"Down Yonder" Luke Barker says... Wall Street

Down Yonder - Luke Barker says... Wall Street      Wall street ain't th' only place where they have trouble with th' stock a fallin', Pokey Spriggs lost a good cow 'tother day when she fell over a cliff.
     Simpy Simmens won't go out in th' rain without his hat since he heard that th' constant dropin' o' water kin wear away th' stone.



Translation for city slickers (non-hill people):

     Wall Street isn't the only place where they have trouble with the stock falling, Pokey Spriggs lost a good cow the other day when she fell over a cliff.
     Simpy Simmens won't go out in the rain without his hat since he heard that the constant dropping of water can wear away the stone.
