Imagine me, a white man,
having to chauffeur a nigger to Memphis.

:25:10
I thought for a minute that me and you
was gonna misunderstand one another.

:25:17
Let's go.
:25:27
And so we were three, three reivers,
hightailing it for Memphis.

:25:33
Oh, "reivers"...
:25:35
that's an old-fashioned word
from my childhood.

:25:39
In plain English,
I'm afraid it meant "thieves."

:25:43
... had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o
:25:46
and on that farm he had some chicks
ee-i-ee-i-o

:25:50
and a chick-chick here
and a chick-chick there

:25:53
here a chick, there a chick
everywhere a chick-chick

:25:56
Look out!
:26:10
Look at him. Sitting there
as innocent as a new-laid egg.

:26:14
Who's he?
:26:15
He's the son of a bitch
who takes that team...

:26:17
and works this place like a patch
to keep it muddy.

:26:21
Last year he charged me $2
to pull out my wagon.

:26:27
$2? That sure beats cotton.
:26:30
He ain't gonna get me this time.
:26:33
This here is an 18-horsepower automobile
under us.
