[Lucky Irish Tom]

After looking at the book, monkey scribbles on a piece of paper and gives it to Slim to read to Trinity!

it was from when the colonel found out he was going down to the river


Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John."
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.

Take me back to another morning, to a time so long ago,
When the sweet magnolia blossomed, cotton fields as white as snow.

Catfish John was a river hobo who lived and died by the river's bed,
Looking back I still remember I was proud to be his friend.

Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
Don't be hanging around old Catfish John."
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.

Born a slave in the town of Vicksburg, traded for a chestnut mare,
Lord her never spoke in anger though his load was hard to bear.

Mama said, "Don't go near that river,
Come in the morning I'd always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.

"Ah gots me a cousin what we cawl Catfish.  It ain' 'cause he lahks ta fish, it's 'cause he smails funny!"

here comes Catfish now

[Sod Buster]

<sniff><sniff>
Something stinks......

[Delmonico]

all this talk about catfish gives Delmonico and idea.  With out a word to anyone he saddles Reuben and heads to Dunning.

[Ozark Tracker]

Catfish comes on up to the house with his empty jug and finds one of Trinity's full ones

[Trinity]

Suddenly the jug shatters into a thousands tiny shards.  Trinity is standing FAR away with his rifle.  "Oh no you don', Catfish!!  Ah done smailt ya from over to Steel saht number fahve an' Ah knowed you was up ta no good.  Now git on down offa that porch afore you git mah frien's angry at me!"

[Ozark Tracker]

Catfish runs down off the porch loseing his hat in the rush, monkey gets his hat and takes it over to him, but when Catfish bends down to get it, monkey slaps him over the head with it.

just like he'd seen sherelen do to Trinity.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico makes it to Dunning and catches the eastbound evening train to Omaha.

[Delmonico]

About dawn several wagons loaded with lumber from Minny-soda show up at The Ranch With No Name along with several men with carpenter tools.  They start building a long narrow building west of the house.

[Delmonico]

As the building goes up on The Ranch With No Name, Delmonico arrives in Omaha on the eastbound CB&Q.  He gets a hotel room, a big steak in a resteraunt and then goes shopping.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

The commotion wakes Irish up, he goes down to the kitchen and gets some coffee from the stove.  He steps out on the porch to see what is being built and gets a whiff of a very unpleasant odor.  The dogs aren't around so he hollers, "Trinity, wha'd ya do this time?"  "Smells like ya been wrasslin with a skunk!"

[Ozark Tracker]

Trinity is wandering around where the men are building he keeps picking up a hammer here and a saw there and cut off pieces of lumber, mumbling something about a new still site.

[Delmonico]

The carpenters slap his fingers and send him back to the house.  With the building done on the outside thy start layin' a thick hard maple floor.    Meanwhile Delmonico has finished his shopping for the day and goes to his hotel room for a nap.

[Trinity]

"It weren't mah fault, Ahrish Tom.  Mah cousin Catfish done come ta town ta freeload.  He's down bah tha river now.  Monkey's makin' shore he washes some scent off whal Clea is collectin' the daid fish down straim."

Trinity peers outside, "Oooh!  Them workers is gone.  Ah gotta go git... uh... do somethin'."

Soon, Trinity can be seen riding out of the yard at a brisk clip in the heavily laden buckboard.

[Delmonico]

Trinity drives the buckboard right through the carpenters camp, soon all the wood is back at the constuction site and Trinity is tied up in the back of the buckboard.  In a few minutes he is in the river downstream from Catfish.

[Trinity]

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!"
