Some people in Kentucky have trouble with all those “shalls” and “shall nots” in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren’t used to talking in those terms. So, some folks in Southeastern Kentucky got together and translated the “King James” into “HarlanCounty” language… No joke, read on… The Hillbilly’s Ten Commandments (posted on the wall at Trails Church in Harlan , Ky.)
(1) Just one God
(2) Honor yer Ma &Pa
(3) No tellin’ tales or gossipin’
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin’
(5) Put nothin’ before God
(6) No foolin’ around with another fellow’s gal
(7) No killin’
(8) Watch yer mouth
(9) Don’t take what ain’t yers
(10) Don’t be hankerin’ for yer buddy’s stuff
Now that’s kinda plain an’ simple, don’t ya think? Y’all have a nice day.
