The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments 

(posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, TN.)

Some people in Tennessee 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...

(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' cept fer hunting
(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.
