Still Tryin' To Get To Little Rock
 
Hello, Stranger.
Why, hello there, Stranger.  Don't tell me you're still trying to get to Little Rock?
I sure am, and I just wondered if I could cross the river down there?
That river right over there?  I 'spect you can - I saw seven or eight ducks cross it awhile ago.
Well, do you know how deep it is?
No I couldn't tell you that, Buddy, but I can tell you one thing - there's water all the way to the bottom.
 
Hello, Stranger.
Why, hello there, Stranger.
Where's your brother at now?
He's dead now.
Well, what happened to him?
Well, he was a'diggin' a well out here in the yard about two weeks ago ...
Yeah?
He dug it upside down, fell out of it, and broke his neck.
 
Hello, Stranger.
Why, hello there stranger.
I wonder if you could tell me about what time that 9:30 bus leaves town?
That 9:30 bus?
Yeah.
Which way you a'going?
I'm trying to get to Little Rock.
Well, you can't get there from here, Buddy.
Well, why can't ya?
That 9:30 bus don't go that way.
 
Hello, Stranger.
Why, hello there, Stranger.
Do you mind if I ask my self a question and then answer it, too?
I don't mind a'tall, I'd like to hear you do that.
Well, why is it that you don't never see any dirt around the top of a gopher hole?
Well, that's your question - go ahead and answer it.
Because he starts at the bottom and digs up.
Wait a minute, Budd, how does he get down at the bottom to start ?
That's your question - you can answer that.
 
Hello, Stranger.
Why, hello there, Stranger.
Do you know where that road goes to there?
No, Sir, I don't, Buddy.  I've lived here 35 years and it ain't went nowhere yet.
Well, could you tell me how far it is to Little Rock?
I've told you, I don't know that either.
Well, I've just about decided that you don't know nothing.
You're about right, Buddy, but I'll tell you one thing.
What's that?
I ain't lost!
