Now, you take that [hat] bow and you puts it in a enve- lope, you see. And after you puts it in an envelope, you takes a black candle and you light that candle and you write your name, you see, and lay your name in there, you see, with that bow, and you burn that candle on it, you see. When you burn the candle on it, well, that'll get you - it don't do you no harm, but it get you the headache. You always suffering with the headache all the time - misery of the head.

(Do you mean if I were burning it to someone I would write my name on it?)
