What It Was, Was
It was last October, I believe it was. We was a-goin t hold
a tent service in this town.
And we got thar about dinnertime on Saturday And ones
of us thought we ought to get us a to eat before
we set up the tent.
And so, we got off of the truck and followed this little bunch of
people through small little bitty patch of woods.
And we come up on a big sign, Get somethin to eat here!
And I went up and got me two hot and a big Orange drink.
And before I take ary mouthful of that food this whole raft of
people up around me
and got me to where I couldnt eat up like
and I dropped my big drink. I did!
Well friends, they commenced to move and wasnt so much
I could do to move with em.
Well, we commenced to go through all of doors and gates
and I dont know what all, and I looked up one of em
and it says North Gate, and we kept on through there,
and pretty soon we up on a young boy.
And he Ticket, please And I says Friend, I dont have a ticket.
I even know where it is that Im a-goin. I did!
Well he says Come out as as you can.
And I says Ill do erIll turn around the chance I get.
Well, we kept on a-movin through there and pretty soon
got where it was that they was agoin because they
and I could see good. I could!
And what I seen was whole raft a people a-settin on these
two banks and a-lookin at one another acrosst this little
green cow pasture! Well, they was! And somebody had
and drawed white lines all it and drove posts in it and
I dont know what all! And I looked down and I seen
five or six a-runnin up and down and a-blowin whistles!

And then I looked down there and I these pretty girls
a-wearin these bitty short dresses and a-dancin around,
an so I set and thought Id see what it was that was
happen. I did!
And about the I got set down good, I looked down there
and I seen or forty men come a-runnin out of one end
of a great big down there! They did!
An everybody I was a-settin got up and hollered!
And about that time thirty or come a-runnin out of the
other end of outhouse and the other bank full
got up and hollered!
An I asked feller that was a-settin beside me, I says
Friend, what is it that a-hollerin for?
Well he me on the back and he says
Buddy, a drink!
Well, I says I believe I will another big Orange.
An I got it and set down.
An when I got back there again, I seen that them men
had got in two little bitty bunches there.
They hadreal together--and they voted! They did!
They and elected one man apiece.
And them two men come out in the middle of cow pasture
and shook hands like hadnt seen one another in a long time.
And a convict come over to where they was a-standin an he
took out a quarter and they commenced to right there!
did!
Well, after a while I seen it was that they was a-odd-mannin for.
It was that bunches-full of them men wanted this funny-lookin
little punkin to play with! They did, and I know that they
couldnt-a eat it they kicked it the whole evenin
and it busted!
But anyhow what I was a-tellin was that both bunches-full
that and one bunch got it an it made the other bunch
just as mad as they be and friends I seen that evenin
the awfullest fight that Id seen in my life!
I did! would run at one another and kick one another
and throw one down and stomp on one another
and their feet in one another and I dont know what all!
And as fast as one would get hurt theyd tote him off
and run on!
Well, they done that as as I set there but pretty soon
boy that had said Ticket please he come up to me and
he says Friend, youre gonna to leave because it is that
you dont have a ticket. And I says Well, an I got up
an left. An I dont know, friends, until this day it was that they
was a-doin down there, but I have studied about it, and I its
some kindly of a contest where they see bunch-full of them
men can take that punkin an run from one end of cow pasture
to the othern without either gettin knocked
