Howdy Folks,

and he sing these word on de end of each verses.

Can someone tell me, what the meaning of the word "on'ry" is ?

On'ry is short for ornery. An ornery person is someone who is stubborn and has a bad temper.

Hey Gary! I looked the definition on Wikipedia, and they have your picture to define ornery.

Pete... ROFL... That would be me. The only one more ornery than me was my ex-wife.
