Ten Commandments
Some people in the South have trouble with all
those "shalls" and "shall nots" in the Ten commandments.
Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms.
So, some folks in middle Tennessee got together
and translated the "King James" into "Jackson County"
language.... no joke , read on...
The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments (posted on the wall
at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro , TN.)
(1) Just one God
(2) Honor yer Ma &Pa
(3) No tellin' tales or gossipin'
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'
(5) Put nothin' before God
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal
(7) No killin'
(8) Watch yer mouth
(9) Don't take what ain't yers
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff
Now that's kinda plain an' simple, don't ya think?
Y'all have a nice day.!

Re: The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments
