but
i've
been
uh
to
mississippi
all
up
and
down
mississippi
it's
the

no
we

we'd
take
the
uh
trips
over
there
and
uh
go
to
them
places
that
uh
them
big
eating
places
and
enjoy
seeing
a
lot
of
people
and
uh
being
with
'em
and
the
rest
i've
never
been
out
of
alabama
in

mississippi
that's
the
only
one
that
i
remember
the
state
of
florida
yeah
uh
no
uh
montgomery
i've
been
to
montgomery
and
around
and
i've
been
to
uh
pensacola
mobile
and
i
hadn't
never
been
to
new
orleans
yet
this
uh
they
say
it's
pretty
good
sight
to
go
over
there
sightseeing
other
words
we
call
ourselves
sightseeing
you
know
when
we
leave
out
and
that's
mostly
what
it
is
and
we
get
to
enjoy
seeing
different
things
god
has
created
you
know
down
on
the
beach
even
we
find
out
that
there's
uh
what
they
call
beach
rice
down
there
beach
rice
it's
a
it's
got
uh
goodies
in
it
uh
for
the
birds
and
animals
and
uh
i
got
a
leaf
what
the
house
and
they
don't
they
forbid
you
to
bother
this
say
i
don't
know
how
the
people
got
a
hold
to
this
that
gave
this
to
me
but
they
forbid
you
to
strictly
against
the
la
so
uh
i
did
have
to
get
hold
to
this
and
um
so
we
see
that
and
we
see
a
lots
of
things
that
new
to
our
eyes
i
have
a
bean
over
there
to
the
house
about
that
big
around
it
looks
just
like
a
lima
bean
or
it
looks
like
a
butter
bean
it's
growed
like
it
and
it
grows
down
there
in
florida
below
pensacola
down
on
the
beach
that's
where
i
got
it
one
of
the
and
i
already
got
a
bunch
of
'em
and
if
i
had
any
i
could've
planted
that
thing
and
the
raised
any
out
here
on
the
land
you
better
believe
i
would
have
it's
a
beautiful
bean
big
as
a
it's
big
as
a
fifty
cent
piece
i
reckon
yeah
oh
we
just
grow
uh
bunch
of
beans
and
uh
running
beans
well
we
have
a
running
butter
bean
we
have
a
running
bunch
uh
butter
bean
and
a
bunch
of
other
beans
we
have
both
of
them
and
we
have
bunch
of
beans
and
running
bunch
of
beans
four
different
kinds
you
should
have
been
here
in
the
first
third
a
part
of
the
summer
well
we
have
shelled
butter
beans
on
this
porch
and
let
me
tell
you
something
about
this
with
a
bu
butter
bean
not
only
butter
beans
but
peas
and
all
kind
of
vegetables
you
might
say
and
we
have
some
good
friends
here
that
owns
a
market
uh
me
produce
in
other
words
they
peddle
vegetables
and
these
vegetables
some
of
'em
just
bruise
such
as
peaches
and
pears
or
apples
or
whatever
they
have
and
uh
they
hate
to
throw
away
the
good
ones
parts
of
'em
away
they'd
bring
'em
here
and
dump
'em
on
this
porch
and
me
and
the
ladies
takes
care
of
'em
and
other
people
would
call
and
they'd
come
and
help
us
to
buy
'em
and
don't
throw
anything
away
that's
worth
that
can
be
eaten
and
so
that's
the
way
we
had
all
this
porch
it's
it's
it's
a
wonderful
place
for
that
you
know
no
that's
right
it's
sorta
like
some
of
the
cars
you
don't
step
up
on
the
fender
you
just
step
that's
right
woo
modern
days
with
these
let's
see
modern
days
with
they
grow
corn
and
uh
pumpkins
you
should've
seen
the
pumpkins
that
i
raised
two
years
ago
i
believe
it
is
i
raised
two
pumpkins
and
they
come
down
from
the
um
um
printing
office
new
orleans
times
come
down
and
take
pictures
of
me
and
the
pumpkins
well
yeah
i
raised
two
special
one
of
'em
weighed
fifty
six
and
the
other
one
weighs
i
believe
sixty
something
pound
i
mean
they
was
whopping
they
was
big
ones
i
couldn't
pick
'em
up
oh
yeah
yeah
you
can
i
i
took
'em
out
there
and
butchered
'em
on
that
table
uh
huh
took
me
a
saw
sawed
'em
open
yeah
i
sawed
'em
open
and
sawed
'em
up
where
the
ladies
could
get
'em
i
still
got
some
of
the
seed
down
there
yeah
gourds
we
grow
we
have
a
gourd
family
there
too
we
raised
some
gourds
out
outside
no
a
gourd
is
something
other
just
for
the
birds
uh
and
get
a
bird
mess
and
make
dippers
out
of
'em
you
can
make
dippers
out
of
'em
people
used
to
use
'em
for
dippers
back
yonder
way
back
yonder
and
i
i
have
one
over
at
the
house
or
two
and
it
sure
is
useful
squash
yeah
we
growed
'em
this
year
grow
squash
mushmelons
and
uh
cucumbers
grow
cucumbers
most
anything
fit's
the
line
it
can
grow
in
the
garden
i
don't
know
of
anything
that
won't
make
and
the
vegetables
almost
everything
will
make
it
no
no
i
don't
think
we
do
no
they're
different
a
cantaloupe
is
i
believe
it's
mushmelon
mostly
they
taste
good
i
like
them
more
and
we
don't
even
have
to
do
that
now
the
ladies
sell
them
tomatoes
they
have
fruit
got
to
do
the
other
fruit
and
they
bring
here
and
let
us
can
'em
or
make
juice
out
of
'em
tommy
toes
yeah
yeah
we
we
can
grow
them
too
you
know
i
think
a
tommy
toe
tomato
is
made
from
uh
a
big
tomato
i
think
it's
more
or
less
the
like
you
pulled
it
seed
out
yonder
and
it
grows
in
the
trash
comes
up
if
it
don't
make
a
tommy
toe
that
year
if
that
seed
stays
there
the
third
year
you
got
a
tommy
toe
to
bush
a
tommy
toe
tomato
bush
now
i
believe
that's
the
way
the
tommy
toes
gets
here
uh
huh
and
you
know
i
learned
uh
there's
two
different
kinds
of
them
tommy
toes
some
of
'em's
a
little
bitty
round
one
and
some
of
'em's
a
little
long
one
like
a
pear
shape
yeah
yeah
that's
wh
they
good
too
peppers
woo
yeah
yeah
no
um
i
d
i
take
'em
out
put
'em
in
vinegar
i
mean
the
long
pods
i
got
some
in
vinegar
and
use
the
vinegar
my
beans
these
collards
and
uh
yeah
radishes
i
can't
think
all
of
them
vegetables
we
can
grow
turnips
and
mustard
collards
that's
the
main
thing
turnips
mustards
and
collards
in
the
green
line
and
i
raised
some
spinach
this
year
yeah
made
okra
we
got
a
beautiful
row
out
there
now
beautiful
row
of
okra
out
there
now
yeah
we
do
we
have
nice
leafy
vegetables
well
we
we
grow
mustard
and
collards
and
turnips
and
lettuce
and
uh
spinach
and
you
know
carrots
go
in
the
root
part
with
'em
rutabagas
ca
yeah
cabbage
i
can't
think
of
all
that
cabbage
yeah
we
grow
a
lot
now
i
reckon
you
might
like
for
me
to
set
a
seal
on
my
part
of
that
growing
i'm
an
organic
man
yeah
organic
it
means
there's
no
poison
damage
no
commercial
not
too
much
and
uh
and
organic
means
away
from
all
a
barnyard
it
was
just
a
barnyard
sheep
chickens
also
and
i
been
lucky
to
do
that
up
'til
this
year
i
didn't
have
much
stuff
this
year
about
getting
barn
uh
but
i
used
cotton
seed
it
leaves
more
and
a
little
barnyard
i
had
this
year
but
not
much
just
a
little
i'd
rather
have
more
if
i
can
get
it
very
little
if
any
i
use
uh
oak
ashes
or
dogwood
ashes
or
to
keep
the
pests
off
yeah
you
know
lye
and
oak
ashes
you
can't
put
much
on
uh
early
in
the
morning
when
the
dew's
on
and
you
put
just
have
to
learn
how
to
put
just
a
small
amount
i
just
put
my
vegetables
out
early
so
the
won't
bugs
won't
pester
'em
my
early
vegetables
and
that
helps
too
you
know
yeah
yeah
yeah
and
uh
in
old
quincy
they
call
it
yeah
quincy
yeah
right
i
was
born
in
stockton
in
an
old
field
right
up
there
just
to
the
right
of
the
highway
above
stockton
nineteen
three
nineteen
three
she
was
born
in
conecuh
county
right
up
uh
beside
girl
she
come
to
borden
she
she
she
uh
didn't
live
and
die
here
she
lived
and
and
died
in
a
hospital
up
in
uh
now
let's
see
i
don't
know
what
county
monroe
i
reckon
and
um
county
after
she
was
born
and
my
mother
was
a
nurse
uh
yeah
she
was
a
granny
nurse
that
means
uh
take
the
babies
instead
of
a
doctor
that
old
and
had
uh
have
a
granny
woman
to
do
these
things
and
that's
what
she
did
stepmother
well
that's
what
i'm
trying
to
say
uh
huh
yeah
midwife
yeah
yeah
you
don't
hear
of
'em
no
more
unless
it's
a
case
of
emergency
something
you
know
that
they
have
to
do
then
i
don't
fi
i
reckon
a
doctor
wouldn't
allow
'em
now
they've
got
everything
else
they
come
to
the
doctor
now
i
we'll
have
to
go
back
down
to
get
on
the
foundation
according
to
the
bible
we'll
ask
about
jesus'
days
jesus
at
twelve
years
old
he
was
found
talking
to
the
doctors
and
the
lawyers
watching
things
ever
since
that
jesus
turned
the
table
of
mo
moneychangers
over
and
done
away
with
all
of
this
stuff
worldly
ever
since
then
i
noticed
the
doctors
and
the
lawyers
uh
working
on
people
more
than
any
other
people
around
because
they're
praying
down
to
the
point
where
that
you
don't
go
to
no
other
place
but
them
for
protection
or
for
um
advice
see
and
they've
gotta
charge
if
they
do
this
and
it's
got
to
where
it
seems
to
me
like
it's
tremendous
too
much
or
bless
they're
hearts
so
that's
where
all
this
come
from
and
and
in
talking
to
the
doctors
and
the
lawyer
well
back
there
are
these
midwives
and
grannies
uh
sorta
will
drop
backs
see
about
the
engines
back
in
they
tribes
you
know
when
they
was
to
have
a
baby
the
women
they'd
go
get
behind
a
big
log
or
something
and
have
the
child
and
i
don't
know
how
they
handled
the
other
situation
used
to
handle
it
themselves
maybe
they
had
midwives
i
don't
know
but
anyhow
pretty
quick
she'd
put
the
little
baby
in
a
papoose
they'd
call
it
put
it
on
the
back
and
took
off
no
doctors
to
tell
you
what
to
do
but
back
there
they
was
to
help
the
people
they
were
very
much
help
seems
as
they'd
might've
been
in
your
category
seen
like
you
have
amen
amen
most
no
uh
stain
or
uh
at
least
it
wasn't
too
much
of
stain
of
sin
and
the
bodies
were
very
much
more
help
than
they
ought
to
be
but
nevertheless
it's
come
on
down
to
the
doctors
and
lawyers
now
reason
why
i
mentioned
that
story
and
uh
it's
got
got
us
all
pinned
up
and
we
don't
have
much
more
freedom
to
ourselves
and
we
don't
have
we
always
seem
like
we
gotta
go
and
see
a
doctor
then
too
you
know
try
to
do
something
for
ourselves
they's
some
of
us
me
for
one
that's
got
little
petty
things
i
can
use
little
chemicals
and
things
that
i
can
use
and
uh
mostly
it
might
have
a
bad
skin
or
something
on
my
hand
i
can
use
just
pure
waters
i
can
get
hold
to
'em
and
wash
it
real
good
and
sometime
i
use
a
band
aid
hardly
ever
unless
it's
a
very
bad
cut
i
let
it
get
well
itself
and
a
few
seconds
after
this
skin
has
happened
after
the
wound
has
happened
to
the
flesh
however
whatever
it
might
be
i
learned
if
w
wash
it
out
and
put
it
back
as
quick
as
possible
uh
it'll
start
to
heal
and
if
something
or
other
happens
you
stack
a
m
something
or
other
and
tear
this
loose
you
can
see
the
strands
of
meat
that's
already
healed
back
so
if
we
nurse
this
and
keep
it
'til
it
gets
really
healed
uh
it'll
just
grow
right
up
yeah
they
used
uh
herbs
from
the
woods
uh
huh
yeah
my
father
had
some
herbs
that
he
used
from
the
woods
even
for
cramping
it
was
called
uh
buck
root
and
it
was
really
good
and
then
he
had
a
remedy
him
and
mother
that
they
used
for
gravel
it
was
old
wild
wild
grass
that
grows
tall
as
he
um
horse
mane
or
horse
tail
grows
up
old
wild
grass
and
you
can
dig
that
up
and
boil
it
make
a
tea
and
drink
it
for
the
gravel
and
just
it's
a
short
time
your
gravel's
gone
you
can
pass
your
water
right
on
then
what
it
is
it
works
on
the
power
stone
well
i
reckon
it
just
then
they
have
a
little
blue
weed
that
came
up
that
they
use
for
uh
uh
fevers
sick
stomach
make
a
key
outta
that
it's
a
little
blue
flower
that
grows
and
s
and
they
have
one
they
call
yellow
root
branches
at
the
creeks
and
you
find
it
growing
on
the
in
the
woods
you
gather
this
yellow
root
and
bind
it
in
little
balls
and
bring
it
home
and
you
can
have
a
sore
mouth
your
mouth
gets
sore
take
a
little
piece
of
that
yellow
root
put
it
in
your
mouth
and
chew
it
and
while
all
that's
in
the
soil
and
it'll
cure
it
and
you
can
use
it
for
a
key
but
i
don't
know
what
they
use
that
for
a
but
i
don't
remember
key
but
the
yellow
root's
good
for
sore
mouth
sassafras
well
there's
two
kinds
there
ain't
but
one
kind
that
you
can
use
to
make
tea
out
drink
it's
just
a
beverage
that
you
can
use
in
your
in
your
home
at
your
mealtimes
and
at
your
mighty
fine
sassafras
tea
it
grows
in
old
fields
and
stuff
places
like
that
and
there's
a
white
kind
and
a
brown
a
red
kind
well
i
was
coming
up
with
a
mullein
before
you
said
about
that
but
i
forgot
about
it
yeah
there's
a
mullein
we
growing
mullein
here
now
i
saw
some
mullein
out
there
yesterday
uh
we
grow
you
can
take
this
mullein
and
make
a
poultice
to
go
on
wounds
and
i
don't
remember
what
else
that
they
could
use
the
mullein
for
but
i
think
they
made
a
tea
out
of
it
too
but
i
know
they
used
it
for
poultice
on
the
wounds
and
then
back
in
the
bible
time
they
used
fig
tree
leaves
for
poultices

other

the
first
thing
i
remember
really
we
stayed
there
s
for
a
good
while
i
don't
know
how
many
years
but
we
stayed
at
that
one
a
good
while
just
a
little
old
house
built
with
uh
kitchen
on
the
side
s
no
it
was
joined
to
it
or
built
into
it
well
we
just
had
one
real
big
bedroom
right
there
i
remember
them
momma
had
a
s
we
just
cleaned
her
floors
with
a
big
scrub
mop
with
shucks
in
it
a
piece
of
wood
board
with
holes
in
it
put
your
shucks
in
and
had
a
handle
in
it
put
a
handle
in
it
and
that's
what
she
cleaned
her
floors
with
with
the
corn
shucks
just
stuff
'em
in
there
and
she
twisted
'em
up
in
them
holes
put
a
lot
of
'em
in
there
and
it
would
be
solid
the
bottom
a
that
basket
satchel
but
it
was
really
s
would
scar
them
floors
i
mean
just
dirt
and
grease

g
uh
washing

uh
grandma
dust
um
yeah
grandma
dust
that's
what
they
called
it
and
uh
she
threw
that
on
the
floor
and
used
sand
that
stuff
had
to
move
and
all
you
had
to
have
was
a
muscle
to
do
that
scrubbing
so
the
house
had
you
said
it
was
just
one
big
bedroom
yeah
that's
right
and
most
of
'em
we
lived
in
was
like
that
uh
we
got
to
where
can
have
a
little
bit
a
christmas
a
long
time
uh
she
liked
the
man
quit
building
the
houses
and
the
porch
you
see
will
work
for
it
they'd
always
low
key
folks
know
how
to
work
so
they'd
rent
houses
rent
places
for
us
the
man
we
worked
for
in
the
latter
days
when
the
you
know
coming
down
outgrown
got
to
where
we
could
rent
places
so
they
would
have
more
room
and
that's
the
way
we
growed
up
s
where
we
at
now
this
little
house
on
the
end
trailer
combined
uh
six
years
i've
got
the
date
down
on
yeah
it
was
there
when
i
come
here
uh
you
know
the
man
who
owned
who
lived
in
that
little
house
was
retarded
fellows
from
the
railroad
you
see
and
they
lived
there
on
this
man's
place
he
was
living
at
the
time
mr
beasley
and
they
first
lived
right
there
where
i
got
that
little
old
house
on
a
piece
of
cement
and
it
wasn't
big
enough
it
was
too
close
and
it
moved
out
there
in
the
corner
and
it's
been
there
ever
since
i
don't
know
how
long
yeah
uh
but
that
somber
little
house
with
a
rusty
top
on
it
the
other
one
the
other
side
i
lived
in
it
three
years
and
taking
care
of
my
father
here
in
town
with
my
sister
and
uh
until
he
died
and
then
i
was
going
back
to
the
river
on
the
river
now
i
got
a
little
i
had
a
little
shack
up
there
and
i
was
going
back
little
shack
on
the
river
bank
but
uh
these
people
found
out
i
was
a
gardener
and
they
asked
me
would
i
be
con
contented
uh
without
an
would
i
like
to
move
in
this
little
house
i
looked
at
my
wife
i
said
yeah
i
will
made
up
my
mind
i
said
i
will
and
so
they
cleaned
it
up
me
and
'em
together
and
i
i
done
moved
some
of
my
things
back
to
stockton
but
i
came
back
and
uh
went
up
i
i
after
i
deciding
i
was
going
to
live
here
then
i
put
the
other
furniture
in
here

the
back
in
the
back
yeah
nothing
short
of
the
shade
that's
right
they
are
hu
awful
large
i'd
like
to

i
wonder
why
they
had
to
stoop
over
like
that
such
a
beautiful
trees
nah
and
you
know
they'll
they'll
i've
seen
'em
and
they'll
basically
they'll
come
clean
to
the
ground
those
limbs
will
brush
the
ground
one
up
yonder
on
the
bank
there's
one
of
the
limbs
scraping
the
ground
there
just
about
it
i'm
fixing
to
cut
it
off
trim
up
so
it'll
look
better
yeah
yeah
and
a
and
the
fireplace
was
a
stick
and
dirt
chimney
stick
and
dirt
chimney
it's
a
chimney
and
fireplace
you
were
on
about
it's
a
home
ba
built
by
hand
you
see
is
there
something
we
can
do
for
you
yeah
yeah
he
built
the
chimney
himself
yeah
he's
built
several
of
them
chimneys
in
our
buildings
they
was
built
for
us
to
he
used
to
build
several
chimneys
like
that
he
was
you
know
call
'em
stick
and
dirt
that's
what
it
is
they
dig
a
hole
and
put
clay
in
it
it's
with
clay
and
cut
up
a
lotta
pine
straw
in
that
hole
and
make
the
mud
up
with
water
make
up
the
dirt
and
they
uh
cut
the
sticks
as
long
as
they
want
or
as
wide
as
they
want
the
chimney
and
they
start
to
building
'em
they
take
this
mud
and
ball
it
up
and
put
it
on
these
sticks
and
lay
another
one
on
top
of
that
one
you
know
and
lay
'em
up
like
that
stick
and
dirt
chimney
all
the
way
to
the
top
of
the
house
yeah
we
would
run
them
other
fires
and
uh
you
got
to
be
careful
heat
down
there
going
well
uh
anyway
and
if
you
don't
mind
your
red
coal
you'll
put
on
too
much
wood
at
a
time
and
you
got
to
be
careful
yeah
we
take
some
i
call
'em
tire
spanners
were
plenty
of
wood
then
you
know
go
out
there
and
cut
you
some
good
splinters
and
strike
a
match
and
stick
to
this
start
your
pot
and
lay
your
wood
on
it
now
back
yonder
ago
before
then
they
had
to
use
rocks
flint
rocks
and
knock
a
fire
out
of
the
flint
rock
on
the
cotton
s
s
s
s
set
the
cotton
a
fire
then
they
could
start
fire
from
the
cotton
that's
the
way
it
used
to
be
back
there
but
my
father
always
was
lucky
to
have
matches
striking
matches
we
had
to
be
careful
not
took
care
of
them
matches
yeah
you
could
have
wood
like
that
and
uh
keep
the
fire
a
long
time
keep
the
heat
in
the
fireplace
we
used
oakwood
most
at
the
back
called
'em
back
log
back
log
mm
hmm
yeah
back
log
and
i've
heard
my
father
talk
about
back
yonder
in
the
time
that
they
had
to
use
flint
rocks
to
get
fire
from
there's
a
lot
of
ti
timber
fell
in
the
woods
then
big
logs
and
they'd
set
any
one
of
these
logs
afire
and
it
would
burn
for
weeks
and
weeks
and
weeks
and
weeks
and
weeks
not
even
a
month
to
before
it
burned
up
and
they'd
get
they'd
go
get
the
fire
from
that
log
they'd
say
get
the
fire
outta
that
log
that's
the
way
they
used
to
do
that
going
without
matches
yeah
you
could
have
uh
rocks
lay
'em
on
rocks
or
something
to
keep
'em
off
of
the
ashes
you
know
a
brick
or
something
put
them
logs
on
and
uh
we
could
get
a
spark
started
from
them
then
the
next
day
if
they're
still
yeah
yeah
you
can
buy
'em
now
that
they
call
firedogs
uh
dog
irons
or
something
like
that
and
people
makes
'em
now
these
ladies
got
they
use
a
chimney
every
winter
these
ladies
do
and
they
got
some
at
the
one
of
the
neighbors
made
'em
over
here
at
the
place
uh
shop
he
was
here
long
as
he
lived
oh
called
a
mantel
shelf
yeah
uh
yeah
mantel
boards
oh
yeah
yeah
i
remember
hearing
my
uncle
tell
aunt
elmer
that
was
papa's
baby
brother
after
he
married
and
had
a
family
uh
tell
us
said
he's
going
there
to
hunt
something
he'd
laid
up
on
the
mantel
shelf
and
there's
so
much
gets
laid
on
a
shelf
do
you
know
junky
she
says
elmer
says
where
is
the
uh
plow
stock
eh
where's
the
plow
stock
said
i
see
everything
up
here
but
the
plow
stock
ah
she
said
crazy
something
like
that
you
know
he
meant
she
didn't
yeah
said
i
see
everything
up
here
but
the
plow
stock
rough
wasn't
it
he
throwing
out
no
there
wasn't
no
brick
over
it
but
they
had
them
uh
sticks
they
run
them
sticks
out
in
there
and
they
made
a
a
board
that'll
hold
this
clay
uh
way
take
they
take
some
kind
of
metal
if
they
could
get
it
and
put
under
this
clay
under
the
clay
like
they
do
bricks
now
you
know
and
they'd
put
that
there
to
hold
the
lay
up
and
then
that'd
between
the
m
metal
and
wood
and
they
used
to
rest
of
it
too
that's
the
way
they
done
it
yeah
um
enjoy
the
heat
from
the
fire
yeah
yeah
you
could
sit
there
where
there's
a
big
fan
that
they'll
have
to
keep
moving
out
you
know
and
moving
in
to
keep
everybody
warm
they
can
all
hug
up
there
at
one
time
but
in
the
a
lotta
times
they
got
to
where
they
built
brick
chimneys
and
rock
chimneys
and
uh
they
could
put
a
big
heap
fire
in
that
could
take
care
of
a
big
family
you
know
because
they
could
uh
a
lot
of
'em
standing
around
the
back
and
every
warm
way
back
out
in
the
room
and
never
build
your
chimney
in
the
south
end
of
the
house
never
always
if
possible
build
it
in
the
north
end
of
your
house
you
put
it
in
the
south
end
you
see
the
cold
wind'll
just
pour
right
in
there
and
it'll
dry
it
right
on
up
um
you'd
be
uh
warm
just
rush
your
cold
out
yeah
that's
the
way
it
was
yeah
they
called
that
a
uh
well
a
fireplace
hearth
uh
hearth
yeah
made
out
in
front
yeah
low
down
yeah
just
standing
yeah
uh
huh
you
call
that
a
hearth
the
hearth
yeah
smut
well
most
of
the
smut
didn't
burn
itself
out
there'd
come
a
rainy
day
sprinkle
a
rainy
day
and
this
s
soot
would
get
a
little
damp
and
it
would
catch
a
fire
what
i
mean
by
that
uh
there's
something
or
other
about
it
that
made
it
catch
a
fire
and
it'd
did
just
go
out
well
maybe
after
the
rain
stopped
it
it
would
catch
a
fire
and
it'd
go
clean
out
the
top
of
the
chimney
and
just
clean
that
chimney
'til
the
top
yeah
and
you
had
to
be
careful
about
fire
poles
on
the
roof
you
know
wooden
roofs
boards
yeah
and
this
uh
soot
would
catch
a
fire
it's
called
soots
and
not
smut
so
and
it'll
just
clean
that
chimney
out
well
also
the
wooden
stoves
they
use
to
have
put
wood
into
cook
on
uh
sometime
that
soot'll
get
a
fire
and
just
clean
that
oven
out
under
it
you
know
the
fire
and
you
say
well
and
hear
it
go
up
this
pipe
yeah
blow
it
out
and
you
could
use
this
oil
what
they
call
s
kerosene
and
coal
oil
and
put
a
little
bit
in
that
stove
and
that'll
that'll
make
it
burn
it
out
too
flush
it
out
yeah
burn
that
soot
outta
there
clean
the
pipe
out
and
uh
the
pipes
is
alright
long
as
you
didn't
have
a
elbow
some
people
used
heaters
in
the
house
layer
and
put
a
elbow
through
there
a
pipe
through
the
wall
uh
out
the
window
or
something
and
they
had
a
elbow
they
put
on
this
pipe
and
that
elbow
would
sure
fill
up
with
that
ashes
and
soot
but
they
learnt
the
latter
later
on
after
that
thing
they
learned
to
split
a
split
a
hole
in
the
bottom
of
that
elbow
and
that
taken
care
of
the
problem
firing
stuff
to
just
keep
going
wouldn't
stop
a
clog
up
yes
sir
cut
that
hole
in
there
just
draw
it
on
the
p
pipe
there
course
with
all
that
fresh
air
right
in
there
and
that
first
step
took
all
the
it's
really
interesting
no
a
flue
goes
on
top
of
the
house
if
it
goes
out
the
top
you
know
they
put
the
flue
on
top
of
the
house
and
uh
run
the
pipe
up
through
it
made
a
flue
and
then
there's
no
danger
of
the
fire
catching
the
wood
this
flue
holds
a
pipe
a
way
away
from
the
wood
call
it
a
flue
uh
no
no
no
this
is
all
together
different
it's
it
it's
uh
stove
inside
you
got
a
flue
coming
up
through
the
top
to
protect
the
fire
from
the
wood
but
if
you
got
a
heater
instead
of
a
fireplace
you
had
to
have
this
flue
around
the
heater
duct
taped
to
it
yeah
well
they'd
call
it
a
a
setting
room
or
the
best
bedroom
other
words
it
would
be
the
nicest
one
on
the
place
they'd
we
always
give
our
guest
the
best
we
love
'em
and
we
try
to
treat
'em
the
best
we
know
how
and
can
at
them
times
and
so
uh
some
people
was
forced
'em
to
have
two
heats
two
chimneys
or
two
heaters
and
they
would
but
then
but
if
they
didn't
then
they'd
give
him
the
best
and
tidiest
room
they
had
and
give
'em
the
best
the
best
they
could
afford
and
give
'em
heavy
coat
such
as
quilts
comforts
called
comforts
quilts
uh
yeah
but
it's
hea
no
heavier
than
a
quilt
comfort's
heavier
than
a
quilt
and
uh
that'd
keep
'em
warm
this
day
and
time
though
we'd
give
'em
a
give
'em
electric
blanket
if
they
need
it
yeah
have
one
myself
now
these
here
still
does
not
patch
'em
but
build
'em
make
'em
yes
sir
they
got
quilting
they
do
that
everywhere
they
can't
feel
the
hours
yeah
still
demand
for
them
quilts
that's
yeah
most
of
the
quilts
now
are
light
you
know
now
them
old
comforts
too
heavy
too
m
too
much
to
tight
you
know
such
as
benches
yeah
yeah
my
grandfather
had
a
bench
on
his
front
porch
he
had
a
big
front
porch
like
this
and
he
had
a
bench
made
out
of
those
cypress
lumbers
from
the
river
swamp
and
it
would
sit
as
much
as
twelve
ten
or
twelve
people
grown
people
get
on
that
bench
and
it
was
made
outta
heavy
duty
stuff
and
it
was
just
tremendous
to
know
see
how
that
they
were
fixed
up
to
take
care
of
them
their
friends
and
the
ladies
coming
in
the
summer
they'd
put
'em
out
on
that
bench
just
have
a
nice
time
and
then
they'd
have
benches
short
benches
in
the
house
that
they
sit
'em
down
yeah
yeah
in
these
latter
days
later
days
yeah
they
have
padded
pad
uh
seats
for
'em
um
covered
seats
i
call
'em
and
makes
it
much
better
to
sit
on
but
i
don't
see
too
much
of
that
now
if
it's
especially
if
it's
a
big
porch
you're
gonna
have
chairs
out
like
this
to
sit
on
there
but
they
have
got
a
lot
of
chairs
inside
that
in
winter
around
the
fireplace
comes
in
have
an
awful
lot
of
company
it's
a
wonder
they
ain't
got
somebody
drove
up
to
there
this
morning
on
a
monday
morning
they
had
a
lotta
cars
for
the
uh
fine
people
they
treat
everybody
right
they
even
can
for
'em
i
see
a
lot
in
these
old
gullies
now
throwed
away
these
couches
them
things
that
they
throwed
away
they
used
'em
'til
they're
come
up
with
modern
more
things
better
ones
that's
the
way
they
did
'em
they
carried
'em
to
the
shop
gullets
somewhere
if
that
made
'em
quit
all
that
now
i've
heard
of
yeah
i've
heard
of
that
i
i'd
like
to
see
that
sight
that'd
be
pretty
good
to
see
well
i
don't
know
i
call
mine
a
junk
room
whenever
i
get
it
full
like
that
uh
antique
or
in
other
words
uh
some
people
wants
to
keep
everything
i've
even
heard
of
'em
keeping
uh
cooking
soda
boxes
arm
and
hammer
cooking
soda
boxes
stack
them
back
and
everything
they
can
get
a
hold
to
uh
uh
just
enough
to
throw
away
i
call
it
s
uh
selectors
selecting
stuff
you
know
i
call
them
selectors
hell
i'm
pretty
bad
about
such
as
that
myself
that
little
old
house
out
there
you'd
be
surprised
the
stuff
i
got
put
in
there
i'd
uh
i
it's
useful
though
i
think
it's
useful
it
will
be
it's
can
be
and
is
different
things
i
got
my
fruit
in
there
too
i've
heard
the
old
saying
if
you
got
something
that
you
oughta
throw
away
say
just
keep
it
seven
years
and
you'll
have
a
use
for
it
i've
heard
that
you
know
but
that's
superstitious
i
reckon
we're
getting
into
that
superstitious
business
and
i
don't
care
too
much
about
it
superstitious
you
know
keep
things
that
long
and
every
oh
yeah
graveyard

something
else
boy
yeah
i've
heard
a
that
mm
hmm
uh
ghosts
yeah
hearing
and
seeing
ghosts
and
all
that
uh
i
heared
it
this
old
fella
one
time

along
and
uh
he
heared
something
at
uh
out
in
the
graveyard
and
there
was
telling
he
wa
there
was
two
men
at

gonna
separate
the
peo
and
he
was
in
the
cemetery

heared
'em
talking
at
the
gate

separate
the
people
and
he
said
me
one
and
you
one
me
one
and
you
one
and
he
didn't
know
what
they
were
doing
and
he
he
got
mighty
uneasy
thought
it
was
a
it's
either
some
god
separating
the
people
taking
the
good
and
the
bad
and
he
got
awful
upset
about
i
heard
that
you
know
uh
that
that
that
was
one
of
the
stories
ghost
stories
and
he
couldn't
imagine
what
it
was
and
he
eventually
got
away
i
think
and
run
ran
away
and
left
him
and
they
were
going
on
something
there
for
a
cause
but
i
never
did
know
what
they
cause
was
get
haunted
yeah
haunted
yeah
yes
sir
i've
heard
a
lot
of
that
ghost
stories
yeah
i've
heard
of
houses
being
haunted
and
uh
they
would
see
uh
things
at
night
would
fog
would
come
around
and
uh
see
all
kinds
of
things
and
hear
things
wallow
about
in
the
house
haunted
you
know
they
believe
in
that
yeah
no
i
don't
believe
in
all
that
stuff
no
i
don't
if
i
hear
something
i'll
find
out
what
it
is
if
i
can't
well
well
done
anyway
i
don't
run
off
i
hadn't
so
far
something
could
come
around
give
me
a
fright
but
i
don't
think
it
would
well
that's
a
pretty
deep
question
but
i
think
i
can
answer
you
yeah
no
difference
i
know
of
yeah
they
call
him
satan
uh
all
kinds
of
old
names
or
most
call
him
old
uh
red
eyes
and
old
s
devil
with
horns
and
i
don't
know
what
all
they
call
it
i
hear
the
lady
not
far
from
here
some
sweet
little
children
at
the
home
and
she
went
in
the
house
she
was
outside
and
she
got
a
move
on
him
called
'em
little
devils
when
they
run
out
the
door
and
i
i
thought
about
just
there
and
that
and
you
know
that
just
broke
my
heart
that
just
broke
my
heart
that
wasn't
no
way
to
approach
a
little
child
you
know
why
so
much
meanness
going
on
now
most
children
and
growing
up
because
they
wasn't
never
teaching
t
teached
at
home
uh
the
right
thing
they've
always
been
scorned
they've
always
been
uh
homes
like
that
you
know
come
outta
homes
like
that
and
you
can't
expect
nothing
else
bu
but
crime
or
now
because
you
never
have
been
taught
no
better
and
what
what
a
little
child's
looking
for
when
it's
comes
becomes
to
be
walking
you
might
say
of
a
little
baby
it's
looking
for
somebody
to
tend
it
take
it
up
with
tender
love
and
have
mercy
with
it
and
raise
it
like
it
ought
to
be
and
uh
some
chi
when
man
and
woman's
joined
together
they
should
be
joined
together
in
the
lord
to
where
that
they'll
know
by
the
bible
how
to
raise
a
family
and
you
know
it
just
tears
my
heart
to
think
about
we
have
scriptures
telling
us
how
and
what
to
do
about
these
little
children
and
raise
'em
up
in
the
way
you'd
have
'em
to
go
and
then
they
won't
depart
from
us
you
see
well
if
i
ain't
got
it
myself
how
can
i
and
this'll
run
back
to
the
fourth
or
fifth
generation
if
not
come
up
right
