"Down Yonder" Luke Barker says... Trees Begin t' Re-Leaf

Down Yonder - Luke Barker says... Trees Begin to Re-Leaf      It 'pears t' me thet our goverment is run half-hearted, but Reek Cressy sez he believes thet it ain't any heart at all when it comes t' taxes.
     Th' nearest thing t' farm relief is spring when th' trees begin t' re-leaf.



Translation for city slickers (non-hill people):

     It appears to me that our government is run half-heartedly, but Reek Cressy said, he believes that there is no heart at all when it comes to taxes.
     The nearest thing to farm relief is spring, when the trees begin to re-leaf.
