The Southern Ten Commandments
Some people have trouble with all those 'shall's' and 'shall not's' in the Ten Commandments.. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms.
So, in middle Tennessee they translated the 'King James' into ' Jackson County ' language.....no joke (It's posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro , TN ). All of it ain't totally correct (but you get the picture).
(1) Just one God
(2) Put nothin' before God
(3) Watch yer mouth
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin'
(5) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(6) No killin'
(7) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal
(8) Don't take what ain't yers
(9) No tellin' tales or gossipin'
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuffNow that's plain an' simple.
Y'all have a nice day!
