Down Yonder - Luke Barker says... Plumbing and Piano Tuning      Th' piano instructor moved over th' plumbin' shop an' now ya can't tell which one is at work frum t' sound.
     Th' fellar thet never made a mistake never made a discovery, yet some fellars mistakes hez been so bad thet they warn't har fer th' discovery.



Translation for city slickers (non-hill people):

     The piano instructor moved in over to the plumber's shop, and now you can't tell which one is at work from the sound.
     The person that never made a mistake, never made a discovery. Yet, some mistakes are so bad they weren't far from the discovery.
