Down An Old Dirt Lane
Down an old dirt lane where gnarled oak trees grew
there lived a witch. Some called her crazy too.
It was said that often she was making stew.
What was in that stew? Not one person knew!
Here is the story I believe is true.
The dog in her yard had big bones to chew.
Where he got those bones, we had not a clue!
We’d see strangers vanish; next, cold winds blew
the stew’s strong smell through town. I’m telling you
we stayed clear of her house and dog named BOO!
