This word, generally pronounced cain', without the t, is the negative of "can" for those who habitually drop a stop at the end of a word if a consonant follows, as in southern American English. The vowel has to be shifted from a short a to a long a in order to make the distinction.
I cain't (cain') go to town tonight.
