What It Was, Was
It was back October, I believe it was. We was a-goin t hold
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 and followed this little bunch of
people through this small little bitty of woods.
And we come up on a big sign, Get somethin to eat here!
And I went up and got me two hot dogs and a big drink.
And before I could take ary mouthful of that this whole raft of
people up around me
and got me to where I eat nothin up like
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 doors and
and I dont know what all, and I up over one of em
and it says North Gate, and we kept on a-goin there,
and pretty soon we up on a young boy.
And he says Ticket, And I says Friend, I dont have a ticket.
I dont even know it is that Im a-goin. I did!
Well he 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 everyone
got where it was that they was agoin they parted
and I could see good. I could!
And what I seen was this 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 somebody had
and drawed white lines all over it and drove in it and
I dont know what all! And I looked down and I seen
five or six convicts up and down and a-blowin whistles!

And I looked down there and I seen these pretty girls
these little 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 time I got set down good, I looked down
and I seen thirty or forty men come out of one end
of a great big outhouse there! They did!
An everybody where I was got up and hollered!
And about time thirty or forty come a-runnin out of the
end of that outhouse and the other bank full
got up and hollered!
An I asked this feller that was a-settin me, I says
Friend, what is it that theyre a-hollerin
Well he whopped me on the back and he
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 there again, I seen that them men
had got in two little bitty bunches there.
They hadreal close together--and voted! They did!
voted and elected one man apiece.
And two men come out in the middle of that cow pasture
and shook like they hadnt seen one another in a long time.
And then a convict come over to where they was an he
took out a and they commenced to odd-man right there!
did!
Well, after a while I what it was that they was a-odd-mannin for.
It was that both bunches-full of them men wanted funny-lookin
little punkin to with! They did, and I know friends that they
couldnt-a eat it cause they it the whole evenin
and it busted!
But anyhow what I was was that both bunches-full wanted
that thang and one bunch got it an it made the bunch
just as mad as they could be and friends I that evenin
the awfullest fight that Id seen in my life!
I did! They would run at one another and one another
and one another down and stomp on one another
and their feet 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, they done that as long as I set there but soon
this boy that had said Ticket please he up to me and
he says Friend, youre have 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, this day what it was that they
was down there, but I have studied about it, and I think its
some kindly of a contest where see which bunch-full of them
men can take that punkin an run from one end of that cow
to the without either gettin knocked down
er steppin in !
