"Down Yonder" Luke Barker says... Suffer with Corns
|
I recollect with sweetness when we looked foward t' th' first break o' winter when th' sap begin t' run an' th' b'ilin 0' maple sirup started. Ole Ebenzer Bush would ruther suffer with his corns then t' remove 'em claims thet t' remove 'em claims thet he'd loose his power ez a weather prophet without them. Translation for city slickers (non-hill people): I remember with sweetness when we looked forward to the first break of winter when the tree sap begins to run, and the beginning of maple syrup started. Ole Ebenezer Bush would rather suffer with his corns than to have them removed. He claims that he would loose his power as a weather prophet without them. |
