Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

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
