Harmony Lane (1935)

Clarence Muse: Old Joe

Quotes 

• Old Joe : Mr. Stephen, how come you waste so much time down with us poor folk?

  Stephen Foster : [Smiles]  Oh, I'm trying to steal a song out of your hearts.

  Old Joe : Well, maybe this old congregation of mine has got a song in their hearts 'cause they sure ain't got nothin' in their pocketbooks.

• Old Joe : Are you figuerin' on writing some more songs?

  Stephen Foster : Uh huh. Sometime I'm gonna write one about you.

  Old Joe : About me? Lordy, Lordy.

  [laughs] 

  Old Joe : Mr. Stephen, that would be most elegant. Yessir.
