Sally In the Wood
long ago 'twas colonel brownes' folly
to build a tower in a wood
just for employment and to be jolly
had he known, surely he never would
the folly still stands with no penitence
yet gypsy girl Sally was locked in there
imprisoned without sustinence
left to die without any care
no birds nest now in this woodland
flying by with no song it seems
many see Sally's ghost first hand
and hear her piercing screams
a road winds through this wood now
the darkness chills you to the bone
eight fatal car crashes, not known how
but it is said Sally is no longer alone
