They Hear the Devil From the Wall
weird sounds were coming through the wall
they were faint and often disturbing
once in the night
i heard what sounded like large strong talons
scratching at the wall
" scratch, scratch, scratch:scratch!"
lord what must I do
these talons sound like
"the devil himself was coming through the wall
to cause me devish-will.
pray ye god
to cause this satan ill
that he might suffer from
your awesome power my God, My God
the devil is coming through the wall"
she yelled!
bump, bump:bump:bump!
"they banging she heard
they sound like wolves stalking sheep,
this is the lucifer of Salem,
the devil himself!"
ye my God, might you
spare us: ye my God, might you spare us!"
one day the lady got enough nerve to ask the gentlemen next
door,
"Sir, if you will can I have a moment of your
time?" Yes, he said kindly, es you may have a moment of my time!
smiling the lady asked, at night do you hear loud bumping and scratching sounds?
He look startled, saying know, their's a ghost or something in the wall of our apartment,, a witching woman who cry's
out to god, often, my wife and i have to stop making love to calm the voice of this devish woman!
