lirik lagu the witch of the schuylkill – charles j. adams iii
[verse 1]
where the schuylk!ll bends and bends again
in the shade of klapperthal
she lived, she died, but lives once more
in the night’s plutonic pall
they called her “hag”, they called her “wench”
they teased her with their taunts
and down along that riverbank
is where they say she haunts
[verse 2]
she led a sad and solitary
isolated life
alone within her hovel
never mother, never wife
strange powers, she was said to have
to heal and to harm
some thought she was a sorceress
who wielded evil charms
[chorus]
when dark clouds loom over neversink
it’s said her spirit roams
the witch of the schuylk!ll
the wicked river crone
[verse 3]
in the dead of night, some spied her
in an evil reverie
surrounded by a sinister
and strange menagerie
around her hermitage, there lurked
weird creatures, snakes and owls
they rose in a cacophony
of screeches, hoots and howls
[verse 4]
no mortal dared to venture to
this ghastly, gruesome lair
for fear of being lured into
the wicked witch’s snare
but was this woman really vile
or just misunderstood?
a vixen or a victim
there in the gloomy wood?
[chorus]
when dark clouds loom o’er neversink
it’s said her spirit roams
the witch of the schuylk!ll
the wicked river crone
[verse 5]
it wasn’t very long ago
on a night so cold and black
some foolish souls did wander down
to find the witch’s shack
through thickets, th*rns and thunderstorms
they clamored to the stream
when from the river’s bank they heard
a shrill blood*curdling scream
[verse 6]
they cowered there together
as the cackles echoed out
it was the river witch, they knew
of that, there was no doubt
determined to discover
what made that strident shriek
they trudged ahead and stood aghast
at a scene not for the meek
[chorus]
when dark clouds loom o’er neversink
it’s said her spirit roams
the witch of the schuylk!ll
the wicked river crone
[verse 7]
the rumpled, ragged recluse
lay sleeping, so they deemed
but on close examination
’twas not what it had seemed
for yes, that wicked woman
lay silent in her bed
but the intruder’s soon discovered
that the wretched witch was dead
[verse 8]
horrified, the visitors
rushed out into the night
but as they fled back through the woods
they saw a ghastly sight
the witch’s ghost was glaring down
with glowing crimson eyes
and with one last cackle, up she soared
and vanished in the sky
[chorus]
when dark clouds loom o’er neversink
it’s said her spirit roams
the witch of the schuylk!ll
that wicked river crone
