MFA words
bluff
man
jumped
over
the
wall
ledge
cliff
oh
yeah
cliff
yeah
that
would
be
better
yeah
cliff'd
be
better
valley
well
you
call
it
a
let's
see
what
would
that
be
uh
the
cumberland
gap
yeah
i
think
i
yeah
i
think
i
heard
of
it
i
don't
know
where
it's
at
located
gap
yeah
i've
heard
gap
spoken
quite
a
few
times
in
my
life
i
guess
it'd
be
a
place
where
they
went
to
this
country
and
would
be
uh
place
to
get
out
of
to
go
out
in
the
wilderness
like
and
get
out
of
it
would
be
out
of
a
into
opening
wouldn't
it
get
out
of
the
gap
i'd
say
i
don't
know
whether
that's
right
or
what
it
would
mean
mean
or
not
but
that
would
be
my
i
imagine
getting
out
of
and
the
opening
where
you
get
out
of
you'd
be
trying
to
like
going
in
the
gap
like
in
in
in
sort
of
enclosure
then
when
you
get
out
opening
you'd
be
out
out
of
that's
what
i
think
about
it
a
little
canoe
you
mean
a
a
great
big
trough
uh
i
just
don't
know
oh
n
yeah
oh
notch
yeah
notch
on
the
there'd
be
a
notch
of
every
man
he
killed
they
had
to
make
he'd
make
a
notch
cut
ain't
that
what
you
talking
about
yeah
i've
heard
mm
hmm
got
one
more
notch
on
my
gun
dock
uh
well
let's
see
i
guess
a
yard
shipping
yard
be
a
kind
of
where
the
where
the
boats
pull
in
and
out
matter
what
oh
i
never
heard
of
that
waterfall
roads
concrete
road
well
they
have
asphalt
roads
and
uh
concrete
roads
and
and
uh
mm
hmm
yeah
blacktop
too
that's
what
we
called
a
called
a
blacktop
that's
what
they
call
this
one
run
up
in
front
of
the
house
here
you
know
it's
a
blacktop
road
and
uh
they
have
to
build
a
little
hole
for
the
one
of
these
interstates
wears
out
you
know
places
do
on
'em
they
have
to
patch
'em
up
way
back
when
i
was
young
they
had
toll
gates
and
all
would
grab
i
told
you
i
remember
'em
building
highway
over
here
and
this
one
over
here
too
west
side
of
us
both
thirty
one
one
thirty
one
one
thirty
one
east
and
uh
they
would
just
go
out
a
pipe
road
had
little
houses
on
the
side
had
a
toll
gate
would
come
down
over
that
rock
that
man'd
let
it
up
and
he'd
charge
you
a
dime
to
go
over
it
in
your
buggy
and
a
quarter
for
a
wagon
and
team
and
that's
where
they
they
serviced
their
pipe
they'd
hire
help
to
haul
the
gravel
and
put
on
it
without
the
money
they
got
out
of
this
toll
you
know
that's
where
it
we
come
up
in
my
young
life
i've
shoveled
gravel
many
a
day
and
it
started
right
down
here
at
my
tobacco
patch
and
down
to
that
ninety
six
was
arno
pike
we
called
and
we'd
work
it
we'd
haul
gravel
all
up
and
down
these
creeks
and
then
spread
'em
out
on
the
road
well
this
turnpike
it's
paved
it's
a
paved
paved
thing
it
uh
i
imagine
you've
heard
of
that
we
build
a
they
build
a
bridges
over
tennessee
river
two
different
places
i
know
of
i've
ferried
across
before
they
build
it
and
uh
they
they
that
turnpike
is
they'll
charge
so
much
for
a
car
the
man
sits
in
a
little
house
'til
they
get
that
bridge
paid
for
then
they
they
quit
they
don't
charge
you
any
money
it's
free
that's
the
way
they
build
'em
tennessee
does
across
the
tennessee
river
now
i
know
two
that
are
built
across
like
that
just
let
it
pay
for
itself
then
it's
free
i
never
will
forget
one
time
we
was
going
i
love
to
be
living
that's
all
brilliant
thing
to
be
living
we
were
going
down
to
the
bayou
nineteen
forty
one
trying
to
get
on
that
job
down
there
bunch
of
uh
men
i
had
a
whole
bunch
of
men
in
my
car
and
they
had
suitcases
tied
on
and
uh
tool
boxes
and
things
we'd
go
going
down
trying
to
get
on
this
there's
five
or
six
of
us
well
either
five
or
six
men
and
we'd
get
all
the
way
down
at
night
and
we
come
to
this
they're
building
this
bridge
across
the
tennessee
river
and
we
had
to
ferry
across
in
the
mean
time
just
before
i
got
to
there
my
hose
one
of
the
hose
on
my
car
it
busted
and
the
car's
about
to
burn
up
so
when
this
ferrying
across
my
car
was
the
last
one
they
let
get
on
there's
about
i'd
say
ten
or
twelve
of
us
on
the
ferry
it
carried
across
and
them
others
just
went
right
on
course
and
then
i
pulled
it's
a
guy
that
drove
this
ferry
told
me
to
pour
water
he
had
a
cup
there
he
keep
telling
me
talking
about
this
pour
water
saying
that
would
cool
it
off
going
down
about
two
and
a
half
three
miles
to
little
town
he
said
i
can
if
i
can
get
'em
up
they'll
probably
be
in
their
beds
won't
be
nobody
up
but
if
i
can
wake
somebody
up
there
in
that
little
town
maybe
they
can
get
somebody
to
get
up
and
get
me
a
fan
belt
and
uh
i
started
out
up
that
bank
you
did
you
ever
go
across
there
see
that
ferry
knocked
water
all
over
the
gravel
bank
there
gravel
bank
but
you
climb
up
as
you
go
up
that
ferry
so
like
about
that
steep
goes
up
that
bank
well
my
car
tipped
down
we
had
so
much
of
a
load
on
it
and
now
to
get
parts
you
you've
heard
that
you
know
you
know
that
much
i
imagine
car
gets
hot
it
won't
run
good
and
it
wasn't
running
too
good
and
it
choked
down
and
i
didn't
have
the
hand
brakes
on
just
foot
brake
and
that
darn
boat
done
backed
off
and
long
gone
in
the
dark
now
we're
sitting
in
the
dark
left
us
out
in
the
dark
you
see
and
i
had
to
hold
that
brake
with
my
left
foot
and
them
men
jumped
out
over
there
like
me
to
death
come
every
one
of
my
men
jumped
out
over
and
jumped
off
and
run
left
us
and
i
finally
got
my
car
started
held
brake
with
my
left
foot
and
got
it
started
and
finally
got
got
it
climbed
up
out
of
this
and
my
heart
was
just
beating
i
could
hear
it
just
beating
making
that
kinda
racket
i
was
expecting
that
thing
to
go
back
up
in
the
river
choked
down
about
slipped
off
back
in
there
with
me
never
scared
in
my
life
i
said
no
never
go
across
another
ferry
if
i
live
to
be
a
million
years
old
i
ain't
i
wouldn't
go
across
one
no
way
shape
or
fashion
they
went
off
left
me
and
i
i
rode
by
'em
when
i
got
started
you
know
and
they
hollered
hey
hey
hey
no
i'm
going
on
y'all
will
just
have
to
walk
course
i
stopped
i
let
'em
walk
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile
i
reckon
like
that
just
mean
i
thought
they
sure
did
give
me
a
dozen
it
wasn't
cost
'em
nothing
to
go
with
me
i
didn't
charge
'em
nothing
or
stayed
with
me
or
hollered
they
all
hollered
that
scared
me
so
bad
i
just
couldn't
i
don't
know
where
i
said
anything
to
the
man
with
the
ferry
or
not
but
he
what
he
all
he
had
on
his
mind
was
rushing
back
and
getting
another
load
of
cars
coming
across
with
him
you
know
they
ought
to
wait
to
be
sure
that
man's
everybody's
going
off
he
takes
away
pulls
out
and
that
thing
acts
like
me
is
missing
so
i
didn't
think
he'd
ever
get
across
with
us
i
think
i
tell
you
he
carried
way
down
below
where
we
went
we
going
off
in
it
course
they
they
knew
how
to
turn
you
know
hit
the
place
there
and
come
out
and
it
cost
you
next
time
i
went
back
another
trip
went
across
i
went
across
that
there
bridge
it
cost
uh
i
believe
it's
a
dollar
for
for
myself
and
the
car
and
i
believe
it's
fifty
cents
a
piece
for
each
passenger
you
have
i
believe
that's
what
it
was
i
made
them
pay
for
themselves
we
come
back
i
didn't
go
back
across
that
ferry
but
i
never
did
get
any
job
down
there
my
wife
said
you're
gonna
starve
to
death
we
children
little
fellows
you
know
and
she
said
i
spent
all
the
money
i
can
get
my
hands
on
we
didn't
have
i
never
did
well
it's
a
it'd
just
pulled
off
a
side
road
for
the
road
yeah
it
would
call
it
a
gravel
road
or
something
like
that
that
would
be
pitch
i
guess
kinda
like
a
tar
it's
something
that's
what
sticks
the
gravel
rock
together
what
you're
talking
about
mm
hmm
i
think
it's
took
you
just
take
all
the
all
the
flesh
off
your
bones
if
you
were
to
get
some
of
it
on
there
it's
the
hottest
stuff
you
ever
saw
in
your
life
when
they
pour
pour
it
you
know
and
it's
uh
see
uh
that
pitch
and
uh
i
guess
asphalt
it's
kind
of
an
asphalt
and
and
pitch
underneath
concrete
don't
you
know
a
lot
of
'em
we
got
a
lot
here
state
up
here
just
pure
concrete
they
last
long
time
but
they
don't
rise
as
good
as
they
say
these
asphalt
roads
do
the
concrete's
kinda
rough
they
have
to
have
a
little
you
know
little
place
just
blocks
like
of
so
often
you
know
to
keep
from
busting
all
fan
and
you
can
tell
a
car
hitting
'em
in
little
places
makes
a
little
going
over
'em
course
they
they
they
last
for
a
long
time
i
guess
a
lot
longer
than
these
other
ones
asphalt
it
dries
so
much
better
heap
better
how'd
you
come
over
here
did
you
come
by
peytonsville
or
did
you
did
you
come
out
through
peytonsville
over
here
peytonsville
uh

i've
uh
huh
you

out
there
that's
good
road
out

all
the

all
the

up
'til

you
run
over
one
of
the
two
little
stores

this
last
one
and
then
turn
to
your
right
and
come
on
up

about
three
four

through
here
from

back
to

steep
hill

at
that
truck
stop
right
in
front
of

daytime

i
you
come

be
to
get
that
much
collected
it's
tobacco
insurance
on
my
tobacco
crop
a
thousand
dollars
per
acre
on
i
reckon
i
have
about
fifteen
hundred
dollars
in
the
patch
that

be
nothing
you
know
if
we
had
to
get
tore

we
we

it
might
it
might

again
too
you
know
it
gets
up
big
gets
up
large
you
never
have
seen
any
you
said
grow
have
you
it
just
up
we
top
it
up
about
the
size
of
my
head
cut
the
top
out
of
it
yeah
and
then
it's
six
fif
twelve
fifteen
feet
high
you
didn't
cut
the
top
out
of
it
but
you
cut
out
a
lot
of
it
and
throw
it
away
then
these
top
leaves
come
over
and
make
great
big
leaves
and
what
you'll
you
top
'em
then
we
cut
our
stalks
and
spear
'em
on
a
stick
but
out
there
in
your
country
in
georgia
florida
and
north
carolina
and
south
carolina
they
pull
the
leaves
off
pull
'em
off
the
stalk
pull
off
one
or
two
at
three
or
something
the
bottom
and
they
take
'em
in
i
reckon
still
string
around
'em
a
pole
or
a
stick
and
hang
'em
up
in
the
little
drying
house
dry
'em
up

the
middle
of
july

they
get
through
with
that
those
two
countries
they
come
over
in
south
carolina
and
east
north
carolina
to
start
come
this
a
way
'til
they
get
through
with
all
that
they
got
a
eastern
belt
in
north
carolina
middle
belt
and
old
belt
north
carolina
really
sells
i
suspect
three
or
four
time
much
as
all
the
other
georgia
and
and
florida
south
carolina
too
i
hope
i
never
been
out
there
to
salem
but
that's
where
we
going
away
he
wants
to
wait
and
go
he
said
if
i
would
never
go
back
no
more
he
wants
to
see
lot
his
friends
been
going
out
there
this
winston
north
carolina
way
out
on
the
coast
i
don't
know
i
never
been
there
but
he
wants
to
go
up
there
and
stay
two
three
three
four
days
with
some
of
his
friends
up
there
and
we
gonna
stay
the
boy
that
i
one
of
my
best
friends
i
ever
had
his
house
for
a
few
days
then
we're
going
up
on
the
coast
the
boy
has
a
trailer
house
out
of
glass
goes
right
down
to
the
water
spend
night
gonna

water
so
we'll
nothing

pick
a
rock
up

at
it
stone
threw
at
him
not

way

throwed
off
one
time
one
throwed
me
off
young
mule
and
throwed
me
off
and
that
singletree
trace
came
wrapped
around
one
of
my
feet
and
he
drug
me
around
and
around
for
about
fifteen
to
minutes
maybe
twenty
just
around
and
around
and
around
and
i
didn't
ever
lose
my
head
always
my
he'd
have
drug
me
to
death
drug
my
brains
out
if
he
run
you
know
but
i
just
kept
on
steady
him
what
to
do
and
how
to
do
it
i
just
hope
that
was
the
last
time
finally
i
said
well
i'm
gonna
give
a
quick
jump
holler
and
he'll
jump
and
maybe
that
trace'll
come
off
of
my
hand
always
want
to
see
the
hand
stick
up
about
that
high
for
up
over
the
top
hang
string
over
the
collar
and
i
just
stick
that
ring
there
they
uh
traces
over
each
handle
you
know
and
that's
what
my
foot
leg
wrapped
around
in
quick
when
he
throwed
me
and
and
there's
dragging
me
around
and
around
and
around
and
he
was
young
mule

three
years
old
too

break
me
to
ride
good
and
i
gave
that
quick
jerk
he
jumped
and
that
ring
jumped
off
of
that
hang
unraveled
then
he
just
stop
stood
there
and
looked
at
me
i
walked

i
said

i
stayed
i
just
tucked
those
reins
in
and
chains
and
and
just
laid
'em
over
there
and
and
anything
like
that
but

i
got
leg
got
wrapped
around
something
and
just
fell

'em
up
on
his
neck
further
and
i
kept

more

i
rode
him
every
day

and
forth
to

fast
as
he
could
buck
jump
in
the
air
and

and
run
fell

horse
shoes
pitch
pitch
horseshoes
hoof

hoof
drive
the
nails
in
his

of
'em

two
nails
to

a
sheep
call
him
a
ram
buck
i
i
guess
a
w
would
would

nicer
to

a
ram
no
i
don't
remember
we
never
did
have
any
sheep
at
all
i
don't

be
too
much
difference
between
a
ram
and
a
buck
and
goats
i
have
some
goats
did
you
ever
see
any

lot
of
little
bushes
left

there
and
for
