   There was a wake one night in a certain house. He man of the house died, and his widow was crying and roaring and says she "why didn't they take me and leave him". Some fellows outside heard her at this and they plucked a turkey bare and let him in around the kitchen and he walked straight over to the widow in the corner. She thought it was her husband come back "oh" says she "take him and leave me, take him and leave me".
