Hillbilly Language

I've just come to realize Probably some of you don't know How to speak the hillbilly language So, I'll show you how to give it a go We call them crayfish, crawdads Cause they're not really a fish at all A skunk we call a polecat You better run and hope you don't fall You say you all, we say ya'll We just shortened it a bit You say potato, we say tater Are you startin to get the hang of it We call a bag a paper sack And sometimes it a poke We say wanna hear a funny But you say wanna hear a joke Pretty close to you is pert near to us And the devil is the booger man Your bathroom is our outhouse And a skillet is a frying pan These are a few of the words we use Almost everyday I'll teach you more Hillbilly Language The next time I pass your way
