The Unsinkable Molly Brown

Belly up, belly up to the bar, boys Better loosen your belts

Only drink when you're all alone Or with somebody else

Belly up, belly up to the bar, boys Let your money be seen

Only drink by day or night Or somewheres in between

Belly up, belly up to the bar, boys While the weather is clear

If it isn't rain and rain you'll know It's rainin' ale and beer

Belly up, belly up to the bar, boys If it isn't your day

A quart and pint mixed up just right

Will cure you right away

Away

Away

Come in and sit a while, Murphy.

We'll open the jug and toss a few. Bring in the feed, Mol.

Jam, Joe, get her! Get her, Jam!

Jam, don't let her get away. Get her!

Joe, come on!

There she goes.

Don't let her get away!

You're not gonna get me!

Here we go!

Never! Never! Never!

Let me go! Get off of me!

Holler uncle!

Molly, holler uncle!

I ain't never hollering uncle to you or nobody! I ain't never down.

And even if I was, you'd sure never hear it from me.

Holler uncle, Molly!

You're tuckered. Why don't you quit?

Sure, I'm tuckered.

And I might give out, but I won't give in.

How could anybody say I'm down? Look, I'm blinking.

And I'm also thinking how to break through. Maybe here!

Maybe here!

Maybe no place, but there'll come a time...

...because nothing nor nobody wants me down like I wants me up!

Up where the people are. Up where the talking is.

Up where the joke's going on.

Now, look here. I am important to me.

I ain't no bottom to no pile.

I mean much more to me than I mean to anybody I ever knew!

Certainly more than any siwash yazzyhampers like you guys.

Go ahead, break my arm.

Me say uncle? Ha!

Doesn't make a difference for you to tell me I'm down...

...till I say so too.

Ever try stepping on a chigger bug? Well, there's one now! Jump him!

You thinking you got him? You thinking he's quick?

He don't think so. There he goes!

And you can be positive sure...

...I'm as good as any chigger bug ever lived!

I hate that word "down."

But I love the word "up"...

...because "up" means hope.

And that's just what I got. Hope...

...for someplace better, someplace, I don't know...

...that's cleaner and shinier and...

Hell, if I gotta eat catfish heads all my life...

...can't I have them off a plate once?

In a red silk dress.

When there's girl enough on me

To wear one

And then someday

With all my might and all my main

I'm gonna learn to read and write

I'm gonna see what there is to see

So if you go from nowhere On the road to somewhere

And you meet anyone you know It's me

I'm gonna move from place to place

And find a house with a golden stair

And if that house is red

And has a big brass bed

I'm livin' there

Well, now.

Who do you think you are?

I could be anybody. Even a queen if I wanted to be.

We'd just been wrestlin' With a queen, if you please

Who'd recognize her With all that dirt on her knees

And with her mophead And all them toes

And that contraption She calls her nose

A queen can never be queen Without any throne

So here's the fanciest throne That you'll ever own

Here is your scepter Here is your crown

Now won't you please sit down

Howdy there, partner.

Look at me! I'm a bird! I can fly!

To show that you know

You gotta show you know You know

I'm gonna learn to read and write

I'm gonna see what there is to see

So if you go from nowhere On the road to somewhere

And you meet anyone you know It's me

I'm gonna move from place to place

And find a house with a golden stair

And if that house is red

And has a big brass bed

I'm livin' there

Why, I ought to...

This place could sure use a woman.

I got Molly.

Of course, she can't cook worth a damn...

...and devil a bit of talent she's got for housekeeping.

But she does her share.

Does most of the hunting and fishing.

Ain't it time somebody told that motherless lass she's a girl?

She hunts and fishes, whistles like a calliope.

And my boys tell me she swears like a bargeman.

Been doing that since she was 3.

She's reached the age for getting into trouble.

Time to marry her off, Shamus.

Marry? Who'd marry Molly?

Well, there must be somebody who doesn't know her.

Whatever happened to that Johnson boy who hung around here a while back?

He tried to show her his pa's hayloft.

She tied a can to his tail and sent him rattling down the road.

That's been the only one.

There's your boys.

Molly, honey! I love you, baby!

You leaving home, Molly?

It's time, Pa.

I've thought it through.

There's nothing for me here.

Here, you're just born...

...and you live and you die.

What more is there, Molly?

Somewhere there's just got to be things to see...

...and do more than what there is here.

I'm gonna marry me a rich man like I Katie Spinner did.

Be careful about the love of money.

Oh, it ain't the money I love, Pa.

It's the not having it I hate.

Somehow I'll get me to Denver, and I'm gonna find me a man...

...with means to put a real roof over our heads...

...a roof that don't leak rain and cold.

I'm leaving at sunup, Pa.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you too, Pa.

It's time I thanked you for pulling me out of the flood...

...and raising me like your own.

I guess I didn't know much about raising a girl.

Could be I done it wrong.

You done fine.

Nobody could've done better.

I'll send for you, Pa. I promise that.

You'll have your own room...

...where you can stay in bed all day with a jug of the best liquor.

I do that now.

Let me give you a word of advice, Molly-girl.

Learn to serve God and a hot breakfast.

And in your search for that roof that don't leak rain...

...beware of men that offer you a roof...

...and forget to mention marriage.

Find yourself a good man...

...a good Irish Catholic...

...and settle down.

The man I marry's got to be more than just Irish Catholic.

What more can a man be?

Well, if he's gonna crawl in next to me...

...he's gonna have to be the richest Irish Catholic next to the Pope!

Howdy!

Howdy, Colorado!

Colorado, my home sweet home

Hear yourself laugh And you laugh a lot more

Gives a man confidence To holler in the mountains

Hey there, Rio

Hey there, Rio Grande

Where else, Rio

Did you learn to roar

Well, I'll tell you

Let me tell you, Rio

Like me, you would be

Only a small time trickle

Without the mountains of Colorado

My home sweet home

A sky full of Rockies For my roof up there

A great golden meadow For my rockin' chair

A claim and a cabin And some breathin' air

Colorado, my home

And here till the Judgment I will stay

Here till the ponderosa walks away

Here where I'm proudest When I hear me say

Colorado, my home

Here's where the silver finds you

Together with the gold That will stick on your shoe

Missouri mules and plain damn fools May leave us for a little

But they'll all come back...

...someday

There ain't Seven Wonders

Only three

The mountains and meadows

Far as a man can see

And somewhere a Rocky Mountain gal For me

Colorado, my home

Colorado...

...my...

...home

How long you been there?

Long enough.

A nice pastime for a grown man.

- Go away. - This here is my land.

You're trespassing.
