Da Sawmill
Boudreaux wuz workin at a
small sawmill near da Chafalaya Spillway.
Dey wuz cuttin cypress trees an rippin dem up into planks fa da various
lumber yards in south Louisiana.
Everyday fa a solid week at quittin time, Boudreaux would come out da
sawmill gate rollin a weelbarrel full of sawdust an wood chips. Wen he
pas da gate guard, da guard would poke tru da sawdust to see if
Boudreaux wuz steelin anyting cus dat was his job.
Wen he didn fine nuttin but sawdust an wood chips he would let Boudreaux
pass.
Friday wuz payday an wen Boudreaux pick up his paycheck insted of goin
strate home he cash his paycheck an went to da local barroom
wit sum of his buddies to get a few cool ones.
Wile dey wuz drinkin, da guard walk in an start drinkin wit dem.After a
few drinks he look at Boudreaux an say, "Boudreaux, Ah'm no
fool me, Ah know you been steelin sumting frum dat sawmill. We not on da
job rite now, so tell me wat you been steelin, an Ah promise
Ah won't say nuttin to nobody. You got to tell me cus it's drivin me
