I just don't know which way
to turn no more. I think they beat me.

1:06:08
Couldn't drivers do it in slavery days,
nor the rebels in the war...

1:06:12
but now I think...
1:06:14
they beat me.
1:06:19
You're just tired.
1:06:22
When it's dark, looks like the heart
just gets to hurting sometimes.

1:06:28
You gonna keep on fightin'
best way you can.

1:06:31
Looks like there
just ain't no other way.

1:06:35
I love you, Buck.
1:07:09
Where'd you get them cannons?
1:07:13
Gunsmith in Fort Leavenworth.
1:07:17
Where'd you get that funny Bible?
1:07:21
That my inheritance.
1:07:24
Before the war when I was a boy...
1:07:26
my mama and me was sold
to this traveling preacher.

1:07:29
I'd fetch for him,
and take up collection.

1:07:32
And when he got drunk,
I'd haul him off to bed.

1:07:34
He traveled in these little towns
preaching sin and hellfire.

1:07:38
And when he got them gals
full of the Holy Spirit...

1:07:40
when they're ready to repent,
he'd jig 'em.

1:07:44
Between while...
1:07:46
he'd take my mama to bed.
1:07:48
I'd sleep out with the horse.
1:07:52
By and by, about 16, he sent me
to town for a jug of whiskey.

1:07:56
When I come back, my mama was gone.
1:07:59
He sold her
for a couple hundred dollars.
