just don't seem quite right in the head. "

:11:21
Lilith.
:11:24
Yes, Pa?
:11:27
I remind you, sir.
:11:29
I'm still standing there
holding a bucket full of rocks...

:11:33
...and staring into a bleak old age.
:11:36
So I made me a vow
right then and there. I said:

:11:38
"If I can find a man with $500
who likes rocks...

:11:43
"... then there's gonna be another fool
ownin' this farm. "

:11:46
Well, sir, the Lord provided such a man...
:11:49
...and here I am.
:11:51
He ain't told you one word of truth,
Mr. Harvey.

:11:53
We had the best farm in the township.
:11:55
Yeah, Rockville Township it was.
Stone County.

:11:57
Oh, it was not.
:11:59
It was his itchin' foot that brought us here.
:12:02
Heaven knows where we'll end up.
:12:05
Oh, these are my laddies.
Angus, Brutus and Colin.

:12:08
- How do you do?
- Hello.

:12:10
I think they're already acquainted
with your daughters.

:12:14
Be they single?
:12:15
Aye, single so far.
:12:17
Well, this Illinois country's beginning
to sound better to me.

:12:21
Lilith, strike up a little tune
for these handsome lads.

:12:25
I ain't in no mood, Pa.
:12:26
Lilith, there's a time for coaxin'.
This ain't the time.

:12:34
All right.
:12:37
"A captain bold in Halifax
:12:39
"Who lived in country quarters
:12:41
"Betrayed a maid who hanged herself
:12:43
- "One morning in her daughter's... "
- Lilith!

:12:46
Now, you know better
than to sing a song like that.

:12:49
- What ones do you know?
- We know "Yankee Doodle".

:12:52
- "Yankee Doodle"?
- Their mother's dead.

:12:54
They haven't had much learnin'
in the social graces since we left Scotland.

:12:57
All right, give 'em
"A Home in the Meadow".

:12:59
"Away, away, come away with me
