fine curse god put on me when he gave me

a daughter big and strong as a bull and

his vicious and disrespectful

oh my god look i just standing there

with that club

if you ain't the damnedest daughter in

connecticut who is oh if you ain't the

damnedest father in connecticut who is

all right josie

how much did you steal

ah

six dollars only

well god grant someone with wits he said

dopey gander at the deeper and sells on

the railroad for the six

when i think your poor mother was killed

bringing that crummy calf into life

well i never set foot in church since i

never will

sweet woman

do you remember her at all josie you

were just a little thing when she died

i remember well

ah

she was the one could put you in your

place when you come home drunk you want

to tear down the house for the

punishment

well what did the donkey michael preach

to you about

same as always

but i am the scandal of the neighborhood

carrying on with men without a marriage

license well hell roasted soul for

saying it but it's true enough it is

somewhat of it i don't give a damn for

the scandal

i do my work i earn my peep

i have a right to be free you have i've

never denied it

i have never

i've often wondered why a man who likes

fights as much as you hasn't grabbed at

the excuse of my disgrace to beat the

lights out of the man i wouldn't look a

great fool when everyone knows any man

trying to make free with you and you not

willing to be carried off to the

hospital

anyway i wouldn't want to fight an army

you've had too many sweethearts well

that's because i soon get tired of any

man and give him his walking papers

i'm afraid you were born to be a

terrible wanton woman but to tell you

the truth and well satisfied with what

you are though i shouldn't say it

because if you was a decent kind you'd

have married some fool long ago at a

lost your company and your help on the

farm oh leave it to you to think of your

own interest

what else did my beautiful son michael

say to you i got to get married and

settle down

if i could find a decent man who'd have

me which he was sure i could

so the only hope he thought was for me

to find some indecent man who'd be

coming into lots of money i could steal

he meant jim tyrone i did

my dirty little tick accused you and me

of making up a foxy scheme to trap him

i'm to get him alone one night when he's

crazy drunk and lead him on to marry me

whoo

a lot of good that'll do

sure every pretty little card on

broadway new york must have had a try at

that much good at denim they must have

surely but that's in the city do you see

where he's suspicious never could tell

when he might and do air in the country

where he's innocent and the moon in the

sky to fill him with poetry and to court

a bad hooch inside him are you taking

mike's scheme seriously oh god well i

thought you wanted my honest opinion on

the merits of mike's suggestion

i know you're only making game of me

you liked him and you wouldn't play a

dirty trick on him even if i was willing

no not unless i found he was playing one

on me but she'd not no i wouldn't think

it but my motto in life is never trust

anyone too far not even myself

you reason for that

i've often let you sneak out of bed in

the middle of the night to pick your own

parking

wouldn't call it a dirty trick on them

have you for a wife ah got it off on

that again well you put marriage in my

mind i'm at all i can't help considering

the merits of the case as i say

i'm sure you're two of a kind both great

disgraces

let it help make a happy marriage do you

see cause neither of you could look down

on the other oh well jim might think so

what do you mean

when you think he'd be marrying beneath

his station

maybe a damn fool if he had that notion

because his old man who worked himself

up from nothing to be rich and famous

didn't care a dime about station truce

great man entirely

but it's jim we're discussing not his

father and i'm telling you i could see

the merits in your marriage oh god a cow

must have kicked you in the head this

morning well i wouldn't give it a

thought if i didn't know you had a soft

spot in your heart for well i haven't

oh well i

i lied much that's what you mean but

only to talk to because he's

educated and soft-spoken and

has politeness even when he's drunkest

well he doesn't go around here cursing

and singing like some i could name

if you could see the light in your eyes

when he blinded you

light in me foot i'm in love with him

you'll be saying next another merit of

the case is he likes you

because he keeps dropping in here lately

huh ah

that's only when he gets tired of the

drunks at the inn

and it's smaller than joe can talk with

you than it is to see me well it's your

happiness i'm considering when i

recommend you using your wits to catch

him if he can if well who knows with all

the sweethearts you've had you must have

a catch in way with men well maybe i

have but that doesn't mean that i've got

him alone tonight there'll be a

beautiful moon in the sky to fill him

with poetry and loneliness oh there's

mike's scheme again i will mike be done

for god's sake it's every woman's scheme

since the world was created

oh don't play the jackass with me father

you know and i know that i'm just a

great ugly lump of a woman the men who

want me are no better than stupid bulls

jim can have all the pretty little tarts

and dancers on the stage too when he

comes into his estate

ah that's the kind that he likes

well i notice he's never married one

all right all right we'll put it another

way now josie don't tell me you couldn't

learn to love the estate he's coming

into oh

i've been waiting for that

now we get to the truth behind all your

bloggers about his liking me and me

liking him

ah well of course i'd love the money who

wouldn't

and why shouldn't i get my hands on it

if i could he'll only be swindled out of

it anyway

by the time he gets back to the broadway

that he thinks is such heaven and the

pretty little tireds in the bar rooms

sponges the racetrack touts and the

gamblers are thrilled with them he'll be

picked clean

well

i'm no saint god knows but i'm decent

and deserving compared to that scum well

now you're using your wits and where

there's a will there's a way josie you

and me never been beat yet and we put

our brains together now i'll keep

thinking it over and you'll do the same

to you well i won't and you keep your

mad schemes to yourself i won't listen

all right all right the devil take it

you won't hear another word for me

except one ah shut up i'm serious you

better pay attention because it concerns

this farm which is home to us

what about the farm well i've been

afraid lately the minute the estate's

out of probate jim's going to sell the

farm well of course he will

as he told us and promised you can buy

it on easy time payments for the small

price you offered yes well jim will

promise you anything you like when he's

full of whiskey he might just as easy

forget the promise when he's drunk

enough he'd never

ah

who'd want it except us

no one ever has in all the years we've

been here yes well someone has lately

the agent got an offer jim told me last

month bigger than mine

he'd never accept any offer after he'd

given us his work well did i say he

would when he's in his right mind

but i'm afraid of is he's going to get

led into it sometimes when he's got one

of those bitter sneering drunks he gets

on sometimes he talks like a broadway

crook himself money's the only thing in

the world and anything and anyone in it

can be bought if the price is big enough

you've heard them i have no

he doesn't fool me at all when he's like

that

he only acts hard and scheming to get

back at the world when it's tormenting

him

uh

who doesn't only take the other kind of

queer drinking it's on sometimes when

without any reason you can say he'll

suddenly turn strange and look sad and

stare at nothing as if he were mourning

over some ghost inside him

the memory of his mother comes back and

his grief over her death

ah

poor jim

whiskey's got no effect on him it's like

water off a duck's back now when a man

gets his square drunk as jimmy don't

know himself but he might do i think

we'd be down fools if we didn't fear the

possibility no matter how small it is

and do all we can to guard against it

there is no possibility

well

what could we do to guide against it if

there was well for one thing you could

put yourself out to be extra nice to him

how nice is extra knives well you ought

to know

all right all right i'll give you a

little tip i notice when you talk rough

and brazen to him like you do with those

other men he may grin like they do as if

he enjoyed it but he don't so you want

your tongue to hear me i'll talk cause i

like it if you don't like it he can lump

it

if he ever did go back on his word to us

no matter how drunk

i'd be with you in any scheme you made

against him

no matter how dirty

ah but it's all your nonsense

i'd never believe it

i'll go down to the meadow and finish

mike's work you needn't worry you'll

miss his help on the farm

hell of a help leaving me are you and

it's dinner time where the hell's my

dinner your lazy cow there's a stew on

the stove you bad tempered little one

now you go in and help yourself i'm not

hungry your gab has bothered my mind and

i need hard work in the sun to clear it

if you better wait

there's a caller coming to the gate if

i'm not mistaken it's the light of your

eyes himself oh will you shut up

oh look out of money thanksgiving is

watching with his eyes on the ground

like a dead man walking slow behind his

own coffin

ooh faith he must have a hangover

look at the bluff he puts up

straightening himself grinning

well i don't want to meet him

the landlord again my shotgun not handy

was that master saying jim that's latin

and node by ear now what the hell insult

doesn't mean translated very freely into

irish english something like this

ain't you the lucky old bastard to have

this beautiful farm if it is full of

nude rocks

well um how's the uh duke of donny gold

this fine morning oh never better

slamming and toiling as usual i see now

hasn't a poor man the right to his noon

rest without being snared at by his rich

landlord rich is good

if you'd pay up your back rent ah

you ought to pay me instead for

occupying this rock pile miss call of

heart but i find reports to give a gem

of a promising harvest the milkweed and

the thistles is in thriving condition

home so why all this interest lately in

ladies of the profession josie well i've

been thinking about joining their union

fine and i and i don't beg pardon for

miss jenny yeah phil i have wanted to go

on the wagon for the past 25 years but

you have a weak heart

me thinking all along it was your head

i'm glad you told me that jim i was

about to offer you a drink you seen of

course that's a that's the worst thing

in the world for you god knows with you

what's your heart yeah but the docs say

it's a matter of life and death i must

have a stimulant one big drink at least

whenever i strain my heart walking in

the hot sun

well you walk back to the end give it a

good strain you can buy yourself two big

drinks

oh aren't you

playing that old game and both have you

pleased this pilot hasn't he ever been

known to loosen up josie oh you should

know jim

if you want a drink you're gonna have to

buy it from him or die of things right

yeah well

i'll bet this is one time he's going to

treat oh my god i'll take that bet now

listen when you've heard the news i've

got for you you're going to be so

delighted you won't be able to drag out

the old bottle quick enough i'd have to

be insanely delighted you shut up father

what news tim well i uh have it off the

grapevine that a certain exalted person

is going to drop in on you before long

it's a sheriff again i can tell by the

please look on your mic no not this time

oh bad luck here jim who is it a more

eminent grafter than the sheriff uh one

of the leading aristocrats in our land

of the free and get rich quick

whose boots are licked by one and all

one of the kings of the republic by

divine right of inherited swag

in short i refer to your good neighbor

t steadman harder standard oil sappiest

child whom i know you both loved so

dearly

it's too good to be true no no kidding

the great mr harder intends to stop by

here on his way back to lunch from his

horseback ride but why has harder

decided to take notice of poor humble

scum the likeable that's right josie be

humble he'll expect you to know your

place

well my god this is going to be a

beautiful day entirely yes but what is

harder's reason ah it seems he has an

ice pond on his estate oh so that's it

oh yes that's it harder likes to keep up

the good old menorial customs he clings

to his ice pond

and your peg pen isn't far from his ice

pot yours is a short stroll for the

little darlings at all

well somehow harder's fence in that

vicinity has a habit of breaking down

well fences are queer things you can't

depend on

the results of those breaks in the fence

are that your pigs

stroll as you so gracefully stroll

through to wallow happily along the

chores of his ice park well why

shouldn't they show their fine ambitious

american-born pigs wouldn't miss any

opportunities they're like hardest

father made all the money yeah i agree

with you but for some strange reason

harder does not look forward to the

taste of pig in next summer's ice water

it must be delicate

josie remember as delicate would you

leave your club in the house

oh my god in the mountains i'm wrong for

years to have a quiet little chat with

mr harder him and his limey

superintendent who won't i will come up

with him oh won't we i mean sure don't i

love him as much as you

jim might give you a kiss for this

beautiful news if he wasn't so damned

ugly thank you well maybe josie'll do it

kissing a corpse

heart

big drag around here he'd have you pinch

easy mark for a joke and he's made a

goat out of you goat again as it's all

at you now the stupid object you are

mumbling and drooling shut up your

insults would you

i can get my head clear any damn time i

please

i can remember everything that's

happened tonight it's clear as if i'd

not taken a drop if you just listen to

me and not keep calling me a liar well i

will listen now i see you got hold of

your wits all right

i'll begin at the beginning when him and

we left here and you you gave him a big

shaped smile and rolled your big

beautiful cow's eyes at him and wiggled

your backside and stuck out your

beautiful breasts you know in my own so

much says to him in a sick sheep's voice

don't forget i'll moonlight dead will

you shut up your god i never said

anything and he says oh you bet i won't

forget josie oh yes the dirty liar well

i went down to the end started drinking

whiskey this here i got drunk

i guess that no and jim got drunk too

and then what happened oh well

god's curse on him

i'll wager he's laughing himself sick

this minute thinking it's the cutest

damn joke in the world the fools he's

made of us you in particular

well by god i had my suspicions at least

but you your head was so full of mush

and love you tell that lie about my love

once too often you shouldn't allow them

get away from me to the end of it

you should have kept him here

maybe you could have got him drunk

enough

i will never

mind there's no good talking now

no good at all

well is it great to sell this farm

that's what

simpson comes to the inn with a new

offer from harter ten thousand cash ten

thousand that's right oh but sure three

is all it's worth the most and two is

what you offered the jim said he'd take

well what the hell is money to harder

after what we did to him all he wants is

revenge i'll tell you where he gets foxy

too

simpson's got to put him up to it no i

know jim hates it here living on a small

allowance longs to get back to broadway

in his horse well sir

jim won't have to wait for his half of

the cash to the estate settled harder

offers him 5 000 cashes alone against

the estate second the salesmate jim can

take the next train back to new york

and he accepted did it

i don't believe it all right don't

believe it

my god you'll believe it tomorrow

harder proposes a gym meet with him and

the executives in the morning

jim swears to him will do it

or maybe he'll get so drunk he won't

remember no i won't

and anyway

don't you think that because he forgot

you were here waiting in the moonlight

hating your heart out that he'd ever

miss a date with five thousand cash and

all the pretty broadway he can

buy

well

what were you doing my lawless was going

on huh

wasn't there anything you could do to

stop a child fool jersey i was just so

drown in sorrow by his betraying me and

you he pretended to like so much

well the temptation was too great for

him

he's a weak one one foot in the grave

from the whiskey

i suppose we shouldn't blame him

not playing them

well

i blame him

damn him

are you making excuses for me old fool

no i'm not he's a dirty snake

i was only thinking how the hell do i

know what i wouldn't do for five

thousand how do you know what you

wouldn't do

nothing could make me betray him

or at least it couldn't be far tonight

now there isn't anything i wouldn't do

oh yes do you think i'm mine aren't you

well you just give me a chance no no no

sweetheart i just remembered something i

my cat josie for all his broadway wisdom

about women you've made a prize damn

fool out of him that's some satisfaction

how do you mean well sweetheart i don't

want you dropping dead here with

amazement

he believes you're a virgin

he does he said it he means it the poor

dumps he thinks you're the poor innocent

virgin it's all boasting and pretending

you'll be doing about being a

a virgin you stop saying it

posted and pretending am i the dirty

liar faith you don't have to tell me

georgie you're taking this as an insult

oh why the hell aren't you laughing

sweetheart you got to see what the

stupid shape that makes him oh i do have

my darling i remember something else

i know i didn't keep his date with you

that's not he forgot no sorry you

remembered well enough because he talked

about it

he deliberately

none that i have a certain comment since

he was tormenting him

so he's going to stay away from you

leave you alone for your sake because he

loves you

loves me that's right

oh you're making it up i'm not making it

up what does it mean for myself well

can't you see it

you're a pure virgin to him but all the

same as things besides your beautiful

soul he feels daunting like your

beautiful eyes and your hair and you

hold on please father oh you know i'm a

great ugly cow what he's going to do is

he's going to stay away from temptation

because he don't trust himself and it'll

be a sin on his conscience if he wants

to seduce you

oh my god if that ain't rich

oh it is mad shirley

oh i just wish i'd been there to laugh

at my slivers

does all this crazy lion blather have to

do with his betraying us

and

selling this place

nothing at all i only thought you'd like

to know you had that much revenge

hell of a revenge

i'll have a better one than that i know

the reason why

i'm not like you owning up i'm beating

and crying while i wear like a card and

then gone and getting hopeless drugs all

right

now you get your wits about you and you

answer me this did simpson get him to

sign a paper well no but what good is he

gonna do in the morning he's gonna sign

all this up in front of him oh well it's

this much good

it means we still have a chance or i

have

i'll get him here

i'll humble my pride and i'll go to the

in forum and if he doesn't want to come

then i'll raise the scene and pretend

i'm in a rage because he forgot our date

oh

i know his weakness it's his vanity

about women

oh if i was a pretty dainty little tired

raising the rumpus about him he'd be

proud

but when it's a great rough ugly cow

like me

well if he ever was tempted to want me

to be ashamed of it that's the truth

behind all his lies to you about his

conscience and does not want to ruin me

damn him nope josie he meant that he

meant it well never mind it now all

right say you got him here what would

you do

i told you this morning

if he ever went back on his word to us i

would do anything

and i will

your part is

is to come at sunrise with witnesses and

catch us that is it

then it's mike's second scheme he got in

your mind i told you i didn't care how

dirty the dirty the better now well not

sweetheart how are you going to get him

in bed with all his scruples thinking

you're a virgin you know i'm forgetting

he's staying away because he's afraid to

his lies he won't be tempted at all i

tell you

but i'll just get him so drunk that

he'll fall asleep and then i'll pick him

up carry him in and put him in the bed

well by god that's the way that's the

way now

you're gonna have to get a pile of

whiskey inside them and you'll never do

that unless you're more sociable

oh

the best way would be for you to drink

with them and then they'll give you

courage too you'd like bowl for a change

oh follow sly advice all at once aren't

you a dirty little tick didn't you just

tell me to get my wits together

now if you want me drunk again i've only

to let go that'd suit me i want to

forget my soros

i have no faith in your scheme anyway

you're so full of scruples like the

drinking this is a virtuous t total i

told you that i would do anything now

all i meant was that

well

it's not right for

a father to tell his daughter how to

sure

i don't need your advice

haven't i had all the men around here

that i want that's a tall cat's a talk

now sweetheart let me get it all clear

would you now i'm to come in the morning

with my witnesses and you forgot to lock

your door so when we go here's a tui in

the bed and i raise the roof and i

threaten him if he don't marry my me

after what he's done to us

i wouldn't marry him now if he were the

last man on earth

all we want is a paper signed by him

with witnesses that he'll sell his place

to you for the price you offered and not

to hurt yes well that's just a

sweetheart but that's all it is i

thought you wanted to pay him back for

his black treachery against us a dirty

bastard well i do want

[Laughter]

oh it's a stage buddy you're thinking of

isn't it leave it to you

well

so am i

sure

i'd like to get my hands on it too

because if i'm to play i deserve

my paint on

we'll get him to sign a paper now what

the minute the estate is settled he owes

me ten thousand dollars how's that oh

i'll bet not one of his styles ever got

one thousandth part of that out of them

no matter how dangerous they were

and here this will be the biggest joke

of all just to teach him a lesson he'll

pay it for nothing i'll get him to bed

but i'll never let him wait josie

there's another thing

i'm just what do you want me to threaten

him with when i catch her that we're

going to sue him for outraging your

virtue now his lawyer's going to have

all your old flames in that witness

boxer till uh jury's gonna think you've

been faithful to the male inhabitants of

america see

so what threats wait out i can't think

of when he wouldn't laugh at

well i can

do i have to tell you his weakness again

his broadway pride that he's so wise

that no woman could ever make a fool of

him

well

the disgrace have been caught with the

likes of me my mug beside his and all

the newspapers the new york papers do

well you see the hall of broadway

splitting the sides laughing

oh you'll do anything to shut us up i

tell you so don't worry i know hell by

god you're right you know damned if i

don't think you're almost glad of the

excuse

excuse for watch oh god why to show him

no man can get the best to you what else

mirror

light her lamp

but it's the only way i can see has a

chance now

danny drop you look a million darling

thought he didn't forget double cross

he likes know better

do you know that he is the only real

friend i've got left

except you josie

i love his gut oh for the love of god i

know it sounds like the old moaning at

the bar stuff but i mean it well i know

my father's virtues well enough without

you telling me i appreciate him josie

because he worships the ground you walk

on and he knows you a lot better than

you think

ever listened to

do you mean the blonde on the tray a

train who told you

oh that's right i did say

what blonde what's the difference coming

back from the coast it was long ago

although it seems like tonight

you know josie there is no present or

future

only the past happening over and over

again now

can't get away from it huh

that nuts to hell with that crap

you came back from the coast of here

yeah what are we talking about before

huh

oh yeah yeah what a grand guy

phil is

now you want to be glad you have him for

a father josie

mine was an old bastard he was not he

was one of the finest kindest gentlemen

who ever lived outside the family sure

but inside he was a tight wad best oh

you ought to be ashamed what speak ill

of the dead nuts he can't hear me he

knows i hated him anyway

but she hated me

i'm glad he's dead

so is he yeah he ought to be

everyone ought to be if they had any

sense

out of a bum racket

happy

oh well that's what the hell out of it

oh jim don't please you know i hate it

when you talk like that

you want to spoil our beautiful

moonlight night then don't be telling me

about your flames on trains or anyplace

else i'm too jealous that pig

josie

you're a fool to be jealous of anyone

you see you are the only woman i care a

damn

about jim

all right

i'll try to believe that

for tonight

thanks

hey

why did you say a little while ago i'd

be leaving for new york soon

wow it was the truth wasn't it

why are you pulling your hand away what

was i

well i suppose because it seems silly

for you to be holding my great ugly paw

so tenderly

what

you're welcome to it if you like

i do lie

strong and kind

and warm like you

oh for the love of god

wow

you'll be taking the train back to your

broadway tomorrow night now won't you

tomorrow night where'd you guys at oh a

little bird told me hmm whenever i give

that bird the bird

by the end of the week is the right dope

phil has got his dates mixed oh

he didn't tell me he's too drunk to

remember anything yeah

he was sober when i told him

you know i called the executors when we

arrived at the inn after leaving here

they said the estate would be out of

probate in a few days

i told phil the glad tidings bought

drinks for all it's sunday there's quite

a celebration yeah

funny phil wouldn't remember that oh yes

it is funny well he's stewed to the

years that always explains anything

only sometimes it doesn't no

sometimes it doesn't oh

that phil has certainly got a prize bun

on tonight

he never took a swing at me before

and all of that drivel about owing me

one

what got into his head i wondered oh

should i know if you don't well i don't

know

now

oh yeah

i remember now i was trying to get his

goat

simpson sat down with it harder and sent

him to see me

say do you remember after harder left

here today i said the joke was on you

you'd make this place into a gold mine

well i was kidding but i had to write

dope

what do you think he told simpson to

offer me

10 grand

on a level josie and you accept it no i

told simpson to tell harder i did i

figure the best way to fix him is to let

him think he got away with it then when

he comes around tomorrow to drive me to

the executors i'll tell him what he can

do with himself and his bankroll

and his tin oil tank

[Laughter]

oh so that's the truth i did as a kid

phil too of course he was right there

listening but i know i didn't fool him

oh well

maybe you did fool him this once

but

well i don't know

and that's why he took a swing at me

huh

well if so the

joke is on him

the same i'll be good and sore josie

he knows damn well i promised i wouldn't

sell this place to anyone except him

oh what in the hell does he think i am

he knows i wouldn't double-cross you and

him for 10 million oh don't i know jim i

told him that she'd never

i love you jim

thanks josie

i mean for not believing i'm a rotten

louse everyone else does including

myself

for good reason

ah but i'm a fool you know to let this

stuff about phil get under my skin

you know i remember telling him tonight

i'd written my brother a letter and got

his okay on selling the farm to him and

phil thanked me

seemed touched and grateful

god you wouldn't think he'd forget that

would you no no indeed you wouldn't

well he'll have a lot of explaining to

do when he gets back here

when he comes back

oh i'll teach him to act like an old

fool now you get out the old club huh

oh what a bluff you are joji yeah

you

and your lovers may selena

when you've never you're a liar pride is

the sin by which the angels fell

are you going to keep that up with me

josie oh you think i've never because no

one would because i'm a great rap ugly

cow nuts you could have had any one of

them you wanted you're kidding them

along until you were sure they wanted

you that was all you wanted

then you slapped them groggy when they

asked for more

but you had to keep on convincing

yourself

look josie you can take the truth from

me because you and i belong to the same

club

we can kid the world but we can't fool

ourselves like most people

no matter what we do

nor escape ourselves no matter how far

we run away

whether it's the bottom of a bottle or

southsea island

we'll find our ghosts are there waiting

to greet us sleepless with pale

commemorative eyes

as rosetti wrote

that old poetic bull

crap

well

you don't ask how i saw through your

bluff josie

you pretend too much

so do all the guys i've heard them down

at the end they all lie to each other

look no one wants to admit that all he

got was a slap in the puss when he

figures a lot of other guys made it

and they know you don't give a damn you

know how they lie at least phil is wise

to you too of course

and although he knew i knew

he never admitted it until tonight

oh

he admitted it did he

i'll wait till i get hold of him never

admit it to you he's afraid of hurting

you oh yes is he will you shut up about

him all right all right

just trying to clear things up for

phil's sake as well as yours

and you've got a hell of a license to be

sore you know

he's the one that ought to be

oh josie don't you realize the lousy

position you put him in with his

ah this brazen trollop ass no

he doesn't care

except to use me in his scheme of course

he cares and so do i

i care

josie i love you

oh do you

oh well then

i'll confess the truth to you i've been

a crazy fool i

i am a virgin

and now you'll

never

and now i want you to more than ever

because

i love you more than ever after what

you've done

all that you will

i'll make you

to hell with your honorable scruples i

know you want me

i couldn't believe it before tonight

but now i know

it's in your kisses

oh

you grateful

as if i gave a damn what happened after

i'll have had tonight and you'll love to

remember for the rest of my days

oh

didn't you say yourself

it was only tonight

with me

oh

i must remember though

to make you leave before sunrise

i

i'm not a

[Music]

drunk not responsible

oh don't cry does it don't cry no i'm

done

stop me

what's drawn a blank for a while

that's without the faking i knew what i

was doing

it's funny josie

i was seeing things that's the truth

for a moment i thought you were the

blind

oh hippie jeebies huh

care of the dog i'm

pour the whole bottle down your throat

if you like only stop talking oh

can't forgive me huh well you ought to

you ought to thank me for letting you

see

well

here's how

there was a nightcap

yeah

uh moonlight romance seems to be a big

flop josie i guess i better go

yeah

you better go

good night good night goodbye

goodbye yeah

i won't be seeing you again before i

leave for new york

i have a damn fool to come here tonight

anyway uh

hope

you don't get it josie

i could you so what's so good

ah

who called you a

and i warned you didn't if you kept on

why'd you have to act like one asked me

to go to bed with you that isn't what i

came here for and you promised tonight

would be different

why the hell do you promise that what

you wanted was what all the others want

if that's all that love means to you huh

josie

i didn't mean that

look i know how you feel

and if i could bring you happiness

it wouldn't work kid you don't know me i

poisoned it for you and i poisoned it

for myself

poisoned it already haven't i

it'll be a million times worse afterward

no matter how hard i tried i'd make this

night like all the other nights for you

too

yeah you'd lie awake and watch the dawn

come with disgust

with nausea wretching your memory

and the whine of passion the poets blab

about

sour after taste in your mouth stop it

you'd hate me and you'd hate yourself

not for just a day or two

but for the rest of your life

because believe me kid

when i poison them

they stay

poison

goodbye

joshua

why uh

yeah i find it harder for a gift too

came here asking for love

for one night because i taught you that

that's the hell with it

well come here to me a great fool and

stop your silly blana

there's nothing to hate you for there's

nothing to forgive i

i was only trying to give you happiness

because

i love you so much

i'm sorry i was such a fool and didn't

see

but now i do see

and you will find that

i have all the love that you need

thanks josie

you're beautiful

i love you

i know you'd understand

of course i understand

come here now

i didn't want to leave you know that

don't you

indeed i do

yes that's right

come on now and sit down the way we

planned with my arm around you and your

head against my breast and forget my

being a fool

and forgive my selfishness and thinking

only of myself

oh there's one thing i owe you after all

my lion and ski minutes to give you the

kind of love you need

and it'll be my pride and my joy

easy enough to

but i have all kinds of love for you

and maybe

this is the greatest of all because

it costs so much

oh jim please

don't look like that look like what

it's the moonlight

it makes your face so bad i mean i look

dead

oh no as if you were asleep

hey listen josie

if you're such a glutton for punishment

after all i said i'd tell you later

didn't i

he said you tell me about the blonde on

the train

she's part of it

i lied about that

oh you never believed it could have

happened if you didn't believe you'd

never be able to understand

forgive it

but you might judge

you're the one person who might because

you really love me

and because you're the only woman i've

ever met who can't understand the lousy

rotten things a man can do when he's

crazy drunk

draws a blank

especially when he's nutty with grief to

start with of course i'll understand you

but i didn't draw a blank josie yeah

i tried to

i drank enough to knock out ten men but

it didn't work

i knew

what i was doing

i can't tell you georgie

load my guts and i wouldn't blame you no

jim i love you no matter what

all right

remember now

that's a promise

you better not tell me if it'll make you

sound what are you trying to do josie

welch on me now

no good you know it won't work

too late

got me started

suffer

you know when mama died i'd been on the

wagon for nearly two years

not even a glass of beer honestly

and i know i would have stayed on for

her sake

she had no one but me the old man was

dead my kid brother married had a kid

his own life to live she'd lost him

she had only me

to attend a thing for her and take care

of her

you always hated my drinking so i quit

made me happy to quit for her because

she was all i had all i cared about

because i loved her

don't want to believe that now who knew

good idea

i know how much you loved her gym now we

had to go out to the coast

see about selling a piece of property

the old man had bought out there years

ago

one day

suddenly became ill went into a coma

that rapidly works brain tumor doc said

no hope might never come out of coleman

well

josie

i went crazy i

i couldn't face losing her

and the old

boujean

got me

i got drunk

and i stayed

drunk

and i began hoping she'd never come out

of that coma and see that i was drinking

again oh

that was my excuse too that she'd never

know

and she never did

that's

kidding myself again

i know damn well just before she died

she recognized me she's so drunk

that she closed her eyes so she couldn't

see

and was glad to die

jim you only feel that way because

you're so guilty about the drink yeah

well after that josie i kept so drunk i

did draw a blank most of the time

but i went through the necessary

emotions

and nobody guessed

how drunk

but there are things i can never forget

the undertaker's in her body in a coffin

with her face made up

i couldn't hardly recognize her

she looked young and pretty

like someone i remembered meeting long

ago

practically a stranger there

to whom i was a stranger

cold and

indifferent

not worried about me anymore

free at last free

from worry from pain

from me

well jose i stood there

looking down at her

and something happened to me

i found i couldn't feel anything

i knew i ought to be heartbroken but

i couldn't feel anything

i seemed dead too

i knew how to cry you know even a crying

dragon looked better than just

standing there but i couldn't cry so

i cursed myself you dirty bastard that's

mama you loved her now she's dead she's

gone away from you forever never never

again but it had no effect

all i did was explain to myself she's

dead what does she care now whether i

cry or not or what i do it doesn't

matter a damn to her

she's happy to be where i can't hurt her

ever again she's rid of me at last

for god's sake

can't you leave her alone

even now

but god say

can't you let her rest

in peace

but there were several people around and

they expected me to show something

you know once a ham always a hand so i

put on an axe flopped down on my knees

hid my face in my hands faked some sobs

and cried llama mama my dear mama and

all the time i'm saying to myself

you lousy ham

you damn lousy ham

yeah

the minute you start shaking mud of a

crazy

well i'd take a body back east to be

buried beside the old man

so i took a drawing room does he and i

hid in it with a case of booze

and her coffin was in the baggage car

ahead

and no matter how drunk i got i couldn't

forget it for a minute

well josie i couldn't stay alone in the

drawing i became haunted i was going

crazy in there i had to go out and

wander up and down a train looking for

company

i mean it's a public nuisance of myself

the conductor threatened if i didn't

quit he'd keep me locked in the drawing

room yeah

but i had spotted one passenger who was

used to drunks

and could pretend to like him if there's

enough dough in it

he had pollocks written all over

fat blonde pig

looked more like a than 25

with a face

a face like an overgrown dolls and a

come on smile as cold as a polar bear's

feet so i bribed the porter to take a

message to her and that night she

sneaked into my drawing room she was

bound for new york too

so every night

for 50 bucks a night how cool could i i

don't know josie but i did

i suppose i had some

mad idea that she could make me

forget

what was in that baggage car ahead

oh no

it couldn't have been that

because you see

i didn't seem to want to forget

now

it was

it was like some plot i had to carry out

the blonde she didn't matter

she was just someone who belonged in a

plot

it wasn't this

as if i wanted to revenge

because i'd been left alone

because i knew i was lost without any

hope left

and all i could do would be drink

drink

drink myself to death

because no one was left that could help

me nah does he

i didn't forget

yeah

that even in that pig's arm

i remembered

the last two lines of a lousy tearjerker

song i heard when i was a kid

kept singing over and over in my brain

and babies cry

can't waken her

in the package coach i had jim stop i

couldn't stop it singing josie

i didn't want to stop it for the love of

god i don't want to hear

that's all

except i was too drunk to go to a

funeral

oh god

oh

don't want to touch me now huh well

i don't blame you

sure

another damn fool i shouldn't have told

you no jim please

don't say i don't want to touch you

it's a lie

you know judging

i wish i could believe in that

spiritualist bunk

you see if i could tell her

it was because i missed her

so much

couldn't forgive her for leaving me

she'd understand and forgive me

don't you think

she always did

she was simple and kind

and pure of heart

she was beautiful

you're like her josie

deep in your heart that's why i told you

i saw

it

well

that's

my mistake i get it

anyway

time i gotta move on

i don't like your damn moon joji

it's an ad for the past

it is the very error of the moon

she comes more nearer earth than she was

won't

and makes men mad

i gotta grab the last trolley back to

town

well jim you won't go i won't let you

listen again please

i understand

i'm proud

that you came to me as the one person in

the world that you know

loves you enough to understand and

forgive

and i do foggy

oh georgie

thank you

i knew

as she forgives

as she

understands

and loves

and forgive

yes

do what you came for my dad

it's not drunken laughter in a speakeasy

you want to hear it all but the sound of

yourself

cry and your heart's repentance against

her

and she hits her

i feel her in the moon

a soul wrapped in it like a silver

mantle and i know that she

understands

and forgives me too

and her blessing lies on

[Music]

oh my goodness

aren't you a fan

wanting to leave me when the night i

promised you it's just begun

all right

it'll be different from all the eyes

with a dawn that won't come

creeping over dirty window pants

but that'll wake in the sky like a

promise of

god's peace

and the soul's dark set

[Laughter]

do you hear me

i'm a poet now who would have tested it

sure love is a wonderful mad inspiration

oh that's

sleep in peace my god

oh jim

maybe my love could still save you if

you could want it

oh enough

that will never be

oh god

it's a fine end to all my scheming to

sit here with the dead hug to my breast

and the silly mug of the moon grinning

down and joy in the joke

[Music]

stop hiding father

i heard you sneak up

come over here now and be quiet about it

talk lord now

i don't want him awakened until the dawn

has beauty in it what

my god he looks dead

why wouldn't he

yes yes

oh don't be a damn fool can't you see

him breathing

dead asleep a man

where's your witnesses

witnesses

by god josie if that's not a joke on me

i got sublime drunk down there at the

end i forgot all about her little scheme

i came home here i fell asleep in the

hayloft

they're a lion oh no i'm not i just woke

up

just woke up did you

and then you sneaked around here to see

if the scheme behind your scheme had

worked

well i don't know what you

mean don't tell any more lies father

you told one too many

i'm sure if i brought the witnesses

there'd be nothing for them to witness

it oh that's true

there's nothing

nothing at all

except a great miracle that none of them

would believe

are you at

what miracle

a virgin

who bears a dead child in the night

and the dawn finds there is still a

virgin

ain't america what is

oh it'll be beautiful soon and i can

like him

well now josie for the love of god can't

you tell me what's happened

i told you one

not nothing

if you could see the sadness in your

face oh wow

what woman doesn't sorrow for the man

that she loved to his dad

but

there's pride in my heart too will you

stop talking like you got mad in the

night and listen to me jim tyrone's done

something to bring you

all right all right come on

sleep in peace for a while longer

oh he did nothing to bring me sorrow it

was my mistake

i thought

there was still hope

i didn't know that he'd

died already

that it was a damn soul coming to me in

the moonlight to confess and be forgiven

and

find peace for a night will you stop it

he wouldn't do anything to hurt me you

know

sure

hasn't he told me that i am beautiful

tour

and that he loves me in his fashion

well all that happened was that he got

drunk and he had one of his crazy

notions he wanted to sleep the way you

see him now let him see

now by god the night is over and i am

half dead with tiredness and sleepiness

oh

that's what you see in my face not

sorrow don't you try to fool me josie

fool you is it

it's you who tried to make a fool out of

me with your lies

thinking to use me to get your dirty

greedy hooks on the money he'll have

jersey no i swear by all the scenes

where on the bible while you were

stealing it

now you listen to me father

i didn't call you over here to answer

questions about what's none of your

business i want you to shut up

i will do all the talk

you weren't wrong

you were putting it on as part of your

scheme

you knew that jim lied about the farm

you knew that he was kidding

you knew that a state would be out of

probate in a few days and he'd be going

back to new york you had to do something

fast you'd lose that last chance to get

your hands on his mother josie it wasn't

that why you did it very clever too you

ought to be proud

you worked it so it was me who did all

this

you knew i'd find out from jim that

you'd lied about the fun

but not before the lie had done its

trick

made me go after him get him drunk get

drunk myself so i could be

shameless

and when the truth did come out one and

make me love him all the more and be all

the more shameless and willing

oh don't tell me you didn't count on

that and you're such a clever schemer

and

when he'd had me

and i was a virgin

didn't you count on his honor and his

remorse and his

loving me in his fashion to make him

offer to marry me

why wouldn't he thought he

wouldn't matter to him

he'd go back to new york i'd never see

him again but there'd be that money

and when he'd finished

killing himself

i would be his legal widow and get what

was left

it wasn't that

ah

what's the use of talking father

it's all over

i've only one more word for you that's

this

i'm leaving you today

the same as my brother's lecture

and you can

live alone and work alone your common

schemes on yourself

oh no

josie i knew you'd be better against me

do you see but i took the chance you'd

be so happy you wouldn't care how can

you

go into the house now don't come out

again until after he's left

i don't want you here to start some new

ski

i'm sorry to wake you jim

if you could have died in your sleep

that's what you would have liked isn't

it

oh god please

let them remember that one thing and

forget all the rest

that'll be enough for me

jim

[Music]

stuff

the hell are you sweetheart

where's the big idea why it could be

happening

what time is it it's dawn

but i was desolate and sick of an old

passion

when i woke up father the dawn was gray

[Music]

the on the train turn now

drawing a blank ever wondering how you

thing

i don't know will i find out if i'm

still alive

thanks josie

well come on now drink up before you

fall back to sleep

i'm awake now josie

funny i don't seem to want to drink

oh i got a head all right but no

heebie-jeebies yet

i'm glad

ah it must be pleasant for a change yes

i got a nice dreamy peaceful hangover

for once

though i had a sound sleep without any

nightmare oh

so you did

don't i know dibble a nightmare

well wasn't i holding in keeping them

away

you mean

wait a minute

yeah i remember now

i was sitting alone at a table at the

inn

when all of a sudden i got this crazy

notion i'd come up here and sleep with

my head on your

oh so that's why i woke up in your arms

and you let me get away with it you're a

nut josie

oh i didn't mind him

suppose i poured the hell out of here

with a lot of drunken dribbles huh oh

not a lot

but some

you were full of a lot of blarney about

how beautiful i was to you

well that wasn't drivel josie you were

you are

you always will be

oh you are a wonder jim

nothing will stop you will it not even

the sight of me and the dawn looking

like something you'd put out there in

the fields to keep the crows off the

corn

you'll kid on the day of doom

you know damn well it wasn't kidding

you're no fool jose you can tell

all right then

i am beautiful to you

and you love me in your fashion

oh in my fashion huh

good god was i reciting poetry to you

that must have been hard to take oh it

wasn't i liked it

it was all about beautiful nights and

the romance of the moon there was some

excuse for that anyway it was a

beautiful night i'll never forget it

i'm glad

well uh

what other bunk did i pull on you i mean

the old john barley corn pool

oh nothing much

you were mostly quiet and sad

and the kind of daze

as if the moon was in your wits as well

as the whiskey oh

i remember i was having a grand old time

celebrating with phil don at the end

and then for no reason all the fun went

out of it and i became as melancholy as

ten hamlets

i hope i didn't tell you the sad story

of my life and weave on your bosom josie

oh you didn't

you talk mostly about how you wanted the

night with me to be different from all

the other nights you'd spend with women

oh god don't make me think of those

tramps now

but it sure was different josie

look i may not remember much but i know

how different it was by the way i feel

now

none of my usual morning after stuff

damn sick remorse that makes you wish

you died in your sleep because you're

afraid to face the rotten things you

said and did the night before when you

were so

crazy drunk

you didn't know what you were doing

you didn't do i say anything last night

for you to regret

you can take my word for it

to stop your damn pretending and face

the truth that you loved each other

hooker by crook one or the other what

the hell did i care how i i wanted to

saw and you made me hope

well if i gave a thought at all to the

money jose it was the least of us

these and comfort for a change like you

deserve instead of in a chanting a lousy

farm slaving for me

sweetheart

while thank god for that donna

thinking after you left i'd go and drown

myself in hard as ice punt

knew the bastard would never look at the

pisa ice again without remembering me

like his curse on the pitch i don't

bother

i love him why not

i didn't mean it i know

i know whatever happened he meant you no

harm is

old scheming fool like i ought to oh
