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.... no joke! (posted on the wall at
Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro,TN)
(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.
