On My Way Original Broadway Cast of Violet (Ft. Annie Golden, Ben Davis, Emerson Steele, Joshua Henry & Sutton Foster)
[OLD LADY, spoken]
Well I'm going to Nashville. The country music capital of the world? My son lives there and works in the cellophane plant. He's got three little boys not old enough to be in school yet. I don't know how I feel about a house full of children.
[VIOLET, spoken]
It's hot in here…
[OLD LADY, spoken]
I had eight children myself. Stevie, the youngest, I lost him to Korea. Harvey's the only other boy. The girls, of course, are scattered to the winds, they made such beautiful brides… Sorry, dear.
[VIOLET, spoken]
I hope you have a nice visit.
[OLD LADY, spoken]
Oh, it's not a visit. I maybe will move. And I tell you what though, and I know you won't think well of me for it, but I am right tired of children.
[VIOLET]
Look at her skin –
China-white
Tissue-thin
Look how the light
Cuts clear to the bone
Gives her skin such a tone –
I'd take it any day
Praise God for everyone I meet
While I, I am on my way
