"This here is William James Joad.
Died of a stroke, old, old man."

:37:09
"His folks buried him because
they got no money to pay for funeral... s."

:37:22
"Nobody killed him.
Just a stroke and he died."

:37:30
I figure best we leave
something like this on him,

:37:33
'lest somebody digs him up
and makes out he was killed.

:37:38
Looks like a lot of times the government's got
more interest in a dead man than a live one.

:37:43
Not be so Ionesome,
knowing his name's there with him.

:37:47
Notjust an old fella Ionesome underground.
:37:52
Would you say a few words, Casy?
:37:56
I ain't a preacher no more, you know.
:37:59
We know, but ain't none of our folks
ever been buried without a few words.

:38:07
I'll say 'em, make it short.
:38:15
This here old man just...
:38:18
lived a life and just died out of it.
:38:21
I don't know whether he was good or bad.
:38:24
It don't matter much.
:38:28
Heard a fella say a poem once.
:38:30
And he says, "All that lives is holy."
:38:35
Well, I wouldn't pray
just for an old man that's dead,

:38:38
cos he's all right.
:38:41
If I was to pray, I'd pray for folks that's
alive and don't know which way to turn.

:38:47
Grandpa here...
:38:49
he ain't got no more trouble like that.
:38:53
He's got his job all cut out for him,
so cover him up and let him get to it.
