Story of my life
Can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen
Homely in the cradle purty at the table.
You can stretch a duck's neck all day long; he ain't going to turn into a swan.
Does a one-legged duck swim in circles?
He done took the red off my candy cane.
Don't get higher than cutting okra or lower than digging taters.
