“Before you start in fishin you better check your line. Said before you start in fishin, honey, you better check on your line. I’ll pull on yours, darlin, and you best tug on mine.”
Sara backed away from Son, shaking her ungirdled, unbustled fanny and laughing. He strolled back to his spot and she turned to the crowd as the band played the turnaround. She sang the next verse looking directly at me.
“Before you start in fishin
you better check your line.
Said before you start in fishin, honey,
you better check on your line.
I’ll pull on yours, darlin,
and you best tug on mine.”
The crowd roared happily. In my arms, Kyra was shaking harder than ever. “I’m scared, Mike,” she said. “I don’t like that lady. She’s a scary lady. She stole Mattie’s dress. I want to go home.”
