(woman singing) |
00:00:33 |
(music) When green leaves |
00:00:38 |
(music) This young man |
00:00:43 |
(music) For the love of Barbara Allen (music) |
00:00:49 |
(music) He sent his man |
00:00:53 |
(music) To the town |
00:00:59 |
(music) "You must come |
00:01:03 |
(music) If your name |
00:01:09 |
(music) So slowly, slowly |
00:01:14 |
(music) And slowly |
00:01:19 |
(music) And all she said |
00:01:24 |
(music) "Young man, |
00:01:30 |
(music) He turned his face |
00:01:34 |
(music) And death came |
00:01:40 |
(music) Adieu, adieu, |
00:01:45 |
(music) And adieu |
00:01:51 |
(music) When he was dead |
00:01:56 |
(music) Then death came |
00:02:01 |
(music) O mother, mother, |
00:02:06 |
(music) For his death |
00:02:11 |
(music) And so this maid |
00:02:17 |
(music) And desired |
00:02:22 |
(music) And repented she |
00:02:27 |
(music) That e'er she did |
00:02:38 |
Now... |
00:02:40 |
there you have a fine example |
00:02:44 |
a folk song, defined |
00:02:47 |
by the common people, |
00:02:50 |
The melodies |
00:02:52 |
but you must learn |
00:02:54 |
not only |
00:02:56 |
but the simple purity |
00:03:01 |
(humming) |
00:03:07 |
Oh. |
00:03:09 |
Good afternoon, |
00:03:11 |
I wanted to catch you today, |
00:03:13 |
I wanted to tell you |
00:03:16 |
has reviewed your application |
00:03:19 |
And we've concluded |
00:03:22 |
that we can not |
00:03:25 |
However, we hope |
00:03:27 |
as an associate professor |
00:03:29 |
at your current salary level, |
00:03:32 |
Dr. Penleric: Why, may I ask, |
00:03:36 |
It is not customary |
00:03:38 |
to defend our position, |
00:03:42 |
It appears we have |
00:03:44 |
to offer the position to |
00:03:48 |
and ballad collector, |
00:03:51 |
who as you know, has almost |
00:03:54 |
a revival |
00:03:58 |
Oh, Dean Pembroke. |
00:03:59 |
What is it, Professor Aldrich? |
00:04:01 |
Nothing, sir, I just stopped by |
00:04:04 |
Well, I was just leaving. |
00:04:11 |
(door closes) |
00:04:14 |
I argued for you, Lily, |
00:04:16 |
as emphatically as I dared. |
00:04:18 |
I have waited longer |
00:04:20 |
than anyone else |
00:04:23 |
Frankly, |
00:04:25 |
Dr. Penleric: Really? |
00:04:27 |
Dean Pembroke said |
00:04:30 |
I was afraid someone |
00:04:36 |
Dr. Whittle is |
00:04:38 |
Of course he is, |
00:04:41 |
Lily, |
00:04:43 |
I've arranged |
00:04:45 |
so I can come into town |
00:04:51 |
I won't be here, Wallace. |
00:04:55 |
Where are you going? |
00:04:56 |
As far away as possible. |
00:04:59 |
Please don't go away. |
00:05:01 |
I know how disappointed |
00:05:05 |
Lily, wait. |
00:05:06 |
Why don't I meet you |
00:05:08 |
My wife won't be home |
00:05:15 |
Are you mad, Lily? |
00:05:18 |
You coward! |
00:05:20 |
Backing my appointment |
00:05:21 |
I ever asked you for. |
00:05:24 |
But... |
00:05:27 |
(rooster crowing) |
00:05:43 |
You Miss Elna's sister? |
00:05:46 |
Yes, yes, yes, I am. |
00:05:48 |
I'm here to take you |
00:05:50 |
I'm Fate Honeycutt. |
00:05:52 |
Oh, hello, |
00:05:56 |
A doctor, huh? |
00:05:58 |
That's just fine. |
00:05:59 |
We could sure use |
00:06:02 |
Oh, I'm not a medical doctor. |
00:06:04 |
Well, what kind are you? |
00:06:07 |
I'm a doctor of music, |
00:06:13 |
sort of an expert. |
00:06:15 |
I see. |
00:06:20 |
Thank you. |
00:06:24 |
Well, hop on up, Doc. |
00:06:32 |
Here, just put your foot |
00:06:34 |
I'll help you up. |
00:06:41 |
Fate: Giddup. |
00:07:07 |
Fate: Giddup. |
00:07:16 |
What if we meet |
00:07:19 |
coming down the mountain? |
00:07:22 |
That would be something. |
00:07:25 |
Oh! |
00:07:39 |
(distant banjo music plays) |
00:07:45 |
Someone's playing music? |
00:08:02 |
- Oh, Lily! |
00:08:08 |
It's been so long. |
00:08:10 |
Yes. |
00:08:12 |
I thought you said it was |
00:08:16 |
Woman: She meant |
00:08:18 |
Used to take three days |
00:08:21 |
This is my sister, Lily. |
00:08:24 |
Lily, this is my colleague |
00:08:29 |
- How do you do? |
00:08:31 |
This is Deladis Slocumb. |
00:08:35 |
so we get to keep her here |
00:08:38 |
How do you do, ma'am? |
00:08:40 |
How do you do? |
00:08:42 |
Elna's told me |
00:08:45 |
"Elna"? |
00:08:46 |
Oh, that's what |
00:08:49 |
It's caught on with me, too. |
00:08:52 |
I suppose it's a lot better |
00:08:54 |
which is what |
00:08:56 |
(chuckling) |
00:08:57 |
You must be exhausted. |
00:09:00 |
I am. |
00:09:02 |
Would you like to rest |
00:09:06 |
Uh... |
00:09:08 |
- Could you help me, dearest? |
00:09:10 |
Thank you so much. |
00:09:13 |
It's very hot. |
00:09:15 |
I know. |
00:09:36 |
Along with |
00:09:38 |
we also teach hygiene |
00:09:42 |
And music, of course. |
00:09:44 |
Deladis, why don't you |
00:09:48 |
Deladis, |
00:09:52 |
That's a real pretty fan. |
00:09:54 |
Thank you, dear. |
00:09:58 |
(crow cawing) |
00:10:01 |
Thank you, dear. |
00:10:06 |
Aren't you frightened here? |
00:10:11 |
What of? |
00:10:13 |
Oh, savage mountaineers. |
00:10:16 |
Reports of violence |
00:10:18 |
(laughing) |
00:10:20 |
Horribly exaggerated, |
00:10:23 |
Deladis, |
00:10:25 |
one of your pretty songs |
00:10:28 |
Oh, please, please do. |
00:10:42 |
(music) 'Twas in the merry |
00:10:47 |
(music) When all gay flowers |
00:10:52 |
(music) Sweet William |
00:10:58 |
(music) For the love |
00:11:04 |
(music) He sent his servant |
00:11:09 |
(music) He sent him |
00:11:14 |
(music) Sayin', "Master's sick (music) |
00:11:17 |
(music) and very sick (music) |
00:11:20 |
(music) And for your sake |
00:11:25 |
Deladis, where did you |
00:11:29 |
My granny gave it to me. |
00:11:31 |
Was your grandmother |
00:11:33 |
You mean, across the ocean? |
00:11:36 |
No, no. |
00:11:38 |
Granny lived and died |
00:11:41 |
Lily: Then where |
00:11:44 |
Granny said she got |
00:11:47 |
from her mama. |
00:11:49 |
Do you know |
00:11:52 |
love songs. |
00:11:55 |
Oh. I know lots of them. |
00:11:57 |
I know "Lord Randall," |
00:12:01 |
"Jacqueline Is Sailing," |
00:12:03 |
I know "Young Emily." |
00:12:05 |
Would you sing |
00:12:08 |
Harriet: It's all right, dear. |
00:12:11 |
(music) O sister, o sister |
00:12:15 |
Lily... I told you |
00:12:18 |
I'm calling |
00:12:20 |
- Where are you? |
00:12:23 |
What on earth are you doing |
00:12:26 |
Lily: Never mind that. |
00:12:28 |
a great discovery. |
00:12:32 |
What are you talking about? |
00:12:33 |
Lily: The mountain people |
00:12:35 |
over 200 years ago. |
00:12:38 |
The same songs |
00:12:39 |
has been collecting |
00:12:41 |
songs which haven't been known |
00:12:43 |
- What of it, Lily? |
00:12:47 |
I want you to come home. |
00:12:49 |
Don't you understand? |
00:12:51 |
These may be the purest |
00:12:54 |
- That's ridiculous. |
00:12:57 |
And I am going to be |
00:12:59 |
and to publish them. |
00:13:00 |
Nothing I could have said |
00:13:02 |
would have s e cured |
00:13:04 |
Nothing you do now |
00:13:08 |
Will you help me, |
00:13:13 |
I have always |
00:13:15 |
Lily: Good. |
00:13:17 |
The collecting must be done |
00:13:53 |
Now, nice and loud. |
00:13:58 |
(music) A holiday, O holy day (music) |
00:14:01 |
(music) The first day of they ear (music) |
00:14:04 |
(music) Little Matthy Groves |
00:14:06 |
(music) Some holy words to hear (music) |
00:14:08 |
(music) Here some holy words |
00:14:11 |
(play back) (music) He spied some women |
00:14:14 |
(music) As they came into view (music) |
00:14:16 |
(music) Lord Daniel's wife |
00:14:19 |
(music) The flower of the few (music) |
00:14:21 |
(music) Here the flower |
00:14:24 |
(music) She stepped up |
00:14:27 |
(music) Her eyes cast |
00:14:29 |
Deladis: (music) Come all y e fair |
00:14:35 |
(music) Be careful |
00:14:41 |
- (music) They're like... (music) |
00:14:42 |
Could you sing those two lines again? |
00:14:47 |
Why don't you just make |
00:14:50 |
Because the cylinders |
00:14:54 |
and they wear out. |
00:14:58 |
(music) Come all y e fair |
00:15:04 |
(music) Be careful |
00:15:17 |
(Deladi's singing in distance) |
00:15:19 |
Are you still working |
00:15:21 |
I'm trying, |
00:15:26 |
I wonder how many times your sister |
00:15:29 |
No, don't, don't be angry. |
00:15:32 |
It makes her very happy. |
00:15:34 |
She's quite obsessed. |
00:15:37 |
So am I. |
00:15:40 |
Deladis: (music) She cried out |
00:15:44 |
(music) O Lord, O Lord, I'm ruined. (music) |
00:15:50 |
(sighing) |
00:15:52 |
I'm worn out |
00:15:54 |
Uh, just those last two lines |
00:16:02 |
(music) She cried out |
00:16:05 |
(music) O Lord, O Lord, I'm ruined. (music) |
00:16:11 |
(sighing) |
00:16:13 |
That's the very last ballad |
00:16:16 |
And what a doozy. |
00:16:20 |
Mm. |
00:16:42 |
(Lily chuckling) |
00:16:44 |
What's this for? |
00:16:46 |
That's for all your hard work. |
00:16:50 |
Just for singing? |
00:16:52 |
U h-hmm. |
00:16:58 |
- Here. |
00:17:00 |
(music) and tender ladies (music) |
00:17:04 |
(music) Be careful |
00:17:09 |
(music) They're like a bright star |
00:17:14 |
(music) They'll first appear |
00:17:21 |
I'm gonna tie a lover's knot. |
00:17:25 |
If it stays and grows, |
00:17:27 |
all will be well. |
00:17:33 |
Where did you get |
00:17:36 |
Doc gave it to me |
00:17:44 |
(screaming) |
00:17:47 |
(Lily humming) |
00:17:55 |
Hello? |
00:17:56 |
Oh, Eleanor, |
00:17:59 |
It really is. |
00:18:00 |
You see, Deladis sings, |
00:18:02 |
in a Scots-Irish style, |
00:18:05 |
but she employs |
00:18:08 |
And she dwells on notes. |
00:18:10 |
(music) Tay-ay-ble, here's... (music) |
00:18:13 |
Can you hear that? |
00:18:15 |
I have never heard |
00:18:17 |
Tell me, |
00:18:20 |
is that typical? |
00:18:21 |
- Yes, I think it is. |
00:18:23 |
It's fascinating. |
00:18:25 |
So what do you think |
00:18:27 |
H mm? |
00:18:29 |
Oh... |
00:18:34 |
- Well, I'm no expert... |
00:18:36 |
- I'm sure it's fine. |
00:18:39 |
We are trying |
00:18:40 |
Yes, of course. |
00:18:42 |
(sobbing) |
00:18:44 |
Elna: Oh, Deladis, |
00:18:49 |
- Oh, Fate, did you do this? |
00:18:53 |
You give her |
00:18:55 |
and a whole dollar |
00:18:56 |
- You ain't give me nothing. |
00:18:59 |
and I think we pay you |
00:19:03 |
Then I'll do nothing for Doc. |
00:19:06 |
Then I'll have to find |
00:19:08 |
No, no, Eleanor, |
00:19:10 |
He has had to work a lot harder |
00:19:13 |
That's right, Doc. |
00:19:15 |
So how's 50¢ a week, |
00:19:20 |
I don't know. |
00:19:24 |
While you're thinking, you can |
00:19:27 |
We're going |
00:19:29 |
She's going to Viney Butler's. |
00:19:31 |
You can't lug that machine |
00:19:33 |
We made it this far, |
00:19:36 |
That was nothing compared |
00:19:38 |
So what am I paying you for? |
00:19:55 |
- Whoa, whoa. |
00:20:09 |
I don't know no ballads. |
00:20:11 |
Why, Mrs. Butler, |
00:20:13 |
beautiful songs |
00:20:15 |
songs like |
00:20:18 |
"Two Sisters," |
00:20:20 |
Can't say I know them. |
00:20:23 |
Deladis calls them |
00:20:28 |
No, did you ever hear |
00:20:31 |
Del knew, |
00:20:35 |
Deladis can't be the only keeper |
00:20:39 |
I can't be |
00:20:41 |
I would be happy |
00:20:44 |
to pay you, Mrs. Butler. |
00:20:47 |
Good day to you. |
00:20:51 |
Hello, Viney. |
00:20:54 |
Well, look who's here! |
00:20:56 |
- You must be Elna's sister. |
00:20:59 |
I'm so happy to meet you. |
00:21:02 |
Well, how do you do? |
00:21:04 |
What are you trudging |
00:21:07 |
I wanted to meet Dr. Penleric. |
00:21:11 |
Oh. Fate. |
00:21:13 |
My family spent summers |
00:21:18 |
I loved hiking up |
00:21:19 |
and reading poetry. |
00:21:22 |
That's how I met Reese, |
00:21:24 |
He wooed me with ballads |
00:21:27 |
I've been writing them down |
00:21:30 |
You can have them |
00:21:32 |
Thank you, thank you. |
00:21:34 |
they are indeed exactly |
00:21:37 |
I'm afraid these haven't been |
00:21:41 |
Oh. |
00:21:45 |
Well I can't be sure |
00:21:48 |
because of the irregular times |
00:21:52 |
Of course, |
00:21:55 |
Oh... |
00:21:59 |
that is beautiful. |
00:22:03 |
Come here, child. |
00:22:11 |
Viney: You are weak as water. |
00:22:15 |
Oh, that baby is sucking |
00:22:18 |
U h-uh. |
00:22:21 |
I can barely |
00:22:23 |
Reese gone again? |
00:22:30 |
- Mrs. Kincaid, thank you. |
00:22:35 |
Here now, you... |
00:22:37 |
make a potion out of this. |
00:22:39 |
and do not go dragging |
00:22:42 |
Viney, the ballads |
00:22:47 |
Why, they're just songs. |
00:22:50 |
Oh, no, Mrs. Butler, |
00:22:51 |
They're ancient ballads |
00:22:54 |
and they've been sung |
00:22:56 |
they say that my great-granddaddy |
00:23:01 |
He came over that mountain |
00:23:05 |
Really? |
00:23:06 |
No one knows that these songs |
00:23:08 |
right here in the mountains |
00:23:10 |
What of it? |
00:23:12 |
Music experts |
00:23:14 |
So I am going to write them down |
00:23:18 |
Well, Lord knows I can't |
00:23:21 |
Viney, |
00:23:23 |
I think she's |
00:23:30 |
Viney on re cord: |
00:23:34 |
(music) Or Jimmy Scotland's king? (music) |
00:23:38 |
(music) Or is it the father |
00:23:41 |
(music) From Scotland |
00:23:45 |
(music) Or is it the father |
00:23:49 |
(music) From Scotland |
00:23:57 |
(music) He took the brown girl |
00:24:01 |
(music) And lead her |
00:24:06 |
(music) He took out his sword (music) |
00:24:09 |
(music) And cut off her head (music) |
00:24:12 |
(music) And kicked it |
00:24:15 |
(music) And he kicked it |
00:24:20 |
have you got it? |
00:24:22 |
One more time, Viney. |
00:24:24 |
I thought |
00:24:27 |
Viney. |
00:24:28 |
Oh, Tom! |
00:24:30 |
Is the day gone already? |
00:24:32 |
Sure is. |
00:24:34 |
Corn is coming up fine |
00:24:38 |
Oh, this is Dr. Lily Penleric. |
00:24:40 |
She's Miss Elna's sister. |
00:24:44 |
H m. |
00:24:46 |
How do you do? |
00:24:49 |
How do you do? |
00:24:53 |
Viney: Lily is a doctor |
00:24:55 |
She's catching |
00:24:58 |
She says theyre important. |
00:25:00 |
Important? |
00:25:03 |
I'm going to publish them |
00:25:07 |
No, you're not. |
00:25:09 |
Nobody's gonna publish |
00:25:11 |
This is my grandson, |
00:25:15 |
He's been to the other world |
00:25:16 |
and he thinks he knows |
00:25:20 |
Mr. Bledsoe, |
00:25:23 |
My intention is to exalt |
00:25:28 |
Exalt? |
00:25:30 |
Yes, it means "to lift up." |
00:25:33 |
You mean exploit. |
00:25:38 |
I am a musicologist, |
00:25:40 |
My work is to preserve |
00:25:43 |
First it was the coal and lumber |
00:25:46 |
now they want to take |
00:25:48 |
These songs are |
00:25:50 |
to anyone who studies |
00:25:52 |
You're gonna get paid for it, |
00:25:55 |
- Yes, I am. |
00:25:57 |
I can assure you |
00:26:00 |
- U m-hmm. |
00:26:01 |
I'm the one who's going |
00:26:03 |
and expense |
00:26:04 |
and I'm the one |
00:26:07 |
to write them down |
00:26:08 |
and scientifically. |
00:26:10 |
Oh, you do, do you? |
00:26:15 |
Her name will appear before |
00:26:17 |
which I include in the book, |
00:26:19 |
as the source from which |
00:26:20 |
"By Viney Butler," |
00:26:23 |
Well, you can't collect |
00:26:26 |
unless you pay her. |
00:26:29 |
I have offered. |
00:26:34 |
You refused? |
00:26:36 |
How can I take money |
00:26:39 |
My mama used to sing |
00:26:41 |
rocking the young-uns to sleep |
00:26:43 |
Doctor, I'm asking |
00:26:45 |
to leave. |
00:26:48 |
Viney: Tom! |
00:26:50 |
I can give my songs |
00:26:53 |
- No, you can't. |
00:26:56 |
Besides, it's supper time |
00:27:00 |
U h, no, thank you, |
00:27:02 |
Really, I should be |
00:27:04 |
You're gonna take my songs |
00:27:06 |
the hospitality of my home? |
00:27:27 |
My man's father built this place |
00:27:31 |
Ive raised nine children |
00:27:35 |
only two of them still living. |
00:27:37 |
I'm sorry. |
00:27:39 |
Oh, one's working the coal mines |
00:27:42 |
and one's in Missouri. |
00:27:55 |
(belching) |
00:27:56 |
That was good, Granny, |
00:28:00 |
(tuning) |
00:28:06 |
Tom's a fine musician. |
00:28:09 |
Really? |
00:28:10 |
U m-hmm, he plays the banjo |
00:28:13 |
Oh, Tom! |
00:28:15 |
Tom, what's that thing called? |
00:28:17 |
- That thing? |
00:28:19 |
How many times |
00:28:21 |
He got it in Cuba, |
00:28:23 |
in the Spanish War. |
00:28:25 |
It's a lovely instrument. |
00:28:27 |
Mmm, he is the only one |
00:28:29 |
got one of those things. |
00:28:34 |
Do you play music, Doctor, |
00:28:37 |
or do you just steal |
00:28:42 |
I am a pianist, Mr. Bledsoe. |
00:28:46 |
A pianist? |
00:28:47 |
I heard of them! |
00:28:51 |
Tom, come on, play some |
00:28:54 |
Come on! Come on! |
00:28:57 |
please, I would like that. |
00:29:03 |
(fast picking) |
00:29:30 |
(Viney clapping, laughing) |
00:29:32 |
(door bangs open) |
00:29:35 |
Hilliard, you almost |
00:29:38 |
Sorry, Viney. |
00:29:40 |
You coming, Tom?! |
00:29:44 |
I'll be right there. |
00:29:48 |
Mr. Bledsoe, where did you |
00:29:51 |
I taught him. |
00:29:55 |
I would like to re cord you |
00:29:58 |
No, thank you. |
00:30:03 |
(door slamming shut) |
00:30:06 |
N ever mind Tom. |
00:30:09 |
He's like most |
00:30:11 |
who went to the other world |
00:30:13 |
he just never seemed |
00:30:17 |
they just can't seem |
00:30:20 |
and be happy. |
00:30:30 |
Would you show me |
00:30:33 |
H mm. |
00:30:39 |
Well, it's all in the picking. |
00:30:42 |
(up tempo tune) |
00:30:49 |
Fate, did you see to Alice |
00:30:52 |
Yes, ma'am, I caught them |
00:30:54 |
- We had a fine supper. |
00:30:56 |
Oh, we have all to do |
00:30:58 |
these old songs |
00:31:01 |
Well, I'm looking |
00:31:02 |
Oh, Lily... |
00:31:04 |
Listen, if you hear |
00:31:08 |
like a woman screaming, |
00:31:13 |
And you're gonna be dead |
00:31:15 |
What you do is pull off |
00:31:19 |
and run real hard. |
00:31:21 |
And then the panther cat |
00:31:23 |
and tear up the clothes |
00:31:25 |
to shreds! |
00:31:29 |
Viney, that is ridiculous. |
00:31:40 |
Lily: Oops. |
00:31:43 |
(owl hooting) |
00:31:47 |
- What was that? |
00:31:49 |
Are you sure? |
00:31:50 |
You'll know the panther cry |
00:31:53 |
- (rifle cocking) |
00:31:55 |
Damn near got your fool head |
00:31:58 |
I didn't know you had |
00:32:01 |
What about her? |
00:32:05 |
What about her? |
00:32:10 |
Go on, get, |
00:32:16 |
- Fate. |
00:32:26 |
Eleanor? Eleanor? |
00:32:29 |
Eleanor... |
00:32:31 |
I have had the most |
00:32:35 |
(gasping) |
00:32:39 |
Oh, no. |
00:33:01 |
Lily, I'd like |
00:33:08 |
I'm very tired. |
00:33:10 |
I don't want to talk. |
00:33:18 |
I think we should talk. |
00:33:29 |
(sighing) |
00:33:31 |
How could you, Eleanor? |
00:33:34 |
You sound so like Father. |
00:33:37 |
I'm not a child. |
00:33:38 |
You're teachers! |
00:33:40 |
What kind of an example |
00:33:45 |
You're disgusting. |
00:33:56 |
She's the finest person |
00:34:12 |
And I suppose... |
00:34:14 |
Harriet is a lot older and... |
00:34:17 |
more experienced |
00:34:20 |
I suppose it's her fault. |
00:34:25 |
It's nobody's fault. |
00:34:38 |
We're in love. |
00:35:05 |
Viney: (music) She drew |
00:35:08 |
(music) And stabbed him |
00:35:13 |
(music) She cried out |
00:35:16 |
(music) There's a dead man |
00:35:19 |
(music) There's a dead man |
00:35:22 |
We came to see the machine |
00:35:23 |
that sings the songs |
00:35:26 |
I'm not using it |
00:35:28 |
See, you got to save it, Polly, |
00:35:31 |
My brother's a songcatcher. |
00:35:34 |
That's very nice, but I'm afraid |
00:35:36 |
to be a reliable source. |
00:35:37 |
Come on, Tommy Lee, |
00:35:39 |
Girl: Oh, shotgun. |
00:35:40 |
- (cocking) |
00:35:43 |
Get the hell out of my yard, |
00:35:48 |
I've been hearing this excitement |
00:35:51 |
I came to see for myself. |
00:35:52 |
Tom told you we're not selling. |
00:35:54 |
He also told you |
00:35:56 |
if you came round again. |
00:35:58 |
Viney, it's that kind of talk |
00:36:01 |
a terrible impression |
00:36:05 |
- Isn't that right, miss? |
00:36:09 |
Doctor! |
00:36:12 |
McFarland Coal Company. |
00:36:14 |
Very pleased to make |
00:36:17 |
It's fine to see |
00:36:19 |
the charm of our local music. |
00:36:21 |
For myself however, |
00:36:23 |
the elegant perfection |
00:36:25 |
by Mr. Johann Sebastian Bach. |
00:36:30 |
I don't think such comparisons |
00:36:35 |
they are apples and oranges. |
00:36:38 |
Are you a musician? |
00:36:39 |
No, ma'am. |
00:36:41 |
- Oh. |
00:36:43 |
I had the privilege |
00:36:46 |
Bachelor of Sciences, |
00:36:49 |
Really? |
00:36:53 |
I guess I see your point. |
00:36:56 |
Maybe you can |
00:36:58 |
into this stubborn |
00:37:01 |
Mrs. Butler? |
00:37:03 |
She has no need |
00:37:05 |
Don't you think |
00:37:07 |
a nice new house |
00:37:10 |
Time to sing and rest? |
00:37:12 |
She could even learn |
00:37:14 |
instead of working her fingers |
00:37:17 |
I can make a living on a rock |
00:37:19 |
I was born on this mountain |
00:37:23 |
And so are you. |
00:37:27 |
This place is nothing |
00:37:30 |
You know he was made |
00:37:33 |
(painful screaming) |
00:37:38 |
Alice: Oh. Oh... |
00:37:41 |
(howling) |
00:37:48 |
Isabel, go to my place. |
00:37:52 |
and tell Tom to bring |
00:37:54 |
Isabel: |
00:37:57 |
- I'll take them, Viney. |
00:38:05 |
Alice: Help me, help me, please, |
00:38:15 |
Oh, I can't stop the bleeding |
00:38:18 |
You gotta help me. |
00:38:20 |
(moaning) |
00:38:22 |
No, no, I couldn't. |
00:38:23 |
She can't do it by hers elf. |
00:38:25 |
Come here, give me your hand. |
00:38:28 |
Now put them right here, |
00:38:30 |
When I tell you to, |
00:38:34 |
- No. No. No. |
00:38:39 |
Viney: Ready? |
00:38:42 |
Now! |
00:39:06 |
Viney: Well, I guess |
00:39:09 |
keep you a little while longer. |
00:39:11 |
And you got yours elf here, |
00:39:14 |
another sweet, little |
00:39:20 |
Will she live? |
00:39:22 |
Well, it was a struggle |
00:39:24 |
but it's in the good Lord's |
00:39:29 |
(sighing) |
00:39:35 |
Alice, you're gonna have to keep |
00:39:44 |
Well, if you |
00:39:46 |
you got to pull |
00:39:50 |
(snickering) |
00:40:04 |
Oh, sweet baby girl. |
00:40:06 |
I hope you grow up smart |
00:40:10 |
and stay single. |
00:40:14 |
(music) When I was single (music) |
00:40:16 |
(music) When I dress ed |
00:40:19 |
(music) Now I am married (music) |
00:40:22 |

00:40:34 |
(chuckling) |
00:40:35 |
(music) When I was single (music) |
00:40:38 |
(music) My shoes did squeak (music) |
00:40:40 |

(music) My shoes they do leak (music) |
00:40:45 |
(music) I wish I was |

(music) I'd rather be dead (music) |
00:41:05 |
(music) I wish I was |

(music) O Lord, (music) |

(music) Don't I wish I was |
00:41:15 |
(laughing) |
00:41:16 |
(music) When he comes in (music) |
00:41:19 |
(music) It's a curse and a row (music) |
00:41:22 |
(music) knocking down the children (music) |
00:41:24 |
(music) And pulling out my hair (music) |
00:41:27 |
(music) I wish I was |

(music) Dishes to wash... (music) |
00:41:41 |
Reese, where in hell |
00:41:46 |
Alice. |
00:41:48 |
You came home. |
00:41:52 |
Lily... |
00:41:54 |
please take the painting. |
00:42:15 |
Tom: Did she live? |
00:42:22 |
Yes. |
00:42:28 |
What about the baby? |
00:42:34 |
Hopefully. |
00:42:38 |
Thank the Lord. |
00:42:40 |
(pops cork) |
00:42:41 |
(sighing) |
00:42:49 |
You're having a real backwoods |
00:42:56 |
Are you drunk? |
00:43:01 |
I'm not drunk, |
00:43:06 |
celebrating. |
00:43:09 |
Lily: There's no cause |
00:43:13 |
they could still die. |
00:43:16 |
In case it's news to you, |
00:43:18 |
suffering is a woman's lot. |
00:43:21 |
I am perfectly well aware |
00:43:24 |
God knows, I wish I weren't. |
00:43:27 |
You really are an ignorant, |
00:43:29 |
You have absolutely no idea |
00:43:31 |
- has just been through! |
00:43:35 |
My wife died at childbirth |
00:43:37 |
when we were 16 years old. |
00:43:41 |
She bled to death |
00:43:45 |
So don't you tell me |
00:44:07 |
"Dear Wallace, |
00:44:09 |
Enclosed are 10 |
00:44:11 |
I have collected so far. |
00:44:14 |
I am sure you will realize |
00:44:15 |
what a remarkable |
00:44:18 |
The songs are virtually |
00:44:20 |
according to the oldest |
00:44:23 |
with wonderful, idiosyncratic |
00:44:26 |
in a lyric or phrase |
00:44:29 |
Best wishes, |
00:44:32 |
(banjo strumming) |
00:45:11 |
Whoo! Lord. |
00:45:14 |
Your playing is beautiful. |
00:45:17 |
Actually, that was one of my tunes. |
00:45:21 |
took it over, |
00:45:25 |
- Such striking rhythms. |
00:45:29 |
I'm Lily Penleric. |
00:45:32 |
She's a musicologist. |
00:45:34 |
Mister...? |
00:45:35 |
- Dexter Speaks, ma'am. |
00:45:39 |
Would you look at Del? |
00:45:41 |
(laughing) |
00:45:43 |
She's all bug eyed. |
00:45:45 |
Ain't you ever seen |
00:45:47 |
Where would I have? |
00:45:49 |
(chuckling) |
00:45:52 |
Tom: Where you all headed? |
00:45:54 |
Rose Gentry's. |
00:45:56 |
I'm gonna help Doc here |
00:45:58 |
with writing down |
00:46:00 |
We're going everywhere |
00:46:03 |
Rose? |
00:46:04 |
Rose lives way off back |
00:46:06 |
You'll never get there |
00:46:08 |
You can't tell |
00:46:11 |
Huh. |
00:46:15 |
Well, aren't you lucky? |
00:46:16 |
Sitting around all day |
00:46:18 |
- How lovely. |
00:46:21 |
See, that's what you outlanders |
00:46:24 |
Life is for enjoying, |
00:46:26 |
not just getting and working, |
00:46:31 |
We do indeed have very different |
00:46:42 |
Deladis: Wait...! |
00:46:47 |
Lily: Fate... careful. |
00:46:57 |
(grunting) |
00:47:07 |
Lily: Oh...! |
00:47:10 |
Stop. |
00:47:11 |
(panting) |
00:47:17 |
I told you, |
00:47:18 |
we couldn't get there |
00:47:22 |
Where's your... |
00:47:24 |
pioneer spirit, Fate? |
00:47:26 |
We can't give-up. |
00:47:28 |
Come on, let's keep trying. |
00:47:30 |
No, Del. |
00:47:32 |
She's crazy. |
00:47:34 |
everywhere it don't belong. |
00:47:36 |
I'm not risking life and limb |
00:47:39 |
I need these recordings. |
00:47:41 |
I need them, |
00:47:44 |
Doc... |
00:47:46 |
no one's ever tried to... |
00:47:49 |
haul a thing |
00:47:52 |
Until now. Come along. |
00:47:54 |
I'll show you, |
00:47:57 |
what you can achieve |
00:47:59 |
- (grunting) |
00:48:06 |
(panting) |
00:48:09 |
You...! |
00:48:17 |
I will not give-up! |
00:48:22 |
Come along. |
00:48:26 |
please, Fate, come with us. |
00:48:42 |
I decided to take |
00:48:45 |
A dollar an acre |
00:48:49 |
Why, if it ain't |
00:48:53 |
Earl: Dr. Lily... |
00:48:55 |
you sure do get around, |
00:48:57 |
Lily: Nice to see you again, |
00:49:00 |
Mr. And Mrs. Gentry, |
00:49:02 |
I'm Lily Penleric. |
00:49:04 |
We heard you might be |
00:49:07 |
Viney says Doc's awful nice |
00:49:09 |
and you should sing for her. |
00:49:10 |
Doctor, Uncle Cratis |
00:49:14 |
about every love song |
00:49:16 |
Except Uncle Cratis got the calling. |
00:49:20 |
I'm sorry, we've seem |
00:49:22 |
No, we're about finished here. |
00:49:24 |
I said I'd take |
00:49:26 |
Well, now Parley, |
00:49:29 |
that was before I knew |
00:49:31 |
Well, I wouldn't be |
00:49:34 |
I appreciate that, |
00:49:35 |
but Mr. McFarland |
00:49:37 |
if I gave that much. |
00:49:40 |
The most |
00:49:42 |
50 ¢ an acre. |
00:49:45 |
What's that come to? |
00:49:48 |
How many acres |
00:49:52 |
About 100, |
00:49:55 |
- $50? |
00:49:58 |
That's criminal, Mr. Giddens. |
00:50:01 |
Don't butt in |
00:50:04 |
Now the only way these folks |
00:50:07 |
is to get the hell off |
00:50:08 |
and give-up |
00:50:10 |
Is that what |
00:50:12 |
to hate your own people? |
00:50:14 |
(grunting) |
00:50:15 |
(Deladi's screaming) |
00:50:16 |
Fate: Damn you, Giddens, |
00:50:20 |
- Deladis: No! |
00:50:22 |
With both eyes open. |
00:50:24 |
(gun cocking) |
00:50:26 |
Get on out of here. |
00:50:30 |
You got my word. |
00:50:39 |
Get. |
00:50:42 |
Good day, Doctor. |
00:50:45 |
Is that any way to settle |
00:50:49 |
That man would steal the dime |
00:51:01 |
I'm really very sorry. |
00:51:15 |
(melancholy mid tempo tune) |
00:51:32 |
(music) When I first come |
00:51:37 |
(music) In 1849 (music) |
00:51:42 |
(music) I saw many fair lovers (music) |
00:51:47 |
(music) But I never saw mine (music) |
00:51:52 |
(music) I viewed it all around me (music) |
00:51:57 |
(music) Saw I was quite alone (music) |
00:52:01 |
(music) Me a poor stranger (music) |
00:52:05 |
(music) And a long way from home (music) |
00:52:10 |
(music) Fare thee well |
00:52:15 |
(music) Fare thee well |
00:52:20 |
(music) I'm going for to ramble (music) |
00:52:25 |
(music) This wide world all through (music) |
00:52:30 |
(music) And when I get weary (music) |
00:52:35 |
(music) I'll sit down and cry (music) |
00:52:40 |
(music) Think of my Saro (music) |
00:52:43 |
(music) Pretty Saro, my bride (music) |
00:52:49 |
(music) Well, I wished |
00:52:54 |
(music) Had wings and could fly (music) |
00:52:58 |
(music) Far away |
00:53:03 |
(music) Tonight I draw nigh (music) |
00:53:08 |
(music) And there in her |
00:53:13 |
(music) I'd lay there all night (music) |
00:53:18 |
(music) And watch through them |
00:53:22 |
(music) For the dawning of day. (music) |
00:53:39 |
Man: The missionary board |
00:53:42 |
that the schools |
00:53:44 |
in the mountain communities |
00:53:47 |
who would integrate |
00:53:50 |
than two women. |
00:53:52 |
Fortunately for us, Reverend, |
00:53:54 |
we're not under |
00:53:56 |
(chuckling) |
00:53:59 |
I'm beginning to understand |
00:54:01 |
of the local crafts, |
00:54:03 |
It's a beautifully made piece. |
00:54:07 |
She'll bankrupt me |
00:54:12 |
The Clover School is a model, |
00:54:15 |
but the church is better |
00:54:18 |
I endorse the English idea, |
00:54:21 |
we must educate by example. |
00:54:24 |
If we teach these ruffians |
00:54:27 |
they would want refinement, |
00:54:28 |
seek it out. |
00:54:29 |
I believe we must ask |
00:54:32 |
what they want |
00:54:33 |
That is the enlightened |
00:54:35 |
Man #2: Educating these savages |
00:54:38 |
If you want to |
00:54:39 |
get them out of their hovels |
00:54:42 |
There's nothing like |
00:54:43 |
to help make |
00:54:47 |
It's a beautiful land, |
00:54:50 |
It's one of the largest, |
00:54:52 |
in the southern mountains, |
00:54:55 |
And soon, |
00:54:57 |
And with my coal mines |
00:55:00 |
roads, railroads, |
00:55:04 |
even a few more schools. |
00:55:06 |
Although I don't share |
00:55:09 |
I would like to make |
00:55:11 |
to the Clover school, |
00:55:13 |
say, $500. |
00:55:18 |
Thank you, but we couldn't |
00:55:21 |
despite our need. |
00:55:23 |
Yes, it's essential we avoid |
00:55:26 |
to maintain the trust |
00:55:29 |
As far as I know, water pumps |
00:55:32 |
Mr. McFarland, I thought |
00:55:36 |
I support progress, |
00:55:39 |
I also appreciate what |
00:55:42 |
I think this school |
00:55:46 |
the way Miss Tolliver |
00:55:48 |
have used the local crafts |
00:55:51 |
Are you aware |
00:55:54 |
that is sweeping |
00:55:56 |
I'm quite a collector. |
00:55:59 |
Doc's collecting songs. |
00:56:01 |
- Really? |
00:56:04 |
Yes, I am. |
00:56:08 |
Um... |
00:56:10 |
(gasping) |
00:56:13 |
So refined. |
00:56:17 |
I knew you would |
00:56:22 |
Do you know I have sent |
00:56:25 |
to a gallery in New York? |
00:56:26 |
The dealer is very excited. |
00:56:29 |
Harriet: |
00:56:30 |
our musical entertainment |
00:56:33 |
Hi, Will. |
00:56:34 |
Deladis: |
00:56:35 |
Harriet: |
00:56:38 |
Hello, Will. |
00:56:39 |
Harriet: Why don't you play |
00:56:44 |
(up tempo melody) |
00:56:51 |
Oh, Ambrose, |
00:57:01 |
Reverend: Miss Tolliver, |
00:57:04 |
Harriet: I'd be delighted. |
00:57:44 |
(song continues, |
00:58:02 |
Whoo! |
00:58:07 |
Ooh...! |
00:58:09 |
Viney: Take a little bit. |
00:58:15 |
Viney: Isn't that good? |
00:58:17 |
(cackling laugh) |
00:58:20 |
(music tempo quickens) |
00:58:50 |
Hey, Del. |
00:58:52 |
Where have you been? |
00:58:55 |
I ain't her concern no more. |
00:59:11 |
Man: |
00:59:15 |
Woman: |
00:59:38 |
Miss Elna? |
00:59:41 |
I'd be delighted. |
01:00:27 |
A little space... |
01:00:31 |
Viney: Put out your hands |
01:00:35 |
Come on, let's try it. |
01:00:38 |
Lift them legs! |
01:00:54 |
(laughing and cheering) |
01:01:38 |
Man: Look out in there. |
01:01:54 |
(scoffing) |
01:02:00 |
Hello. |
01:02:02 |
Would you care to...? |
01:02:04 |
Maybe I was speaking a little |
01:02:07 |
- Get your long legs out here. |
01:02:09 |
Let me show you some |
01:02:11 |
- Come on. |
01:02:13 |
I think perhaps you've had |
01:02:15 |
- Naw. |
01:02:17 |
I'll show you right |
01:02:19 |
No, please, Mr. Bledsoe. |
01:02:22 |
Get on out of here. |
01:02:32 |
(punching and hollering) |
01:02:44 |
(music continues) |
01:02:48 |
(glass breaking) |
01:02:53 |
(waltz tune plays softly) |
01:03:06 |
It's very late. |
01:03:09 |
I'll find my own way home. |
01:03:11 |
I'll see the doctor gets home. |
01:03:17 |
All right. |
01:03:19 |
I'll be fine. |
01:03:21 |
Good night. |
01:03:38 |
(strums softly) |
01:03:43 |
Tom: Hey, Earl. |
01:03:46 |
How's your head? |
01:03:52 |
(o m chuckling) |
01:04:04 |
(music) O what is this (music) |
01:04:08 |
(music) I cannot see (music) |
01:04:11 |
(music) Whose icy hand (music) |
01:04:15 |
(music) Takes hold on me? (music) |
01:04:18 |
(music) O I am Death (music) |
01:04:22 |
(music) That none can excel (music) |
01:04:26 |
(music) I open the door (music) |
01:04:30 |
(music) To Heaven and Hell. (music) |
01:04:42 |
(music) O Death, O Death (music) |
01:04:45 |
(music) How can it be (music) |
01:04:49 |
(music) that I must come (music) |
01:04:51 |
(music) And go with thee? (music) |
01:04:54 |
(music) For Death, O Death (music) |
01:04:58 |
(music) How can it be? (music) |
01:05:01 |
(music) I'm unprepared (music) |
01:05:04 |
(music) For eternity (music) |
01:05:09 |
(music) "O yes, I've come (music) |
01:05:12 |
(music) For to get your soul (music) |
01:05:15 |
(music) Take your body (music) |

(music) And leave it cold (music) |
01:05:21 |
(music) I'll drop the flesh (music) |
01:05:25 |
(music) From off of your brain (music) |
01:05:29 |
(music) The earth and the worms (music) |
01:05:33 |
(music) Both have their claim" (music) |
01:05:37 |
Woman: |
01:05:40 |
(music) please let me see (music) |
01:05:43 |
(music) If Christ has turned (music) |
01:05:47 |
(music) His back on me? (music) |
01:05:51 |
(music) "When you were called (music) |
01:05:54 |
(music) And asked to bow (music) |
01:05:57 |
(music) You wouldn't take heed (music) |

(music) And it's too late now" (music) |
01:06:04 |
(music) Farewell, farewell (music) |
01:06:08 |
(music) To all farewell (music) |
01:06:11 |
(music) My doom is fixed (music) |
01:06:15 |
(music) I'm summoned to Hell (music) |

(music) As long as God (music) |

(music) In Heaven shall dwell (music) |
01:06:27 |
(music) My soul, my soul (music) |
01:06:30 |
(music) Shall scream in Hell. (music) |
01:06:40 |
We'll stay on here. |
01:06:50 |
I'm not grateful for your vain |
01:06:54 |
I am perfectly capable |
01:06:58 |
Oh, don't worry. |
01:07:01 |
any day of the week. |
01:07:15 |
I have never heard such... |
01:07:23 |
...such singing. |
01:07:27 |
I never met an outlander |
01:07:31 |
I have never been anywhere |
01:07:33 |
where the music is as much |
01:07:36 |
It's like the air |
01:07:39 |
It's beautiful. |
01:07:53 |
I would like to discuss |
01:07:56 |
Serious? |
01:07:58 |
It's about my work. |
01:07:59 |
Actually, it's about my book. |
01:08:04 |
I believe... |
01:08:06 |
that you could win public |
01:08:10 |
- Public sentiment? |
01:08:14 |
Let me tell you something, |
01:08:16 |
we're not really interested |
01:08:17 |
in what you people out there |
01:08:19 |
- Well, you should be. |
01:08:22 |
What I'm trying to say |
01:08:26 |
I believe the mountain people |
01:08:28 |
in a very different light. |
01:08:29 |
Oh, what is that light, |
01:08:32 |
Well, the common view |
01:08:34 |
is that there is |
01:08:37 |
and that the people |
01:08:39 |
You forgot illiterate |
01:08:42 |
The only way to preserve |
01:08:45 |
is to keep your way |
01:08:48 |
That is the way you kill something, |
01:08:50 |
You know what? |
01:08:52 |
and you never will. |
01:08:54 |
We just want |
01:08:59 |
Then the mountain ways |
01:09:00 |
We'll see. |
01:09:03 |
I don't want to fight with you. |
01:09:05 |
Me neither. |
01:09:07 |
We just keep getting off |
01:09:12 |
Good night. |
01:09:15 |
Can I take my wrong feet |
01:09:17 |
No, I can find my own way. |
01:09:19 |
I promised... Miss Elna. |
01:09:22 |
Well, in case you hadn't noticed, |
01:09:25 |
not Elna. |
01:09:26 |
O-ho-ho, I noticed. |
01:09:30 |
I noticed. |
01:09:33 |
(singing) |
01:09:48 |
(piercing shriek) |
01:10:10 |
(shriek) |
01:10:27 |
(growling and clothes tearing) |
01:10:33 |
(shriek) |
01:10:46 |
(shriek) |
01:10:54 |
(gasping) |
01:11:06 |
Tom: Whoa! Whoa! |
01:11:30 |
- Whoa. |
01:11:33 |
Here you go. |
01:11:35 |
Why won't you admit it was you? |
01:11:38 |
- It was you. |
01:11:40 |
It had to be the panther. |
01:11:42 |
Either that or maybe you... |
01:11:45 |
- maybe you imagined it. |
01:11:47 |
It was as real |
01:11:51 |
Ooh... |
01:11:55 |
Why aren't you married? |
01:11:58 |
Why aren't you? |
01:12:00 |
I've been married. |
01:12:04 |
My second wife died |
01:12:09 |
I'm sorry. |
01:12:14 |
I'm a jinx for a woman, Lily. |
01:12:19 |
I'm not your average woman. |
01:12:25 |
No, you're not, are you? |
01:12:56 |
Deladis: |
01:12:58 |
(music) The first day of they ear (music) |
01:13:01 |
(music) Little Matthy Groves |
01:13:03 |
(music) Some holy words to hear (music) |
01:13:06 |
(music) Hear some holy words |
01:13:09 |
Come on, Doc, |

(music) Few, the flower of the few (music) |
01:13:25 |
(music) She stepped up |
01:13:27 |
(music) Her eyes cast |
01:13:30 |
(music) "Oh, please, |
01:13:32 |
(music) Stay as you pass |
01:13:34 |
(music) Town, as you pass |
01:13:38 |
- Deladis... |
01:13:39 |
You are officially |
01:13:41 |
and it's going to say so |
01:13:44 |
(music) "O what is this?" |
01:13:47 |
(music) As he sat up in bed (music) |
01:13:49 |
(music) "I fear it is |
01:13:52 |
(music) And I will soon be dead (music) |
01:13:53 |
(music) Dead, I will soon be dead" (music) |
01:13:57 |
(music) But Little Matthy Groves |
01:14:00 |
(music) And soon fell off to sleep (music) |
01:14:02 |
(music) When he woke up, |
01:14:04 |
(music) Was standing |
01:14:07 |
(music) Feet, standing |
01:14:10 |
(music) Saying, " How do you like |
01:14:12 |
(music) Saying, " How do you |
01:14:15 |
(music) How do you like my pretty |
01:14:18 |
(music) That's a-lying |
01:14:19 |
(music) Sleep, lying |
01:14:23 |
(music) The first swing |
01:14:25 |
(music) It hurt Lord Daniel sore (music) |
01:14:27 |
(music) The next swing |
01:14:30 |
(music) Little Matthy hit the floor (music) |
01:14:32 |
(music) Floor, Little Matthy |
01:14:34 |
(cocking) |
01:14:39 |
What do you want? |
01:14:41 |
Uh... |
01:14:43 |
Parley Gentry sent us. |
01:14:46 |
My name is Lily Penleric. |
01:14:48 |
We are looking |
01:14:50 |
What for? |
01:14:51 |
I'm a song collector. |
01:14:54 |
Parley says |
01:14:56 |
about every |
01:14:58 |
We're making a book. |
01:15:05 |
Cratis got religion. |
01:15:08 |
Well, perhaps |
01:15:15 |
Cratis! |
01:15:19 |
(music) Uncle Cratis. (music) |
01:15:24 |
You gonna burn in Hell, |
01:15:31 |
Mr. Kincaid? |
01:15:36 |
Do I know you, woman? |
01:15:41 |
I'm your wife's friend. |
01:15:46 |
You all go on. |
01:15:51 |
Your family needs you, |
01:15:54 |
Reese belongs here with me. |
01:15:58 |
Go on. |
01:16:02 |
Alice: How can I thank you? |
01:16:05 |
Alice, you don't have to. |
01:16:07 |
I've barely been able |
01:16:09 |
since Reese left again. |
01:16:11 |
People have been helping out |
01:16:14 |
Lily: Well, now that... |
01:16:16 |
Clementine McFarland |
01:16:18 |
others will as well. |
01:16:21 |
Maybe I should take the children |
01:16:23 |
I mean, if what you say |
01:16:25 |
I could provide for us |
01:16:29 |
Hello, Alice. |
01:16:30 |
- Daddy? |
01:16:33 |
Daddy. |
01:16:35 |
Well, he y, big man. |
01:16:37 |
Hey, little bit. |
01:16:39 |
- Hey. |
01:16:45 |
You look pretty today, Alice. |

You remember, Dr. Penleric, |
01:16:51 |
Mr. Kincaid. |
01:16:54 |
(grunting) |
01:16:58 |
Hey, Del. |
01:17:00 |
Hey. |
01:17:01 |
Hey, Del. |
01:17:05 |
Fate: "It is..." |
01:17:08 |
"It is dep..." |
01:17:11 |
What are you doing |
01:17:16 |
"It is deplorable... |
01:17:20 |
that the literature |
01:17:23 |
has attracted |
01:17:26 |
than the music. |
01:17:28 |
The two elements |
01:17:32 |
The music and text |
01:17:34 |
are one and indivisible, |
01:17:37 |
and to separate one |
01:17:38 |
is to remove the processed gem |
01:17:42 |
Oh, Lord. |
01:17:44 |
What are you laughing at? |
01:17:45 |
She's just saying our songs |
01:17:48 |
You're going soft |
01:17:50 |
- Yeah, maybe. |
01:18:02 |
Tom: Ladies. |
01:18:04 |
Hello. |
01:18:06 |
What are you doing here? |
01:18:09 |
U h... |
01:18:10 |
I brought you something. |
01:18:17 |
Come on. |
01:18:20 |
- You shouldn't have. |
01:18:26 |
- It's warm today, huh? |
01:18:35 |
Elna: Tom...? |
01:18:38 |
Why don't you |
01:18:39 |
to join us at the picnic |
01:18:42 |
I haven't had any luck. |
01:18:48 |
What, and leave her work? |
01:18:51 |
Deladis, are you ready? |
01:18:54 |
U m... |
01:18:58 |
I ain't going. |
01:19:00 |
It's too hot and muggy |
01:19:03 |
All right, suit yours elf. |
01:19:09 |
Let me show you this here. |
01:19:11 |
A what? |
01:19:13 |
Noter. |
01:19:16 |
and you play these strings. |
01:19:19 |
Let's go for a walk. |
01:19:22 |
Ah, yes. |
01:19:24 |
We'll leave you two |
01:19:37 |
Tom: You know, it ain't |
01:19:41 |
Miss Harriet and Miss Elna... |
01:19:47 |
theyre... |
01:19:50 |
What? |
01:19:53 |
Sweethearts, |
01:19:55 |
(women giggling) |
01:19:57 |
Don't be ridiculous. |
01:19:59 |
Listen, it don't bother me none. |
01:20:02 |
but it don't bother me none. |
01:20:09 |
I'm sure it's only because |
01:20:13 |
Who else would they be with? |
01:20:16 |
Well, certainly not |
01:20:21 |
(giggling) |
01:21:04 |
I see you two. |
01:21:08 |
Fate: Hey, Johnson. |
01:21:09 |
I got a letter here |
01:21:13 |
She ain't here right now, |
01:21:15 |
No, no. |
01:21:18 |
That means it's important |
01:21:20 |
and she got to get it |
01:21:22 |
Urgent? I can read. |
01:21:24 |
She's gone to Alton's Creek. |
01:21:28 |
You'd do that for me, |
01:21:30 |
Sure, Johnson, sure. |
01:21:32 |
- I'll go with you. |
01:21:35 |
- Why? |
01:21:37 |
U h-uh, |
01:21:39 |
You deliver it |
01:21:41 |
Oh, I will, I will. |
01:21:43 |
Thank you. |
01:21:45 |
By e. |
01:21:47 |
Sure, I'll deliver |
01:21:51 |
You can't do that. |
01:21:53 |
- Give me that. |
01:21:56 |
Del, come back here! |
01:21:59 |
(Deladi's laughing) |
01:22:01 |
Oof, shit. |
01:22:42 |
Del? |
01:23:15 |
Oh, God! |
01:23:17 |
Oh, God. |
01:23:23 |
(sobbing) |
01:23:26 |
Elna, we have to get back |
01:23:28 |
Elna! |
01:23:30 |
Fate! |
01:23:32 |
Elna! |
01:23:37 |
Deladis: |
01:23:40 |
(giggling) |
01:24:00 |
Wallace's voice: |
01:24:01 |
It is with great pride |
01:24:04 |
I took the liberty of showing |
01:24:06 |
the ballads you sent me |
01:24:07 |
He immediately confirmed |
01:24:10 |
and thinks it imperative |
01:24:13 |
The dean has s e cured the funds. |
01:24:16 |
You'll be thrilled to know |
01:24:18 |
intends to collect the songs |
01:24:19 |
and insisted that you continue |
01:24:23 |
Assistant!? |
01:24:27 |
"please respond immediately. |
01:24:29 |
Regards, Wallace." |
01:25:05 |
Uncle Cratis is preaching |
01:25:08 |
Yes, dear. |
01:25:10 |
Deladis: Can I wear |
01:25:30 |
(screaming) |
01:25:34 |
No! |
01:25:35 |
It's afire! |
01:25:36 |
Elna: |
01:25:42 |
Oh, no. |
01:25:43 |
Come on. Come on. |
01:25:46 |
Oh, my God. |
01:25:49 |
(whooping and laughing) |
01:25:51 |
- My glasses! |
01:26:11 |
Elna: Lily! |
01:26:16 |
Lily! |
01:28:16 |
Goodbye, my darling girl. |
01:29:06 |
Tom: Oh, good Lord. |
01:29:15 |
Go away. |
01:29:59 |
Elna...? |
01:30:03 |
How am I going to live |
01:30:12 |
Perhaps you could find her. |
01:30:17 |
She swore if anyone |
01:30:20 |
she'd disappear. |
01:30:32 |
My Harriet. |
01:30:38 |
I'm sorry. |
01:30:44 |
I'm so sorry. |
01:31:36 |
Hey, Doc, look. |
01:31:39 |
Deladis: Doc? |
01:31:48 |
Cratis: You all don't |
01:31:50 |
but you got to belie v e |
01:31:51 |
I know you belie v e the Bible, |
01:31:54 |
"For her sins |
01:31:58 |
and God has remembered |
01:32:02 |
- Amen. |
01:32:06 |
come in one day. |
01:32:08 |
Death, and mourning |
01:32:10 |
and she shall be utterly |
01:32:15 |
Amen. |
01:32:17 |
"For strong is the Lord God |
01:32:22 |
Amen. |
01:32:25 |
Where did you get to? |
01:32:28 |
"Thou has polluted the land |
01:32:31 |
and with thy wickedness"! |
01:32:33 |
Amen. |
01:32:36 |
I'm going to bust you up, |
01:32:37 |
Tom! |
01:32:38 |
They're the whores |
01:32:42 |
That snake right there, |
01:32:45 |
theyre the ones who set fire |
01:32:48 |
And all this while women |
01:32:52 |
They're evil women! |
01:32:54 |
Now are you going |
01:32:56 |
or are you going |
01:32:58 |
I am ashamed of you boys. |
01:33:02 |
I ain't seen nothing but good |
01:33:06 |
Them women were sent |
01:33:10 |
Only wickedness comes |
01:33:13 |
- Amen! |
01:33:15 |
I ain't never had a chance |
01:33:18 |
And my kids ain't neither |
01:33:20 |
because they is always |
01:33:23 |
keeping food on the table. |
01:33:24 |
But I got grandbabies |
01:33:28 |
And I want them |
01:33:30 |
Man: That's the devil |
01:33:32 |
- Amen. |
01:33:34 |

Elna... |
01:35:46 |
will you be all right |
01:35:49 |
So soon? |
01:35:53 |
Why don't you come with me? |
01:35:56 |
You can live as you please |
01:35:59 |
I've thought about it. |
01:36:07 |
I want to reopen the school. |
01:36:11 |
I was thinking about asking you |
01:36:15 |
It needs another teacher. |
01:36:23 |
I didn't think you would. |
01:36:30 |
I shall miss you. |
01:36:34 |
- (music) Oh the wind blows weary (music) |
01:36:39 |
(music) And the willows sigh... (music) |
01:36:42 |

I'm sorry. |
01:37:18 |
I'm sorry, too. |
01:37:21 |
I'm sorry |
01:37:23 |
and I'm sorry |
01:37:31 |
You made most of us |
01:37:36 |
Thank you. |
01:37:39 |
I'm sure someone else will come |
01:37:43 |
- Are you giving up? |
01:37:47 |
I realize that it was |
01:37:50 |
that I wanted everyone to hear. |
01:37:52 |
Are you going back |
01:37:55 |
No, no, I don't think so. |
01:38:01 |
- Where are you going? |
01:38:09 |
Come with me? |
01:38:18 |
How will I earn a living |
01:38:20 |
With your music. |
01:38:24 |
I couldn't take care |
01:38:29 |
Then work in a coal mine. |
01:38:30 |
No, I did that once |
01:38:32 |
I never ever will again. |
01:38:36 |
So you're just content |
01:38:38 |
and hide your head |
01:38:40 |
A man's meant |
01:38:42 |
and his family, Lily. |
01:38:45 |
You were meant |
01:38:48 |
Besides which, I don't want you |
01:38:51 |
- And I do have a plan. |
01:38:55 |
Did you ever have a day |
01:38:59 |
It includes you, Tom. |
01:39:03 |
Go on. |
01:39:06 |
Well... |
01:39:08 |
nowadays, phonographs |
01:39:12 |
I think that soon everyone |
01:39:14 |
I was thinking |
01:39:18 |
make cylinders |
01:39:25 |
Who the hell would buy them? |
01:39:28 |
Oh, I think everyone would. |
01:39:30 |
I know they would, Tom. |
01:39:32 |
The way the music |
01:39:33 |
of course they would. |
01:39:34 |
You're just about as crazy... |
01:39:37 |
Hey! |
01:39:39 |
What are you doing here? |
01:39:43 |
Go on before I shoot you! |
01:39:44 |
I want to talk to Deladis. |
01:39:55 |
Fate: Del... |
01:39:57 |
I come to get you |
01:40:05 |
I don't want |
01:40:07 |
If you don't take me now, |
01:40:09 |
I'm marrying Polly. |
01:40:12 |
I went to the woods... |
01:40:17 |
and the knot didn't hold. |
01:40:23 |
You're Polly's now. |
01:40:41 |
I love you, child. |
01:40:46 |
Tom: Hey, Del... |
01:40:50 |
we're going |
01:40:54 |
Do you want |
01:41:01 |
We're going to make cylinders |
01:41:03 |
to s ell to outlanders. |
01:41:05 |
(laughing) |
01:41:08 |
What? |
01:41:10 |
Isn't that the craziest thing |
01:41:12 |
It's the craziest. |
01:41:14 |
Viney: Of course |
01:41:16 |
Granny? |
01:41:18 |
Tom, I'll be fine. |
01:41:22 |
I'll be right here |
01:41:38 |
Tom: Why don't you |
01:41:40 |
until one of us |
01:41:41 |
Perhaps I'd better get out. |
01:41:47 |
Are you Cyrus Whittle? |
01:41:50 |
Yes, I am. |
01:41:53 |
I'm Lily Penleric. |
01:41:55 |
Lily Penleric? |
01:41:59 |
I was just on my way |
01:42:01 |
Whittle: Didn't you get |
01:42:03 |
Lily: Yes. I did, |
01:42:05 |
you were coming |
01:42:06 |
The work is urgent. |
01:42:11 |
The collection must be |
01:42:13 |
as expeditiously as possible. |
01:42:15 |
That's why I'm here in the hopes |
01:42:19 |
Assisting me? |
01:42:21 |
I told Aldrich |
01:42:24 |
I made myself |
01:42:28 |
I am only here to facilitate |
01:42:31 |
in the completion |
01:42:33 |
of this vast body of songs. |
01:42:36 |
There is no collection |
01:42:38 |
be yond the 10 songs |
01:42:41 |
What? |
01:42:44 |
- It was destroyed in a fire. |
01:42:46 |
I'm afraid so, along with |
01:42:49 |
Oh, my Lord. |
01:42:51 |
Phonograph, you say? |
01:42:53 |
You know, I had no idea |
01:42:58 |
a phonograph |
01:43:01 |
It isn't. |
01:43:05 |
Well, then in that case |
01:43:07 |
that I'm here, isn't it? |
01:43:08 |
We can start again, |
01:43:22 |
Thank you, Prof. Whittle, |
01:43:23 |
but I'm afraid I have |
01:43:26 |
What on earth could be |
01:43:28 |
than this collection |
01:43:30 |
Lily: I bequeath the collection |
01:43:34 |
- To me? |
01:43:35 |
How am I going to work |
01:43:39 |
Well, when you get |
01:43:41 |
ask for Viney Butler. |
01:43:43 |
Tell Viney, that Tom, Lily |
01:43:46 |
you are a very nice man, |
01:43:50 |
- Who? Deladis? |
01:43:55 |
Lily: Viney Butler. |
01:43:57 |
She knows dozens of songs. |
01:44:04 |
Fare thee well, professor, |
01:44:06 |
but I must assure you |
01:44:10 |
under both our names... |
01:44:14 |
It's Penleric. |
