Devil's Door

A Hundred-year-old rosewood door Was found today in an old liquor store. Buried Beneath the basement floor so, the story goes For a century she laid dead shot up with bullet holes and blood stains According to an old newspaper clipping, It was hung before the civil war and opened as a liquor store against the law without a judge or jury It opened its door that Sunday afternoon Creating such an uproar a hundred women or more stormed the liquor store and tore down that devil's door singing never more will you open your door.

Really liked the historical story told in rhyme. Could make a good song also.
