Way back in the Ozark mountains.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There are some \u2018rednecks\u2019 living there.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The census taker can\u2019t count them.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He is told: \u00a0\u2018Don\u2019t enter. Beware.\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The rumors, taken all in fun.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Say the \u2018rednecks\u2019 are inbred.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They will greet you with a gun.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The women want a man to wed.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Most stay clear of going there.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just in case the rumor is true.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A \u2018redneck\u2019 gal is too much to bare.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She will rape you fore she\u2019s through.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Some city slickers went there fishing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They were not seen for some time.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They\u2019d rather be dead than just missing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What happened to them was a major crime.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They wouldn\u2019t talk about it at all.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They walked like a corncob was up their ass.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If pushed, they just started to bawl.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Given the chance, they got out fast.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They only gave this final warning.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t go into the Ozark mountains.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be raped every night and morning.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll squeal like a pig. It is their way of courting.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
