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.

1:08:03
He got drunk that night,
and he said...

1:08:06
"Boy, put me to bed."
1:08:11
So I lead that man into
the tanning yard by the lime pit.

1:08:15
I put him to bed right there.
1:08:18
I hold him under
with a cedar fence rail.

1:08:26
There was no next of kin.
1:08:28
So I got the cart, the horse...
1:08:33
preacher clothes
and this funny Bible.

1:08:39
Where are you gonna find that money?
1:08:45
I don't know.
1:08:49
If it was me, I'd look for money
where money's kept.

1:08:53
Like in a bank
or an express office.

1:08:58
We gonna walk in the bank
and just take it?
