You know who I am?
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
You ever heard tell of
Lee
Christmas?
Got me to rheumatism.
All swole up and ug lified.
Don't go making no mistake about
me.
Man's got to finish what he starts,
it's the only way to finish off your life.
How'd you like to be a 64 year old with arthritis,
rheumatism, and the varicose veins in your
Legs lookin' like some treasure map.
And you wonder,
how come I'd wanna take your horse
to get me over the border?
Christmas.
Lee
Christmas.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
That name
Christmas tells you something, don't it?
Yeah, there's a few know
I've passed this way.
I got a mighty fine proposition for you two,
join up with, a real toke with you and the boy.
You ever tell him what he's got to look forward to,
or does he know already?
Oh sure, you got the emancipation procrastination
and amendments up to your eyeballs,
but come hard times what you gonna do?
Sing a hallelujah chorus of
John
Brown's body?
Or are you gonna join the army again
so both sides can shoot at you?
You're smart, you do, like
Old
Smoke.
Honorous black man ever lived.
Made the
James boys look like small potatoes.
You heard
Old
Smoke?
Because of his pride.
He had a price on his head and he wasn't satisfied,
so he had to make it grow.
Old
Smoke, he never gave an inch.
No man, white or black.
When
Judge
Park askin', you got anything to say?
Old
Smokey answer, I come here to die,
not to make speeches.
hm, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Hard times missin'.
Smoke!
Smoke, I thought he been another one
like you.
