PART TWO
BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN
I don’t mind them graveyards, and it ain’t ’cause I’m no kind of brave;
Said I don’t mind no graveyard, but I ain’t no man that is brave.
’Cause the ghosts of the past, they are harder to face than anything comes from a grave.
—A. L. Sirois and Kindred Spirit, “Ghost Road Blues”
You ain’t hearing nothing, don’t mean nothing’s going down,
You ain’t hearing nothing, don’t mean nothing’s going down
You ain’t hearing nothing…don’t mean the Devil done left town.
—Oren Morse, “Silent Night Blues”
