Irish Haunting

In the Emerald Isle Where leprechauns reside Banshees rule the nighttime With horrific cries But wandering upon this night The air was thick with mist I felt a tingle down my spine As something grabbed my wrist I turned so, in a hurry Expecting then a face As happiness had left my heart With fear it was replaced I quickly ran down, to an Inn I shot down three big drafts The keeper and the patrons They could not help but laugh For they then told the story Of a lass that passed away Some see her in the glen Others hear her, they just say But, I happened to be there 10 years to the day In the same location On this 15th day of May For on that day a decade ago Her new spouse bore a knife And brought it down upon her Taking away her life They say she keeps on trying To find that once true man To take his life, just as he did She now wanders o’er the land I was so damn frightened For that could have been me So I am never leaving here Cause I threw away their key
