You go get you some luoky seed. I'll get you a piece of lodestone.

(What are lucky seed?) A lucky seed. (What's that?)

It's a lucky bean, they calls it. And you get you a piece of lodestone.

(What does that lucky bean look like?)

It looks something like a pink bean - beans.

(Is it a real bean?)

No sir, it ain't a real bean - it's a bean but it ain't a real bean.

(What's it made of?)

It's hard, chew can break it.

(All right, then what do you do?)

Now, you get you a piece of lodestone - you get she lodestone, and you get you some gunpowder and you get you a piece of red flannel and you put all that to- gether, and a little cayenne pepper and stuff, and put it in that bag and sew it up and put it in your pocket. That's lucky.

(For gambling?)
