Castle On a Hill

There is a castle on a hill where only bats abide Some say it's haunted still but none dare go inside They say the former resident was a lady known as Ann All her husbands died by "accident" She never kept a man (long) A stranger came to town one day looking for a thrill And so he made his way To the castle on the hill He never thought that ghost existed I guess he never knew But the townsfolk had insisted They knew it to be true As soon as he entered he felt a chill Like he'd never felt before He quickly regretted his decision As he stood frozen to the floor When as he looked up at the stairs He saw the ghost of Ann appear His voice was silenced by fear As he stood there looking pale He now wished this was a bad dream But it was as real as it seemed...... In a castle on a hill There lives a ghost named Ann It seems a stranger looking for thrills Has now become her man!
