:43:00
I tried to tell you folks
what it took me a year to find out.
:43:04
Took two kids dead. Took my wife dead to
show me. But nobody could tell me neither.
:43:10
I can't tell you about them little fellows laying
in the tent with their bellies swelled out
:43:15
and just skin over their bones.
:43:17
Shivering and whining like pups.
:43:20
And me running around looking for work.
:43:23
Not for money. Not for wages.
:43:26
Just for a cup of flour and a spoon of lard.
:43:29
Then the coroner come.
:43:31
"Them children died of heart failure," he said.
He put it down in his paper.
:43:36
Heart failure?
:43:38
And their little bellies
stuck out like a pig bladder.
:43:44
Well, it's late. I got to get some sleep.
:43:49
Well...
:43:51
Good night, folks.
:44:05
Suppose he's telling the truth, that fella?
:44:10
He's telling the truth.
:44:12
The truth for him.
:44:14
He wasn't making it up.
:44:17
Was it the truth for us?
:44:20
I don't know.
