Yuns is supposed to be a contraction - You ones, or you'ns just like y'all stands for you all.
The bad word insert is funny. I guess it's like my teacher used to say ain ' t ain ' t a word.

Read the capital letters for the first part.
Read the lower case letters for the last part.
The rest is logic. The both of us doesn't fit inside this town.

This reminds me of my Georgia raised grandfather when he would say to a stray dog that wandered into the yard, "Gitonouttaheah!" through his nose.
