Hinkley Buzzards
Hinkley Buzzards
It was in 1808, at the gallows at the bend
Along the Rocky River around the foot of ledges when
The Wyandot Indians hung a squaw for witchcraft ways
And buzzards came to gather; even in these modern days
Each year in Hinkkley Township, March 15 to be exact
The buzzards all return to roost and always right on track
The legend of these buzzards is known both far and wide
Are they searching for that old squaw that was hung on that hill side
No other explanation has ever made much sense
But rest assured 15th of March, their arrival will commence
