Wood pressure keeps me from remembering so well* 01 lady where's my pipe?<br />

You didn't find it up to danger's? Ain't it in the kitchen? Can't you find<br />

it nowheres? Whut didju do with it? Well, you needn f t look for it no longer.<br />

It's here in my pocket* That's ray h£gh "blood pressure workin* *hat whut it<br />

does to you*<br />

"I "belong to the Primitive Baptist Church and have been belonging to it<br />

altogether about sixty-three years. I used to be a Missionary. I been a<br />

member <strong>of</strong> the church a long time*"<br />

T, I think times are jus fulfilling the Bible* The people are wiser now<br />

than we ever known them to be and wickeder. I don't believe the times you<br />

see now will be always. People are getting so wise and so wicked that I<br />

think the end is near at hand. You notice the Germans now are trying to<br />

make slaves out <strong>of</strong> the Jews. There's the Japans that is jus slaughtering<br />

up the Chinese like they was nothin but dumb brutes. The world is wickeder<br />

than it ever has been before.<br />

"The young people to day I I f d hate to tell you what I do think <strong>of</strong> them*<br />

The business is going to fall."<br />
