299:  I haven't heard. Now see I- I've heard of crawfish but I've never heard land called crawfish land.
Interviewer:  It's supposed to be the someone said it was {overlaid} is wet land {overlaid} the swamp.
299:  Uh huh well I'm not familiar with that. Maybe there that was like their land like uh we always had some land we called the rocky bottom. We had it on our farm we had a field that over the hill from the house and it was we referred to it as the rocky bottom. And daddy we had corn in it we raised corn and it was next to a stream but it was rocks continually you could never get the rocks out of it.
Interviewer:  Huh
299:  And uh when you hoed {C: tape overlaid} you just continued to hit them rocks. And that was the name of it the rocky bottom. So uh maybe that's why they're crawfish land.
Interviewer:  Well it seemed there were crawfish in the land. Um what would you call a well what are um some of the names of of flowing the flowing water around here?
299:  Well we called them creeks see you some people would say streams or branches but we always called everything a creek that wasn't a lake {NW} or a river. We we always say creeks.

299:  Um I think a stream is being smaller than a creek.
Interviewer:  #1 What about #
299:  #2 Or a branch # or just a branch. You've heard of d- uh there's dry branches and uh that just run when uh when it rains or they they don't have water all the time.
Interviewer:  Is there anything {Overlaid} between the size of a creek and a river?
299:  Uh well to me in my mind I think of a creek as just a small small and a river is larger.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm you don't think of anything in between?
299:  Oh uh in between a creek and a river? I don't. {Overlaid}
Interviewer:  Okay what are all the names of some of the creeks around here?
299:  Round here?
Interviewer:  Or branches or whatever.
299:  Well I think this creek up here is called Caney creek. {NW}

299:  Caney C-A-N-E-Y and course I was born on Grice's creek {NW} and uh then there's a Wells's creek
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm

299:  And uh {NW} Yellow creek out toward my mother's.
Interviewer:  I I was looking on the map for Grice's Creek and I didn't see it.
299:  Well you know I spelled it G-U-I-C-E-S
Interviewer:  Uh huh
299:  and you know you might find it as G-R-I-C-E-S. It G-R-I-C-E-S sounds more like Grice's but the older folk spelled it G-U-I-C-E-S but {C: tape overlaid} pronounced it Grice's.
Interviewer:  Uh huh
299:  So uh I don't know if it would be like that.
Interviewer:  Was that I think I say Yellow Creek.
299:  Well it would be somewhere near yellow creek if it's listed it's a small Grice's creek is a small creek but it does run from one end of that community to the other really. And it runs either into uh it should run either into the Cumberland river down in Cumberland City cause it goes all the way to the to the Cumberland river. {Overlaid} It- it could be that there's another name somewhere between Grice's Creek and Cumberland River it may be it may run into Wells's Creek before it runs into the river. Did you see Wells's Creek or did you not look?
Interviewer:  I'm not sure I I think I remember the name Yellow Creek.
299:  Yellow Creek's a lot larger. It's it's a pretty large creek it has in fact you cross Yellow Creek uh coming into Erin either from Clarksville or Dickson either one. So it's it's a big creek.
Interviewer:  I think I need a bigger map
299:  Oh yeah
Interviewer:  Um what about something that say in a um in a field something real deep and narrow maybe um
299:  A gully {overlaid}
Interviewer:  Okay what's what is that like? How how does it form?
299:  Well usually by uh the gullies I'm familiar with is formed by just uh water. It may be just a big rain and it would just wash 'em out or it might be um that every time it rains water runs through them to uh they just stay there. Everytime it rains they'll be full of water.
Interviewer:  What if you have a little stream at the bottom of it and it's real you know it would be hard to climb down to get to the stream I mean it is real deep.
299:  Well like a water fall type something?
Interviewer:  Well this you know in a field all the sudden it it's just sort of a drop and there's a little stream running at the at the bottom of it. Would you call that a gully or?
299:  I really don't know
Interviewer:  Okay what about um something cut by um rain along the edge of a road?
299:  Now we call those gullies.
Interviewer:  Okay and um okay something you mentioned uh a hill is there um well are there other names for for things similar to to a hill? I mean a little rise in land maybe maybe not as big as a hill or maybe shaped a little differently.
299:  Say a hump {Overlaid} a hump have you ever heard that?
Interviewer:  What what's that?
299:  Well uh just a a mound
Interviewer:  Uh huh
299:  Either a mound or uh hump H-U-M-P. {NW}
Interviewer:  Okay
299:  Ah that's all I can think of anything smaller than you know a hill.
Interviewer:  Okay say if you want to open a door you'd take hold of the door?
299:  Knob
Interviewer:  Do you use that word about land?
299:  Uh like {NW} door knob?
Interviewer:  Uh yeah just knob
299:  Knob Oh yes you could um.
Interviewer:  What I mean do do you use that?
299:  Uh a knob could mean a hill yes it could.
Interviewer:  Is okay um and something much much bigger than a hill would be a?
299:  Mountain
Interviewer:  Okay and uh the side of the rocky side of the mountain that that drops off real sharp?
299:  Slope
Interviewer:  Okay but what did um okay suppose you have sort of a part over hanging you know and then it just there's a big drop. {Overlaid} How'd you say somebody jumped off?
299:  The ravine
Interviewer:  What's a ravine?
299:  I think of ravine as being two two mountains or two hillsides coming down into a point and down at the bottom is a ravine.
Interviewer:  Is is that {overlaid}
299:  The we're just talking about 'til you could jump from the ledge
Interviewer:  Uh huh
299:  on the side of the mountain.
Interviewer:  What about the word cliff?
299:  Cliff yeah I've heard of that see I just just didn't think of it.
Interviewer:  Wait what do you picture that as?
299:  A cliff?
Interviewer:  Uh huh
299:  Well I sort of think of it as a as a bluff. You know we do have bluffs around here and maybe there be uh rocks protruding out you see sort of makes a cliff that has a long drop off.
Interviewer:  Yeah okay um and um say up up in the mountains where the road goes across in a low place not not really in a you're still up in the mountains you're not down in a valley but just sort of a a place between the mountains a low place between the mountains you'd call that a? {NW}
299:  I can't think of anything.
Interviewer:  Did you ever hear of Cumberland?
299:  Gap yeah mm-hmm
Interviewer:  Use that word gap or?
299:  Yes uh in fact uh course with us it's cattle gaps or uh water gaps.
Interviewer:  What's that mean?
299:  Well a cattle gap is just a uh say you had a uh cattle in the field {C: tape overlaid} and uh or you might some people even have a cattle in the field that's near enough to their house that uh they have to use the same they have to keep the driveway open to go in to and from their house get the cattle or they're in a field that's not actually fenced away from the house lot and they uh cattle gaps are just uh oh they're boards see they're over a sort of a gully or a ditch {C: tape overlaid} and they're they're um boards or two by fours or something and they're just space to enough distance that a cow can't actually walk across them because their hooves see get hung down between these but yet a car can come and go and you don't close them. So that's a cattle gap and a water gap is a so you have um uh a fenced in pasture say with cows or something {C: tape overlaid} and yet a creek runs through {C: tape overlaid} through there and you m- your fencing it in when you come to the creek you'll just fence on across that creek but yet you can it'll be wire stretched across and but the creek actually runs through that wire.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm
299:  And uh that's what you call a water gap. And actually it'll accumulate trash and uh driftwood and everything else because the water sees it running through that wire all the time. {C: tape overlaid} That's sorta what you call a water gap.
Interviewer:  I've never heard that before I've seen what you're talking about.
299:  Say if you have a {C: tape overlaid} pasture that's fenced in and then you have a creek running through that pasture well you'll just keep fencing right on across that creek and then uh lots of times you have to put weights some kind of weights on the bottom of that fence because see that creek goes down lower than the rest of the land on each side so there'll be a space under there that there's a possibility the cows might can get in the creek and even wade out. So they'll put some type of weights I don't know just exactly but we always refer to them water gaps and cattle gaps.
Interviewer:  That's interesting I never I've seen the cattle gaps
299:  Mm-hmm
Interviewer:  I've seen before but
299:  mm-hmm anytime you go to anybody's house you drive through those little
Interviewer:  Yeah
299:  places.
Interviewer:  There was it was sort of a this one was sort of like a pipe
299:  Yeah
Interviewer:  that they had there and I I figured that's what it was for
299:  Uh-huh
Interviewer:  well it seems to me though that the cow could break its leg.
299:  Well they c- they could see that they'd get their legs hung down in there but for some reason as as a rule they won't even try because soon as they see uh I guess they got to keep their feet on level ground and they just don't usually try to even cross.
Interviewer:  That's the cattle gap?
299:  Uh-huh
Interviewer:  Um say if if you were going to um well say if you took a if you were going to chop down a tree or something to you'd make a little V shaped cut you know in the direction you were going to you want it to fall you'd call that cut a?
299:  I know what you're talking about but um all I all I'm thinking of is a groove.
Interviewer:  Uh huh What um what about say if if you just took a um took a piece of wood and just cut in like this and then like that you'd cut out a little?
299:  Wedge
Interviewer:  Uh huh {overlaid} I'm thinking of of the word um notch. #1 Did you ever use that? #
299:  #2 Notch yeah #
Interviewer:  #1 #
299:  #2 # I just couldn't think that's right. You notch logs and you notch. {C: tape overlaid}
Interviewer:  Do you ever use that to refer to this to mean the same thing as a gap in the mountains?
299:  I never have thought of it as such.
Interviewer:  Uh huh okay um a place where boats stop and where freights unloaded?
299:  Well like a boat dock
Interviewer:  Okay any different types? Like say say something on on this river just a a smaller thing um like just big enough for you to get your just a place where you could get the boat into the water and then?
299:  A loading it'd be a loading dock.
Interviewer:  Okay um and types of of roads that you have around here? What do you call most of important roads you have?
299:  Well we call the important roads highways and the others are just roads.
Interviewer:  Okay what um what are they made out of?
299:  Well uh the roads are just uh graveled roads. They're dirt and then they gravel them. And then uh the highways are asphalt or yeah black top we call them.
Interviewer:  What about um that white part of paved roads? Like the sidewalk?
299:  Well concrete but we some are concrete and course I don't guess we actually have any of those do we um except sidewalks maybe.

Interviewer:  Did you ever hear of a a lane?
299:  #1 uh-huh #

Interviewer:  What about say the a road on your farm well something you could drive your truck over to um say from the house to the barn?

Interviewer:  Okay would you use another expression besides that would you say chucked or pitched or? {overlaid}
299:  You could say I pitched a rock but I never do say chucked I never would.
Interviewer:  What do you what does pitched mean?
299:  Usually you think of pitched as pitching a ball in baseball. Y- you pitch a ball or but pitch is really the same thing as throw.
Interviewer:  Yeah okay um
299:  And course a pitch fork is something you used to throw hay. Pitch hay
Interviewer:  I never thought of that just pitching hay. Um but you you think you probably you'd say throw throw the rock at a

299:  Towards
Interviewer:  Okay and um say if you'd gone to town and and just happened to see someone you hadn't seen in a long time and just sort of a coincidence that you happened to see them you'd say well this morning I ran?
299:  Into
Interviewer:  Okay and um if a a little girl's given the same name her mother has you'd say that they named the child?
299:  After her
Interviewer:  Okay and um what kinds of of animals did you have on your property?
299:  Oh well we had cows and mules and horses and hogs pigs and chickens and we had sheep at one time and goats.
Interviewer:  You had goats?
299:  Uh-huh
Interviewer:  What did you have those from?
299:  Well uh we u- uh my brother I had an older brother that just really liked things like that and we have no special reason except uh we kept them as we call it down in the holler we had this uh {C: tape overlaid} road that went down into the holler and it was fenced in like and they just run ran down in that uh that uh fenced in place and they just stripped the trees and the bushes really they all uh they'll strip land of uh sprouts or bushes that you want to get rid of {C: tape overlaid} but they'll also just strip the land of anything it'll just be completely worn out where they are. And we actually one time had one uh barbecue killed but uh as far as having them for any special reason we didn't we didn't milk them or anything like that.
Interviewer:  Is goat meat good?
299:  Well uh they it is or we thought it was then if you knew {NS} uh just how to kill it and dress it and we had to get somebody else that knew they say you have to kill 'em before you actually get 'em stirred up because you know that awful smell that they have and if you stir them up chase them or anything before you kill 'em uh they'll have that meat will hold it strong uh taste.
Interviewer:  You mean they just I heard that goats stink but
299:  Oh they smell terrible.
Interviewer:  They just stink when they get mad or?
299:  Well it's worse I think see they must stink with some kind of smell more when they're they're uh stirred up or mad and because they say before you kill one uh not to stir 'em up because they must {X} makes the meat stronger or something and uh so we actually didn't have them for any reason at all except I do remember having one killed in a and barbecued or something.
Interviewer:  Yeah {overlaid} um in a heard of cattle what do you call the male? {overlaid}
299:  Well that's what I was thinking of last night when you's talking different things. {C: tape overlaid} Well you'd really call it a bull. {C: tape overlaid} But when we were growing up my mother wouldn't let us say bull. {NW} And uh so my grandmother they always had the {C: tape overlaid} the male and she always called him old Ben. {NW} {Overlaid} And believe it or not our mother made us call it a bellering cow. {NW} Why I don't know but really when we were growing up we thought to say bull was cursing if you'd say
Interviewer:  Yeah
299:  it's a bull.
Interviewer:  {NW}
299:  {X} My grandmother also said the old male. So
Interviewer:  Wait she called it the the bell-
299:  The bellering cow B-E-L-L-E-R-I-N-G
Interviewer:  The bellering cow
299:  Uh-huh {NW}
Interviewer:  What about um the male horse was it?
299:  Well this is something I'm not too uh too good on is uh horses and things uh if I understand maybe a horse is a horse or is a mare. But a mare is the female of the horse see. But uh to breed and you say mules they're neither they're without sex I guess you'd say. But to a in order to a my brother he actually uh raised two mules from birth and I think you have to breed them with a jack don't you? You take the mare and breed it with a jack. And it then you come out with a mule maybe. So that's something I'm not too good on.
Interviewer:  Did you ever hear of a Stallion or a stud?
299:  Yeah I've heard of them I know we didn't actually have anything like that.
Interviewer:  Um say if you had these mules you had two of them hitched together you'd call that a?
299:  A team of mules.
Interviewer:  Okay And um say uh a little cow when it's first born?
299:  Calf
Interviewer:  Okay what if it's a female?
299:  It's a heifer.
Interviewer:  Okay and um if it's a male?
299:  Would it be a yearling?
Interviewer:  Okay did you you never I guess if you couldn't say bull you wouldn't say bull calf or?
299:  We didn't usually have 'em uh uh. We just said a little male I guess. {NW}
Interviewer:  Um and the kind of animal that that barks and that?
299:  A dog
Interviewer:  Okay if you wanted your dog to attack another dog you'd tell him to?
299:  Sic 'em
Interviewer:  {NW} okay and um if he's a mixed breed you'd just call him a? {NW} What just what different types of dogs do people have I mean I'm not talking about breeds you know just.
299:  You talking about uh like a coon?
Interviewer:  Yeah
299:  Coon hounds and uh course hounds and collies and shepherds and of course there's there are bulldogs and bird dogs of course bird hounds too. And uh course there's feist they call some feist little feist.
Interviewer:  Is that that little dog?
299:  I think so. and um there's a name for the mixed breed but uh I I just off hand can't think of what it was.
Interviewer:  Do you ever um you know these big dogs some you see on some people's farms sometimes and just huge things?
299:  German police
Interviewer:  Okay what about just a a general name for short haired big dog? Have you ever heard that called anything?
299:  I can't think of anything.
Interviewer:  I was wondering about the word cur?
299:  Yeah
Interviewer:  Do you ever?
299:  Yeah cur dog but I never had to give it thought what kind it was.
Interviewer:  What what do you picture?
299:  A cur dog?
Interviewer:  Yeah {C: tape overlaid}
299:  I still think of the collie or the shepherd I just in my mind.
Interviewer:  Is that is the shepherd long haired or?
299:  No the collie's the long haired I believe shepherd's a little shorter I I think. To me I think a shepherd would come near being it's in some ways it's a little bit like the German police except it has longer hair. The collie has the real long hair I think and the difference in the collie and the shepherd it'd be the collie's ears stand up and maybe the shepherd's droop down I believe maybe.
Interviewer:  Do you ever um see a dog that maybe a shepherd dog that has real light blue eyes would you sort- you know most dogs have dark eyes you know brown or whatever but say a dog that has just real light colored eyes?
299:  No I'm not familiar with it.
Interviewer:  I'd I'd seen one of those and someone said it was a glass eye shepherd.
299:  Well that's something new to me I've never heard of it.
Interviewer:  It's really strange.
299:  Uh-huh
Interviewer:  It was real light blue {overlaid}
299:  Aw
Interviewer:  I thought maybe the dog was blind or something.
299:  Uh-huh Oh that's a new one on me.
Interviewer:  I just wondered if you had ever heard that.
299:  Uh-uh I haven't.
Interviewer:  Um say if you had a real mean dog you might tell someone um you better be careful that dog will?
299:  Bite you
Interviewer:  Okay and you say um yesterday he?
299:  Bit somebody
Interviewer:  Okay and you say the person had to go to the doctor after he got?
299:  Got bit
Interviewer:  Okay and um say if you had a a cow that was expecting a calf you'd say that the cow was going to?
299:  I'd just say have a calf now they say a lot of them say calve
Interviewer:  Uh-huh
299:  or drop a calf but oh I just say have a calf.
Interviewer:  Okay and um you say everyone around here likes to what horses?
299:  Ride horses
Interviewer:  Okay Say uh last year he what his horse everyday?
299:  Rode
Interviewer:  Okay say but I've never?
299:  Ridden
Interviewer:  Okay and if you couldn't stay on you'd say I fell?
299:  Off
Interviewer:  Okay and um say if a little child went to sleep in bed and woke up and found herself on the floor in the morning you'd say well I guess I must've?
299:  Fell off the bed I'd say but it should say falling.
Interviewer:  Okay um and um the things that you put on a horses feet?
299:  Horseshoes
Interviewer:  Okay um have you ever heard of a game similar played with something similar to that?
299:  Oh yes we played horseshoe growing up.
Interviewer:  Yeah do you ever play anything like that only with instead of using the horseshoes using rings?
299:  Uh-huh we'd at one time we got something like that for Christmas you had the two little stops with the little suction things on them that you could even play in the house maybe. And uh you toss these rings just little round rings I don't even know what it was called but it was a {D: lot of} horseshoe we used to play horseshoe all the time.
Interviewer:  Um when you put the the horseshoes on the horse you you nail them to his?
299:  Hoof
Interviewer:  Okay and um you say so you'd call those those parts of the horse's feet you call them his?
299:  hoof
Interviewer:  Yeah you say a horse has four?
299:  Hooves
Interviewer:  Okay um what do you call the female sheep?
299:  Um ewe
Interviewer:  Okay
299:  E-W-E isn't it?
Interviewer:  Okay um and what about the male?
299:  Is it a ram?
Interviewer:  Okay is that word nice to say? {Overlaid}
299:  Yeah I guess so we {NW} we said most anything except bull. {NW} Yeah I guess it is. {NW}
Interviewer:  What did you raise sheep for?
299:  We had to uh had them sheared for their wool and sold the wool. And uh when I was growing up and uh daddy had so much trouble with them that he finally got rid of them. We had a mad dog to get into them
Interviewer:  Oh really?
299:  and bit some and they went mad. And uh
Interviewer:  Huh
299:  Then we had 'em they real bad about getting into uh {C: tape overlaid} I don't know if it's the clover fields or uh alfalfa. It's one kind of it's some kind of hay or something you got and they're bad about getting into it. But when they over eat it they bloat and I've seen just several of them just laying out there cause they have eaten too much and they'll just be bloated and dead. So uh there are so many things that go wrong with sheep 'til daddy finally got rid of them. But we usually used to have sheep sheared and sold the wool.
Interviewer:  You have to watch some of those animals don't you for over eating?
299:  Uh-huh you do.
Interviewer:  They can't throw up or something
299:  Uh uh or something in in fact they claim there is there's a possibility that you can even stick 'em with a knife and let that air escape and they'll even live sometimes.
Interviewer:  Huh
299:  But they'll actually bloat and it could be it's if they get to water right afterwards yeah there are other certain things that a cow if a cow eats certain things
