Subject: Southern Ten Commandments
No joke (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, TN) This is
much easier to remember !!!
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.
(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 stuff
Now that's plain an' simple.
Y'all have a nice day now ya hear!
And bless yer little heart....
I much prefer the new language. Simple and right to the point!
