What It Was, Was
It was back last October, I believe it was. We was a-goin t
a tent in this college town.
And we got about dinnertime on Saturday And different ones
of us thought we to get us a mouthful to eat before
we set up the tent.
And so, we got down off of the truck and followed this little of
people through this small bitty patch of woods.
And we come up on a big sign, says Get to eat here!
And I went up and got me two hot and a big Orange drink.
And before I could take ary mouthful of that food whole raft of
come up around me
and got me to where I couldnt eat nothin up
and I my big Orange drink. I did!
Well friends, they commenced to move and they wasnt so
I do except to move with em.
Well, we commenced to go through all kinds of and gates
and I know what all, and I looked up over one of em
and it says Gate, and we kept on a-goin through there,
and soon we come up on a young boy.
And he says Ticket, please And I Friend, I dont have a ticket.
I dont even where it is that Im a-goin. I did!
he says Come out as quick 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 because they parted
and I see pretty good. I could!
And what I was this whole raft a people a-settin on these
two banks and a-lookin at one another this purty little
green cow pasture! Well, they was! And had took
and drawed white lines all over it and posts in it and
I dont know all! And I looked down there and I seen
or six convicts a-runnin up and down and a-blowin whistles!
was!
And then I looked there and I seen these pretty girls
a-wearin these little bitty short and a-dancin around,
an so I set and thought Id see what it was that was
happen. I did!
And about the time I got set down good, I looked down
and I seen or forty men come a-runnin out of one end
of a great big outhouse there! They did!
An everybody where I was got up and hollered!
And about that time thirty or forty come out of the
other end of that outhouse and the bank full
got up and hollered!
An I asked this feller that was beside me, I says
Friend, what is it that theyre for?
Well he whopped me on the and he says
Buddy, a drink!
Well, I says I I will have another big Orange.
An I got it and set down.
An when I got back down there again, I that them men
had got in two little bitty down there.
hadreal close together--and they voted! They did!
They voted and one man apiece.
And them two men come out in the of that cow pasture
and shook like they hadnt seen one another in a long time.
And then a convict come over to they was a-standin an he
took out a quarter and they commenced to odd-man 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! did, and I know friends that they
couldnt-a eat it they kicked it the whole evenin
and it busted!
But anyhow what I was a-tellin was both bunches-full wanted
that thang and one bunch got it an it made the other
just as mad as they be and friends I seen that evenin
the awfullest fight that Id ever in my life!
I did! would run at one another and kick one another
and one another down and stomp on one another
and grind their in one another and I dont know what all!
And just as fast as one would get theyd tote him off
and run on!
Well, done that as long as I set there but pretty soon
this boy that had said please he come up to me and
he says Friend, gonna have to leave because it is that
you dont have a ticket. And I Well, alright an I got up
an left. An I know, friends, until this day what it was that they
was down there, but I have studied about it, and I think its
some of a contest where they see which bunch-full of them
men can take punkin an run from one end of that cow pasture
to the othern either gettin knocked down
er steppin in !
