"Down Yonder" Luke Barker says... Best Way to Remove Tonsils

Down Yonder - Luke Barker says... Best Way to Remove Tonsils      I recolect back when we had t' listen t' barkin' horses with th' heaves on cold mornins' now its autobyles trin' t' git started.
     Th' best way t' remove yer tonsils sez Constable Stump is t' take a swig o' Moonshine. Doc Tilt gits right up in th' air, sez thats competition.



Translation for city slickers (non-hill people):

     I remember when we had to listen to coughing horses heaving in the cold mornings, now it's cars trying to start.
     Constable Stump says that the best way to remove your tonsils, is to take a drink of Moonshine. Doc Tilt says, that's competition.
