My comment:

You mean Southern US. A drawl is a way of speaking in a Southern accent, je dirais un accent trainant, “y’all” is a contraction of “you all”, a common expression here in the south, which can’t really be translated.

I would like to suggest a translator's note. Amplify the term "y'all" (you all), which has variants "You'uns" (Western Pennsylvania) and "Yous guys" (Eastern PA and other parts of Mid Atlantic), by some explanation in French that it means (Vous tous), or in fairly common Québecois (Vous autres)
