Still and all
I really enjoy the self-conscious (intentional) use of ungrammatical phrases, particularly if they belong to the general category of "hick" usage. I only hope that my reader is also aware of the intentionality of such usage. Although s/he is free to take another interpretation.
Another favorite expression of mine is, "Lord willin' and the crick don't rise."
