Ah know a fellah, he was going with the same girl another fellah was goin' with and they was good pals. Well, dis girl she likeded dis fellah cause he had curly hair. See, de other fellah, she liked him a little bit but his hair wasn't as good as the other fellah's; and she re'lly said that if his hair was as good as the other fellah's, she'd like him. So dis fellah he went to a ole Indian woman [colored woman wearing a turban?] heah at Palm Beach and she told him that if he would take salt, sprinkle it all over that man head while he asleep or somepin at night fer at least a week - said dat dat man hair would grad'lly fall out. And he tried it and de fellah's hair re'lly fell out. [For person wearing turban, see Doctor English.]
