What It Was, Was
It was back last October, I believe it was. We was t hold
a tent service in this town.
And we got thar about on Saturday And different ones
of us thought we ought to get us a to eat before
we set up the tent.
And so, we got down off of the truck and followed little bunch of
through this small little bitty patch of woods.
And we come up on a big sign, Get somethin to eat here!
And I up and got me two hot dogs and a big Orange drink.
And before I could take ary mouthful of that food this whole of
come up around me
and got me to where I eat nothin up like
and I dropped my big drink. I did!
Well friends, they commenced to move and they wasnt so
I could do except to 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 pretty soon we come up on a boy.
And he says Ticket, please And I says Friend, I dont a ticket.
I dont know where it is that Im a-goin. I did!
Well he says out as quick as you can.
And I says Ill do erIll around the first chance I get.
Well, we kept on a-movin through there and pretty soon
got where it was they was agoin because 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 at one another acrosst this purty little
green cow pasture! Well, they was! And had took
and drawed lines all over it and drove posts in it and
I dont know what all! And I looked there and I seen
five or six convicts a-runnin up and down and whistles!

And I looked down there and I seen these pretty girls
a-wearin these little short dresses and a-dancin around,
an so I set down and thought Id see it was that was
happen. I did!
And about the time I got set good, I looked down there
and I seen thirty or forty men a-runnin out of one end
of a great big down there! They did!
An everybody where I was got up and hollered!
And that time thirty or forty come a-runnin 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 a-hollerin for?
he whopped me on the back 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 there again, I seen that them men
had got in two little bitty down there.
They hadreal close together--and voted! They did!
They and elected one man apiece.
And them two men come out in the middle of that cow
and shook hands like they seen one another in a long time.
And then a come over to where they was a-standin an he
took out a quarter and they to odd-man right there!

It was that both of them men wanted this funny-lookin
little punkin to with! They did, and I know friends that they

But anyhow what I was a-tellin was that 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 seen that
the awfullest fight that Id seen in my life!
I did! They would run at one another and kick one
and throw one down and stomp on one another
and grind feet in one another and I dont know what all!
And just as fast as one get hurt theyd tote him off
and run on!
Well, they done as long as I set there but pretty soon
this boy that had said please he come up to me and
he Friend, youre gonna have to leave because it is that
