Tell a story

I’m so confused I don’t know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt.

Now that’ll throw yer hat in the creek.

It’s so hot I could spit fire.

Her apron’s ridin’ high.

He’s shorter than a mouse hole.

It's gonna be a gully washer.

If the Lord’s willing and the creeks don’t rise.

As stubborn as a blue-nose mule and as busy as a cranberry merchant.

Spread the table.

To have treed the coon

She'll be late to her own funeral.

Don’t care to.

What goes over the Devil’s back comes back over his belly.

Barefooted as a yard dog.

She’d make a freight train take a dirt road.

That man ain't got the decency to die.

In high cotton

Can’t hear thunder

Well, knock me down and call me 'Shorty'!

She’s so ugly her feet wouldn’t go to bed with her!
