hillbilly

[Music]

create a Blake good morning Mr Clement

how's everything done Army Reserves much

better now that I've almost finished my

work on that Civil w*r movie oh

I understand Grant and the youngins

jumped right in the middle of that

battle scene you would direct and I'm

awful sorry about that it was just a

rehearsal besides granny did me a big

favor when she captured General Grant

yes he's the producer's cousin and a

terrible actor

well uh

I'd appreciate it if you didn't let on

the granny that he was just an actor you

see she thinks she captured the real

Ulysses S Graham he didn't tell her

well no you see they had a few sips out

of granny's jug and he wound up thinking

he really was Ulysses

before it was over he apologized for

Vicksburg give back Richmond and

promised to sh**t Sherman in Atlanta

[Music]

it was in his office that I heard

General Grant planning the attack on the

Culpepper Plantation and he was giving

them advice well granny that was my job

I was uh he was at rant yes you see I am

only a colonel and when the general

asked me for advice it was my job to

give it to him now don't go putting the

blame on Julie Julie

uh General Grant

you liked him

the 150 year old cigar smoking whiskey

drink in South scorching carpet bag and

Yankee General

he ain't a bad short

yes sir oh Grant seemed like a pretty

decent sort of fella I paroled him

didn't I this has been an interesting

slide on the Civil w*r what w*r uh he

meant to say the w*r between the states

it was

you're right granny but I'm sure that

Colonel Blake didn't come over here to

talk about that let's go inside as a

matter of fact I came over to talk about

Jethro joining the Army Reserve

y'all go and sit down I'll see can I

find Jethro thank you he's a fine boy

colonel strong as Ox good Scrapper

that's why I want him you want to see

him at the Battle of the Culpepper

Plantation

the Yankee Cannon single-handed took a

whole g*n crew stacked them up like corn

would yes I know I was there directing

the bat

don't forget I was only taking orders

you were given orders I know General

Grant wouldn't have started that Ruckus

he learned his lesson when the South

whooped him the first time

on you golden that poor old man into

another hopeless Uprising

and he said yes I was going to town good

I don't want him joining the Army

Reserve know-how why not cause it was

them that was trying to get the north to

secede again no wait a minute I'm gonna

write my congressman about it too well

no no no no please please don't do that

I give you my word the Army Reserve had

nothing to do with Grant's attack I'll

believe that when I hear it from Grant

okay okay you'll hear it from the

general himself but just don't write

your Congressman please I'll see you

later

there was no call to jump the colonel

like that you seemed like a real nice

fella besides he's a good friend of Mr

drag to you that cinches it any friend

of General Beauregard Drysdale ain't to

be trusted General Mo regards bulletin

board the coward of Culpepper Plantation

whatever are you talking about he comes

strutting in here wearing the gray

bragging how he'd like to meet Grant

face to face saying that his body would

form a living shield to protect the

flower of Southern Womanhood

but when the sh**ting started he turned

Taylor and run maybe he seen you didn't

need him he was just a small Skirmish

nobody heard nobody hurt men was Fallen

like flies I shot General Grand off his

horse myself if he hadn't been drinking

for 150 years and it k*lled him what you

mean

I hit him in that cast iron level

this is the flower of Southern Womanhood

I am taking my money out of your bank

if I heard a noise

[Music]

a 50 should do it

General Grant what happened Ronnie's

drawing your money out of my bank and

it's your fault

whose idea was it to dress me up in a

Confederate General's uniform

idea was it for me to lead the charge

whose idea was it to retreat yours there

you see I'm the only one around here

whoever comes up with an idea

I've just come up with another one oh

granny will love me what is it I'm

taking Grant's picture off the 50 Bill

and replacing it with Robert E Lee

[Music]

hello I just got your call I'm back in

the picture huh if you'll do me one

little favor name it go talk to Granny

forget it oh what's the matter that

little woman is dangerous she Wings you

with a shotgun and finishes you off with

her job

she's mad at me she blames the Army

Reserve for that battle of the Culpepper

Plantation tell her it was you tell her

it was a movie then she'll really be mad

the proudest moment of her life was when

she captured General Ulysses S Grant

after she shot me full of lady fingers

I'm still picking crumbs out of my back

the she threatens to ride her

Congressman the newspapers will have a

field day that is your problem I'm not

going near that nutty little brother

well think of the headlines hillbilly

millionaire ambush's Army Reserve

captures General Grant

but I have an instant replay on that

ambush's Army Reserve captures General

Grant no no no they're the flip side

hillbilly millionaire that's the tune it

sing some more well my friend Drysdale

tells me that Clampett is worth about 60

or 70 million dollars and a fourth of

that is Granny's oh let me have that

dear little lady's address you'll go

well after all she captured and paroled

me as An Officer and a Gentleman it is

my duty to report

[Music]

good to see you Mr Clinton

and here is my charming conqueror the

beautiful fell of the b*ttlefield oh

what did we interrupt your lunch oh my

goodness that's Jethro's pacifier

Blake wants to talk to Jethro so why

don't you take the general goal or

setting a party on her oh that's that's

an excellent idea General I believe you

were going to explain that the attack on

the Culpepper Plantation was your idea

not the Army reserved oh that's true

true I am to blame I am entirely at

fault now don't go to Fault In Yourself

let's put it this way you still have a

purse

you ain't never won a battle against the

South

the crew boy is all yours uh you'll make

your Dandy Soldier oh I know that I saw

him in action all he has to do now is

take the written test well I won't be no

hell to a stepper like Jethro he's at 12

years of school and graduated highest in

his class I'm embarrassed to even ask

him to come down and take our simple

little test what's he working on oh a

little problem granny gave me Lambert

whooped in no time at all boy takes

deciphering like a mule to millet

the colonel what you're saying oh out of

wire fence running from the battle

flanking movement that's true you got

the fastest moving flanks I ever seen

I left the scene of battle only to

pursue the enemy what anime

our common fool that Arts fiend General

Ulysses S Grant

and chasing him night and day across

burning deserts over snow-capped

mountains through rage and rivers until

at last we had our rendezvous with death

grave unmarked and unmourned though

surely wounded I made my way back to the

bank to erase from our national currency

The Last Vestige of his evil continents
