House of Horror

Twisted and broken my bones be a jangling. 

Crying and screaming for my body be a hanging 

 Cheers and a chuckling as the klan be a sanging

Music to his ears as the echoes be a ranging

 So deep was the South

So cozy was the house

Im cold in the grave

Just a boy for me to save

He was buried and drowned in that cave 

Animal on his back ,is what they engraved 

If grownups could only behave

I never whistled at her mister but I told you I waved.
