Paint Your Wagon Page #2

Put that damn gun down

and stand these boys the whisky.

Dry your hands before you weigh it.

We need supplies.

A pound of sugar,

half a case of whisky,

and a case pneumonia

for Schermerhorn there.

A pound of sugar and a two-pound

sack of flour, please.

Evening.

Horace Tabor,

Worcester, Massachusetts.

-When did you get in?

-Arrived this morning.

Hit a vein this afternoon,

and I aim to be back

in Worcester by Christmas.

It says here California's

going to be admitted to the Union.

Just what it needs... law and order.

-That's good news.

-Well, it ain't to me.

It's my policy to bust out of any

territory the day it become a state

-and head for the wilderness.

-I don't agree, sir.

You look around the human race,

you wonder what was God thinking.

Oh, oh, oh!

# God made the mountains

# God made the sky

# God made the people

# God knows why

# He fixed up the planet

# As best as He could

# Then in come the people

# And gum it up good

# The first thing ya know

# They civilise the foothills

# And everywhere He put hills

# The mountains and valleys below

# They come along and take 'em

# And civilise and make 'em

# A place where

no civilised person would go

# The first thing you know

# The first thing you know

# They civilise what's pretty

by puttin' up a city

# Where nothin'

that's pretty can grow

# They muddy up the winter

# And civilise it into

a place too uncivilised even for snow

# The first thing ya know

# They civilise left

they civilise right

# Till nothin' is left

till nothin' is right

# They civilise freedom

till no one is free

# No one except

# By coincidence, me

# The first thing ya know

# The boozer's in prison

and the criminal, he isn't

# And only the rascals have dough

# When I see a parson

I gotta put my arse in

# The wagon that follows

the tail of a crow

# The first thing ya know

# I pick up and blow

# The first thing

you know-oh-oh-oh #

Ben! Ben Rumson!

Ben!

You bloody old rumpot!

Mad Jack Duncan! This is my pardner.

I heard you was in town.

Wait till I tell you what happened

to Harry and Ernest and me.

-What?

-We never went home.

Come on, lads!

We're having a dance. Jump in!

Climb on, Pardner.

We're going to a dance!

Anybody seen Ben Rumson?

He left here about 20 minutes ago.

Thanks.

-Are you his pardner?

-Yeah.

He, uh, owes me $80.

He said you would stand good.

Hey, Pardner.

Can you help me get up on that mule?

You all right?

I get melancholy every now and then.

It's a disease common to

mountain men who live alone a lot,

but if you stay with me at such...

such times, uh, I'll be OK.

All right.

Did Ezra Atwell come to you

for that $80?

Yeah.

I stood good for you.

I guess this is what you meant,

when you said you expected me

to come get you

muddy drunk in the street.

And now you're gonna be my companion

in my moment of despair.

Well, you're my pardner, ain't you?

Hey. I like you, Pardner.

I like you, Ben.

Well, my mother and father's dead,

and my two brothers and myself...

we worked the... we worked the farm.

Then last year, my older brother,

he took himself a wife.

Me and my kid brother, we decided

to leave Michigan and come out here,

maybe dig some gold,

get enough money to buy some land.

'Cept now that he's gone, I don't

have too much appetite for farming.

Well, what about your girl?

-Girl?

-Yeah. Elisa.

Is she gonna come out and join you,

or did she marry your brother?

Well, to tell you the truth,

there is no Elisa.

I just...

read that name somewhere

and made it up.

Well, them's the best kind,

but what I need now

is the worst kind.

It's a living hell up here,

what with the bloody rain

and the bloody loneliness

and that bloody, bloody wind.

# Maria

# Maria

# They call the wind

# Maria

# Away out here they got a name

# For rain and wind and fire

# The rain is Tess

# The fire's Joe

# And they call the wind Maria

# Maria blows the stars around

# And sends the clouds a-flyin'

# Maria makes the mountains sound

# Like folks were up there dyin'

# Maria

# Maria

# They call the wind Maria

# Before I knew Maria's name

# And heard her wail and whinin'

# I had a girl and she had me

# And the sun was always shinin'

# But then one day I left my girl

# I left her far behind me

# And now I'm lost

# So goldurn lost

# Not even God can find me

# Maria

# Maria

# They call the wind Maria

# Out here they got a name for rain

# For wind and fire only

# But when you're lost and all alone

# There ain't no word but lonely

# And I'm a lost and lonely man

# Without a star to guide me

# Maria, blow my love to me

# I need my girl beside me

# Maria

# Maria

# They call the wind Maria

# Maria

# Maria

# Blow my love

# To

# Me #

Look at the women!

Look! Two women!

Look at the two women!

There's five women!

I wanna get one of them gals!

Women! Women!

Hey, there's 64 women coming into town!

Hey, men, 80 women

coming down the river!

Lady, I, uh...

got $50 here in gold dust.

You can have it all if you, uh...

let me hold the baby.

Very well.

No, I don't want your money for it.

You'll hurt his feelings,

Sarah. Take it.

Look at them eyes,

glowing like he just hit pay dirt.
