# You got to kneel
for the saviour and pray
There ain't no hiding
from the judgement day

# From the judgement day
# No, there ain't no hiding
# From the judgement day. #
Have a good time.
Hi there, young lady.
Good evening, welcome to the
Honeydripper. Have a good time.
Everybody's getting restless.
How we doing? We're gonna be
full up, but the food...
Is Delilah coming in?
What if I've lost her?
She won't let you down, Ty.
This ain't going to work, is it?
You just got to play it out and see.
Guitar Sam!
See if you can push another round
Then you going to bring him out?
Sam!
We coming here to hear
the guitar man play!
Be on the wires.
Give them three bars Guitar Sam!
I got a baseball bat under the
counter but you out here all alone.
Just get the liquor moving, Mace.
And keep the money
where you can run with it.
Guitar Sam!
The Lord don't want nobody
to sit back and suffer.
He want you to stand up.
He want you to rise up.
He want you to step forward
and come down to the merciful arms
of his eternal salvation.
A fire is heating up,
brothers and sisters,
and judgement day is nigh.
Anybody out there tonight
want to answer his call?
Anybody out there tonight, is gonna
step forward and be saved?
Ain't no time to hesitate.
Got to come on down
and offer yourself to the Lord.
Come on. Come on, come on, sister.
I believe you hear the
Lord's voice talking to you sister.
That's the Lord's voice
and I believe you hear it.
I do believe you hear it.
Come on down.
Bring it on down to his salvation.
Feel the Lord at your back.
You got to leave them sinners behind.
Come on down.
Come on down.
I see you sister, coming.
I see the Lord is talking to you.
I hear the Lord is talking to you.
I believe you hear him, sister.
Come on down,
you hear the voice of the Lord?
You hear the voice of the Lord.
That voice is trying to tell you
where you need to be right now,
sister.
All you've got to do,
all you've got to do
is move your feet and get there.
Move your feet and get there.
You look good.
Damn.
He look good, don't he, Daddy? Yeah.
Honey, I need you to get right
by that front door
and take over collecting
the cover charge.
Anything happens,
go wrong or something,
you just step out and walk away
from the club, you hear?
What's going to go wrong?
Guitar Sam here,
gets them soldier boys jumping,
get a little rough in here.
Just stay on your toes, that's all.
OK.
China Doll?
You know there ain't a thing in
this world I wouldn't do for you?
Even if I mess up sometimes.
You know that, right?
I know that, Daddy.
You go on, now.
Well, you look like something
that would come out of New Orleans.
I forget to tell you,
I fixed your hook-up.
My what?
Your hook-up, where your
electricity comes in. It was...
Ty, we've got a situation out there.
You don't think I know that?
Got the law in the house.
Didn't think
we'd be seeing you so soon.
You got a real nice crowd
here tonight, Tyrone.
I see them army uniforms.
We got ourselves
this special attraction. See...
Chicken. Huh?
Them ribs outside smell real good,
but I'm afraid my heart's set
on some of your wife Delilah's
fried chicken.
Right.
She made it last Saturday
at the mayor's,
but old Clayford Gentry came up
and he ate all the drumsticks.
I'm partial to dark meat.
The situation
regarding... sherriff...
She is in the back there cooking,
isn't she?
Maybe, if you would come back here
a little bit later.
Regular or spicy?
They both take the same time to
fix up. I just got to know which.
I have to make mine regular,
I'm afraid, ma'am.
Spicy is just fine,
to nip at me later.
It's important not to bite off
more than you can chew.
You just make yourself at home.
Good luck tonight, baby.
Slap some mayonnaise on it.
You want to wait over there,
Sherriff?
Don't want to scare off
the customers.
Here he comes!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, here is what you all
been waiting for.
Noted performer and recording star,
direct from New Orleans, Louisiana,

And there's another 50 in here.
Lucky Hardaware don't mind
some change, does he?
What if Mr Hardaware were to say
let the chumps keep their change?
He wants the club back,
one way or the other.
How that be?
Well, he better take that up
with my business partner.
The sheriff your business partner?
Yeah. And he's twice as mean
as he is ugly.
You must want this club
awful bad, brother.
Maybe y'all didn't notice,
but that ain't no Guitar Sam.
# At the party
# Oh, I was like a chaperone
# I couldn't boogie real slow
# With the blue lights way down low
# I like to boogie real slow
# With the blue lights
way down low. #
CHEERING:
Sam!
You is a liar, boy.
I know Sammy since he was
drinking his mama's milk.
Hell, I know his mama,
she's lives up near mine.
And you ain't him.
That's Creole Sammy you're talking
about, pops. I'm Delta Guitar Sam.
As long as we straight on that.
Get on out of here
and let the man play.
Yeah.
I'm gonna play one for you right
now that I come up with today
while I was having my hair cut.
# Ch-Ch-Ch-China Doll
# Can't get you off of my mind
# Oh, oh, China Doll
# Can't get you off of my mind
# But if you're gonna be my baby,
leave all them others behind
# Oh, oh, China Doll
# I think about you day and night
