330
years it'd
days been seven mighty good
{X}
{NS}
things have been mighty good. I don't know how they'll come out
I guess I expect it'll be as high this fall as it's
been be maybe
maybe a little higher than it were last year.
You know they're trying to make
{X}
put 'em down to
people are says
get so high you can't eat it but
the farmers are not feeding 'em
they hadn't
they're not they they're not jumped up nothing like
{X}
{X}
time he feeds 'em and
you don't get calves every year
sometimes they
{X}
Now you
{C: tape overlaid}
farm and feed 'em
{X}
well you don't got anything to live on you know.
{C: tape overlaid}
A lot of folks don't realize that. That ain't just all free.
But that
yelling
{X}
came off
that's all the farmers
he got to take a have expenses
{X}
{C: tape overlaid}
lots of time you lose some.
{C: tape overlaid}
life
lose some, have trouble with 'em. {C: tape overlaid}
That's what I'm planning on
{D: we get seventy-three more years}
{C: tape overlaid}
to have all these cows
{X}
{X}
{X}
{X}
sixty-two then and
I thought she
{X}
maybe
{C: tape overlaid}
and a big cow maybe wouldn't live
Brush.
Use one of those?
{X}
Gonna gonna
I
see I
if I was gonna use one of 'em I'd say I was gonna
I reckon
just gonna
comb my hair I reckon.
That's what I'd say, wouldn't I?
Groom?
To brush it.{NS}
Strap.
Cartridges.
{X}
I've never had my hands on one
once but one in my life.
But uh
I do know that the
you have cartridges you put in 'em
See-saw?
See-sawing I guess.
{C: tape overlaid}
The plank goes round and round?
Well that would
be a
{C: tape overlaid}
merry go round I guess.
Well I don't know.
{X}
Not that's going around.
Huh?
Flying jenny.
I never heard of it.
Swing
{NW}
Scuttle.
Coal scuttle.
What runs through the stove to the chimney?
Uh heat.
{X}
say.
Well you'd have to have a pipe to
to carry
you know the smoke and heat
out
It'd go in the flue.
I guess most of 'em do you know
{X}
to cut a hole through the
mantle at
mantle and you put pipes in 'em
when they go to
put 'em in the home but
most of 'em just have flues you know, but
{X}
and you run the pipe up
{X}
That's a wheelbarrow.
Grindstone.
Well you'd have you'd have you could use a
file a whet rock.
Gr- oil it.
Grease it.
Had to grease
I {X}
I'd say it's messed up
my
Greasy.
Mighty greasy.
Kerosene.
Yeah, coal.
I've seen it. I never did make one. I've saw 'em.
People that make 'em and
{D: go out}
{X}
you know
camping like and have 'em.
{D: and it'll burn right on}
burn till it burns every drop of that
kerosene out.
Mm-hmm.
I don't
I don't know what they called it but they just stuck a piece of cloth
and uh
wasn't too wide, stuck it down in there and
got
just the
kerosene on it, stuck a match to it
it went to burning, it just
burned nearly burned every drop of it out.
You could
you can take that
do the same thing about putting
something out
to draw
you know to
draw the water out of a
can or something.
Start it
{X}
pipe
and he'd run every drop of it out.
{D: siphon}
{C: tape overlaid}
A lot of gas, I imagine
{X}
had
run out of gas, I look it I put
{X}
I never did see nobody now
{D: hoping to go}
get mine, I had did have ones that
eighteen below zero that
when I was working
tobacco business in Franklin
somebody stole
{X}
never got home.
{X}
{X}
I put gas in there today.
I wouldn't fill it up
then like I do now but
I'm afraid somebody would get stuck down there you know
where I was working.
And just
{X}
{X}
{X}
I was trying to get home, and everybody's
cars and {X}
trucks had froze up, and
then the fellow stopped
{X}
came off to get his son
said he was drunk awful as
{X}
fellow's house
And I told 'em I says
oh Mister Bob I been
two or three hours trying to get home, I said
I can't go. I can't get home.{C: tape overlaid}
That's when all my children
{X}
and I told 'em I
I'm going home my wife and babies I said
so they got another fellow to
get him
go get him {C: tape overlaid}
and he {C: tape overlaid}
{X}
two minutes but all that
{X}
{D: you ever played}
{X}
little round rings on
{X}
It's{C: tape overlaid}
it's right interesting.
And there's a bunch of 'em
{X}
and some of 'em playing
{X}
and this
{X}
walked in there
told 'em call the sheriff she just killed this nigger man, well this
boy
his son was there.
{X}
they they doubted it
they just didn't think she had she had
{X}
And some of 'em said
they
{X}
hear it and just
tried to get out of the way you know
so
they called the sheriff, boy did that{C: tape overlaid}
{B}
{X}
my brother-in-law
{D: wanted to sue them}
and he called the sheriff
{C: tape overlaid}
{D: and she left and went towards Holly Grove}
{C: tape overlaid}
didn't go very far she
she was moaning and groaning and
carrying on
{D: bloody}
she turned and came back then started back told us
where she came from over there
due west
and the sheriff and them
picked up this little piece of
{X}
{X}
like that
but she told 'em to call come and get her she'd killed him.
I I think she
{C: tape overlaid}
he was
had been drinking I reckon really drunk
didn't know what he was doing
She shot a
{X}
big hole
{X}
It's just a
{X}
they have a
{X}
like pool
{X}
you probably have played a little pool
well it has
four corners
pockets
and uh {C: tape overlaid}
you played
you can play
{X}
{C: tape overlaid}
playing
and that
one of 'em sits on one side like they had a
{X}
here
{X}
you you have
shoot yours
and these two over here
{D: at least}
you try to
and {C: tape overlaid}
I might
accidentally
a lot of 'em did it on purpose
course
try to
{X}
knowing where you could
shoot
{X}
bank
against that line
behind the line
you would have to
{X}
kick at 'em try to kick 'em in
And that's
{X}
I never could learn to do that
I never
but I
I've seen a lot of 'em kick 'em in there just
perfect.
{X}
just little round
wooden
they have some now plastic
I see it some of 'em make 'em out of plastic
little round wooden
{D: ring like}
out of wood
they're light.{C: tape overlaid}
Then you have a toy{C: tape overlaid}
that's white
and these
{X}
will be
either
one one
half would be red, {C: tape overlaid}
the other would be green.
And you'd choose what kind you want
and
I maybe want {C: tape overlaid}
to choose first
say well I'll take red
and shoot uh
if he makes the red he whoever makes
green you'd say well I'll take green
then he misses and you shoot, you see.
It's really interesting
all they had
they
there sure have been a lot of
{X}
down here in this country
Had a lot of fun out of it.
Lots of fun.
Hadn't shot any in years and years.
{C: tape overlaid}
But we shot {C: tape overlaid}
{X}
ever I was growing up

platform up high where you could
stand up and shoot going
{X}
bench
set this

But that thing that
boy could load it you know he'd just
{X}
set 'em down like that and I'd go
{X}

course they have to use
some
a lot of stuff they get

others.
Most of the men that I
always heard of just
{D: sure the clothes}

That's where you
talking about
well I'll tell you about you know
{X}
families they used to
I never did tell you about how you used to come way back years when I was small
they'd come in wagons.
And they'd
the meeting started on Friday morning, they'd look to
come in on Thursday.
And they'd put up
at a
{D: hot second place}
and you'd get the mules
wagon now and usually
they'd try to put up close enough where they could walk.
To church.
Cuz we didn't have any cars in those days.
And very few of 'em had buggies.
Back when I'm talking about when I was really small.
And
they'd load up
had chairs just like we
plain you know
straight chair
they'd just set that in that wagon and they'd ride in there setting in that all the women had their little
children in there and
that that used to
tickle me to death.
{X}
{D: farm}
they had a meet big meeting like that and
{D: break out their horses}
all broke loose run off
tore the buggies all to pieces and we had an awful time, I'll never forget it.
That's been a long time ago. And we had a hailstorm
{X}
since we were married
children were small
we thought it was gonna tear the house down.
He he got oh he got half knee deep in it outside
{C: tape overlaid}
stayed on there for about two days
{X}
ground was just white.
{X}
snow.
And
second was it second Sunday in June?
Or second Saturday in June I mean
wasn't it?
Second Saturday in June.
That stuff just covered up the ground
and stayed that way
it didn't melt for about two days
I never seen that
and the pieces some of 'em were that big you know
they tore out windows, tore the
church down church down here blew here
{X}
it took every window they had out of that church now
worse in places than it was in others
Some places you didn't have very much.
Land?
Good.
Rich?
Uh{C: tape overlaid}
Well it's just
fertile I guess you'd call it.
Real fertile land.
Bottom land.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Some of the best.
Usually course
{X}
too wet water
stand
get where the water could
stand on some of it, it
it wouldn't be too good. Course it
would drowned out, maybe you know if we had too much rain like we're having this year.
Land
{X}
all of it's good land
but this year
if you have that
boys cutting hay
up there in the bottom of mine
this morning he's talking about it and they got
{X}
water
didn't have much rain
it's
stands on it you know, going to just
{X}
{X}
{X}
{X}
had a terrible time getting out.
That's course that water just
just
{X}
the land you know
{X}
dry not too much rain
it'll soak up so much you know.
{D: never did have so much trouble before, haven't had so much rain in years}
{C: tape overlaid}
{D: bit of trouble but now this}
first time we ever had
{X}
{C: tape overlaid}
but uh
but the other way, that's the
kinda thing you want if you're going out to buy some
good
{D: tenable}
{X}
land you want
bottom land. Low land.
Not not no hill.
{X}
{C: tape overlaid}
{X}
but it's hard to work.
{X}
steep
and there's places
between here and up on in the mountains
it's straight up
I went I never have been up in there
but one time in my life.
Wasn't any interstates then.
We went to this North Carolina
about it I told you you know what
And uh we went there to see a friend lives out there in North Carolina.
And honestly
I believe you could almost look down some people's chimneys.
{X}
I never seen nothing like it, just uh
it just
{X}
this then
uh they
they had
built
ways for
to
pass those trailer trucks.
But they said way back there you
few he told her a few
{X}
{D: back}
there wasn't any way if you got behind one going up one of those mountains
you just had to stay behind it till you got on the top you know.
He couldn't get into
but now
later
{X}
when we went through
they had places where that trailer would
pull over and let you come on by.
And you know there must have been something have to go up in
steep places
{X}
course you
you've been over there to the mountains, haven't you?
Between here and Asheville?
Asheville?
North Carolina?
Some of the worst ones I ever seen in my life.
{X}
couldn't believe that there
any any kinda here in the world.
{X}
two
they still got interstates but I think
they still
{X}
now they
make make they can make a lot
{X}
of course
You get ice
{C: tape overlaid}
scares 'em
We're thinking about going out there this
hope to go maybe
sometime this summer.
{X}
{D: she knows you}
I never have seen
{D: Carolina after that time}
everybody
but since then I've been to
I been to Florida
fishing
{X}
never go no more
You ever get seasick ride out on a big boat
get seasick?
{C: tape overlaid}
Oh I'd like to die.
{X}
three hours on there and I think it's about
{D: twenty-eight or -nine}
like it's dead
{D: scattered out just like}
they wanted me to go down under the water, down in the bottom
said it'd be better, lot of 'em did when I first got sick they were gonna take me down in there
I won't go down under that water.
way down under in the bottom of that boat.
I
I needed the air.
All the air I could {C: tape overlaid}
get.
About to die.
Just vomit and vomit and vomit
get
just a little bit better.
And that thing fall off another hole that boat
And
could see the water cover slap up
{X}
just pure water over top of it
then get finally
{D: pull out}
{NW}
{X}
one hole after another
{X}
had several people tell me they'd carry me
free of cost if I'd just go with 'em. I'll never go never worry about me going back out on that
{D: wicked}
ocean
not no especially that
them storms
they just
hit you too quick
Oh
they stopped everybody over
there. They wouldn't let anybody go after {C: tape overlaid}
they got everybody off of it that {C: tape overlaid}
that night
they said I was white as a cloth
when I got off stepped off that boat I guess I was
{D: I said we took a hard walk}
I know that, I never have
oh I did
didn't eat nothing at all all day you know, and vomiting
{X}
{C: tape overlaid}
when you just get sick you just feel like you're gonna die, that's all.
And I wouldn't have cared much if I did I don't reckon.
Fish ain't worth it. I like to fish a little, catch 'em, I like to eat 'em, but
sure don't go back out there try to get any more fish.
{D: no buy stuff}
try to
you know if it didn't make you sick you'd you'd have a big time.
Sitting out there fishing, catching those fish just as fast as throw it in there.
I caught two or three
before I got
{X}
but I never did come up
my friends some boys from Alabama and I told 'em I said I'm gone
take 'em up
real quick
{NS}
he said no {NS}
{X}
I said no this is all it for me, I
I ain't gonna be able to fish any more, I can see that now.
But I finally got that boy one of them boys to tell you I don't know which one I want left or right of 'em
one of 'em took we just stand around there
boat you know fishing over the side.
{C: tape overlaid}
Uh
we
I uh I'd say yeah uh
kind of just a
pasture land to would be kinda
a wasteland like wouldn't be
too good of land.
What I'd call it.
Well it'd just
drowned out
stuff you know you just couldn't
make anything, it'd be
just
what what what you mean now what you call that kinda land?
It would be
Got water on the ground?
Be a pond.
Yeah.
Be more like a pond.
M- m- you said marsh?
Soft and
boggy
{X}
if something got out in it you'd just
{X}
{D: it'd mar up}
you know, thick up
{C: tape overlaid}
{C: tape overlaid}
Well
uh
mine is phosphate land here

World of phosphate, and a lot of it is
country is rich black dirt.
But uh then there's a lot of dirt
{C: tape overlaid}
{X}
Which dirt?
Well it it it's uh
I don't know what you would call it.
Rich land.
New ground I guess, call it new land.
I just
land that it was it'd be
you just had it cleared up
would be rich
you know, it'd just be
new ground like.
cleared up you know you'd clear it
{X}
nowadays now
you used to dig. You used to have to cut with an axe and
saws and
{X}
and stuff but now
they have dozers and they just people just
clears up these thickets and things

in land just like the
first thing you ever saw and it
would got to be rich you know, there's
been there for centuries with all those leaves falling on it and rotting in it
and
{X}
we we call it
rich land
that's what I'd call it.
{X}
Loam?

buy?
No, I haven't ever heard of it.
Uh

Draining.
Pumping it, either one.
{C: tape overlaid}
little little things do what?
Dig? Trench.
Mm-hmm.
To drain it.
That's a
a
oh
levee, levee
We would call 'em levees.
Big gulley's washed.
Wouldn't be

but you cut it
I believe they have levees.
{X}
course the rain
floods and all
wash it out a gully

Ravine.
{D: I've never heard of that}
Creek.
{D: spring branches}
Well they're the smallest
the creek is where there's a lot of
spring branches in
emptied into it and runs you know
spring branches like take mine, I got
spring branches all over the
place here.
And uh
got two big ones down here now one of 'em
{D: that I told you the other day about}
{X}
house and the other one's on the other side.
And they just run off
they just run on right down here and there's a lot more comes and meets 'em and there
there
all kinds
springs around through the neighborhood
and I call that the creek.
Then gets in to be a creek you know.
Quite a few of 'em get
together.
And then they go on down, a lot of these
creeks run in
{X}
direction going
south to Duck River.
Line we got a line back over here about uh
two and a half
three miles
before Duck River ridge
all the water falls on this side
goes in Harpeth river
And then the then it goes on in to Cumberland.
All the water over there goes into Duck River.
{C: tape overlaid}
course now that's funny it's uh
{D: fine line}
through the
Duck River about two and a half three miles
Duck River ridge we call it.
And all that side goes to Duck River and other side goes to Harpeth River.
That's right funny
water runs
here our water runs due north.
Towards Harpeth river.
Over there
it runs due south.
Toward uh
just just
it just
a little
above me I couldn't remember
{D: understand}
in my life
why would it split
separate down in one
water go that way
and right
{X}
the fish in there
And the drain water come rain it all down this way
{X}
{X}
{X}
runs down the other way.
And I guess it
I've seen a
in Kentucky
a river
{C: tape overlaid}
run go off in the ground
I forget the name of it, what they called it, but I been to it.
When I was young.
{C: tape overlaid}

keep in mind
{X}
but this
{X}
and it's real
stream of water
and just runs off goes off in the
{D: grave}
holes like big
terrible big hole
and it just goes off in there just
you know which
racket it makes going in there.
And
I think the silt comes out
way off somewhere else maybe
but I don't know how far.
I wouldn't want to live around there.
Be afraid I'd get get off in there.
I never did see nothing like that happen before.
And they got a name for it, but I couldn't tell you what it is, what they called it some time
river
Hidden river I believe or something or other they called it.
