"They gonna drive me. They drivin all our people

I'm an outlaw. Hell, ain't it clear?

Ma Don' worry, Don' worry me"

                                         Ma said, "They might k-they might hurt ya. How'm I..?"

"It don' matter.

I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where-wherever you look.

Wherever they's a fight so     hungry     people can eat, I'll be there.

They's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.

I'll be in the way guys YELL when they're mad an' I'll be there.

Like Casy. I can see him sometimes.

     I been thinking. Get thinkin' a lot when you ain't       movin'    aroun'.

Awright.", he said.

                                                       "Tom,  later you'll come back?"

"Sure. Now go." He guided her toward the edge. “Good-by"

                                                       "Good-by"

Eyes wet and burning,

dripping.

The rain had    p a s s e d

the sky was overcast.

Ma started for home.

Politley, Ma said, "Yes sir,

Together now it's six of us"
