With the body in the wagon
Me and Doc rode through the town
looking up and down the street
not a soul was left around
The Doc gave out a chuckle
"These superstitious fools
They might as well pull this wagon
they're as bright as this old mule"
We reached the edge of town
there I spied a big ole hill
In the moonlight I saw crosses
as I felt a sudden chill
All theses wooden crosses
not a headstone in the lot
They looked to be quite recent
which gave me food for thought
"Doc, it seemed you had more death here
was it plague or like tonight"
The Doc just looking forward
with glowing eyes, and lips shut tight
It was a little erie,
riding up that graveyard hill
and we rode up to a spot
were the old mule now stood still
I jumped out of the wagon
but the Doc kept sitting there
"Are you all right" I asked him
He just turned his head and stared
To be continued
Whoopi Kyoooooooooooooo!
