P.L. Brown: Joe

Quotes 

• Joe : [referring to Magnolia]  She oughta ask Ol' River what he thinks. He knows all 'bout dem boys. He knows all about everything.

  [singing] 

  Joe : Dere's an ol' man called the Mississippi / Dat's the ol' man dat I'd like to be / What does he care if the world's got troubles? / What does he care if the land ain't free./ Ol' Man River / Dat Ol' Man River / He mus' know sumpin' / But don't say nothin' / He jus'keeps rollin' / He keeps on rollin' along.

• [last lines] 

  Cap'n Andy Hawks : [while Joe and chorus are singing the last verse of "Ol' Man River"]  If you go up front, you'll find a new water barrel. It ain't much different from the old one.

  Magnolia Hawks : Look Gay, there's Kim!

  [Kim and Ravenal embrace] 

  Joe : [singing with chorus]  But Ol' Man River,/ He jes' keeps rollin' along!
