Newt: Gus, are you sure the Captain is my father?
Gus McCrae: Yep, he is.
Newt: He ain't never mentioned it.
Gus McCrae: Well, Woodrow ain't much of a mentioner.

This here chune is performed by James McMurtry, who is the son of Larry McMurtry, the author of the Lonesome Dove series. It may be of interest to folk here because the lyrics mention many iconic Oklahoma locations. It may be of even more interest on this forum because there are mentions of BAR rifles, tracer ammo, SKS rifle, Pop's Knife and Gun Store in Tushka (which isn't really in Tushka), Desert Eagle .50 AE, and other fine points.

Gus: "Maybe we just want to sit and watch 'em $h!t" when asked what they were doing with all those cows by the army officer when trying to "requisition" some of them and some of their horses. (Don't think that's in the film IIRC, but it's in the book)

Wanna poke?

Cut the cards?

A man who wouldn't cheat for a poke don't want one bad enough.
