The Bad Luck of the Impervious Shadow

They ain’t no luck on this place (20)
They ain’t no luck going be on no place where [two] of they own chillens name aint never spoke (20), [to save the compson] name from being a laughing stock in town (189)
[They] walked upon the belly of [their] shadow (61)
They aint no luck on this place (20)
Honey suckle was the saddest odor of all (107)
[And] The drowned man’s shadow was watching for him all the time (57)
Getting honeysuckle all mixed up in it as though it were not unbearable enough without that not unbearable enough (84)
Not unbearable enough (84)
They ain’t no luck in this place (20)
[They] walked upon the belly of [their] shadow (61) 
She smelled like trees (6) getting honeysuckle all mixed up in it (84)
They ain’t no luck in this place (20)
