- The first job I ever really got...
- [Stops]

:03:05
Grandma... She's the one who clacked
her false teeth to the radio.

:03:10
She taught my mama how to sing,
and my mama taught me.

:03:13
One time she took me, 'cause we
was gonna get a new Frigidaire.

:03:16
She took me to the Frigidaire store
where the man was advertisin'.

:03:20
This record was goin' 'round, and
Mama told him I knew how to sing.

:03:23
He said, "If she learns this tune,
I'll give y'all a quarter."

:03:28
So Mama and I went home...
:03:31
And then what happened?
Let's see, I think... Uh, yeah.

:03:34
We went home and I learned both
sides of the record in half an hour.

:03:38
We went back and told him that
I'd learned 'em, and he said,

:03:42
"Let me hear," so I sang both sides
of the record instead of just one.

:03:46
So he gave us 50 cents, and we went
across the street and had us a soda.

:03:50
[Chuckles] Ever since then
I been workin'. I don't...

:03:53
I think ever since then
I been workin' and doin' my...

:03:56

- Supportin'myself.

:03:58

- [Chuckling] Hey, hey. Hey, hey.

:04:01
- Am I all right? Am I all right?
- Oh, you're fine, darlin'.

:04:04
- It's the microphone.
- I ain't done.

:04:06
- I know, I know.
- I ain't done.

:04:08
Get us a glass of water.
Boys, help her off, all right?

:04:11
- You'll come back. Okay, darlin'?

:04:16

:04:25

It's just too soon, now.

:04:28
All of you must know... Aw, come on.
You didn't mean that, did you?

:04:32

:04:35
- Oh, no. Hold it down, boys.

:04:40

to disappoint you.
