_ _ _ _ You like [D] that?
[C] Yes, I do.
You [D] know what, the eight of [C] diamonds is delay and the ace of spades [N] is death.
Yeah.
So that sort of goes in with the two rows, doesn't it?
I learned that from the carnival.
From who?
Carnival.
I used to travel to carnival.
I used to speak to those things all the time.
Oh, you can read cards too?
I can't read cards.
I really believe in palm reading.
But for a bunch of personal things, personal experiences, I don't believe too much in the cards.
I like to think I don't believe too much in the cards.
So you go out of your way not to get them read so you won't believe them.
Yeah.
_ How long were you with the carnival?
I was with the carnival off and on.
Six years.
What were you doing?
Oh, just about everything. _
_ I was a clean up boy.
I used to be on the main line on a Ferris wheel.
I used to run rides.
I used to do all kinds of stuff like that.
Didn't that interfere with your schooling?
Well, I skipped a bunch of things and I didn't go to school a bunch of years and I skipped this and skipped that.
That's what I figured.
_ All came out even though. _ _
_ You were going to sing another blues you said?
Oh yeah.
I'll sing you this one.
This is a nice slow one.
[B] I learned this.
You know Ralph [C] Rensler?
Sure.
[E] [D] I learned this sort of thing from him.
[G] A version of this.
I got the idea from him. _ _ _
This _ _ isn't a blues. _ _
