I love watching this show....

Right or wrong I'm here to fight.

Unless you run away with fright And if you wonder who I be, It's me it's me, it's Ernest T. Whoo hoo.”

Old Aunt Maria, jump in the fi-ah,
Fire too hot, jump in the pot,
Pot to black, jump in the crack,
Crack to high, jump in the sky,
Sky to blue, jump in canoe,
Canoe too shallow, jump in the tallow,
Tallow too soft, jump in the loft,
Loft to rotten, jump in the cotton,
Cotton so white she stay there all night.

I believe Ernest T was only in 10 episodes but we sure do remember them.

I'll set you right in a jiffy about how to find a postum under a rock. You can go about it two ways you see, you light a fire or you jab at him with a long pointy stick.

[Cestratton]

What you want me to say for the ears?
Hush!!
Huuussshhh

Gelsick walk with me, Gelsick dance with me, Gelsick kiss my mouth.

I love the one where he was threatening to break a replacement window for one at the court house he had broke. And Barney broke the new window with his gun trying to get Earnest T to not brake it. Funny show.

Ol' man Kelsey's ocean...

He would kill you Barney

When they took Earnest T to the dance---- Barney looks around the room checking out the girls, and says to Andy; "Dogs, they're all dogs, fly a covey of quail through here and every one of them would point it."

Ernest T. Bass:
If a duck stood still you could catch him by the bill.

They say Don Knotts ad libbed most of the show. He was a funny guy.

Ernest T always rhymed....he was a character for sure. Even Otis ratted him out when he was at the court house. haahaa
