You'm don't want to be c humming a river

Hi, does anyone happen to know what “You’m” stands for in the following sentence?

You’m don’t want to be chumming a river.

Many thanks.

So, with a quick Google search it seems it’s a contraction of you and am. Which is of course not something I’ve ever heard before and I’m from the south. Where we contract everything. However, something that does make sense is “Yes’m.” Which used to be a common saying for Yes ma’am. I don’t really hear it anymore if I’m honest though.
