Shakespeare would disagree with categorizing this phrase as redneck. "What light through yonder window breaks"? Yonder is a reference to something in the distance. Down is the direction indicated. So, down yonder means something off in the distance in the direction indicated. This isn't an idiom or slang. It is literal. Even a redneck knows that.
