  THE LEGEND OF THE HAUNTED WOODS

  Recorded by Mac Wiseman

  Words and music by Mac Wiseman

  

  [D] In olden times, there was a river

  Run be-[G] tween two mountain [D] walls

  And the [G] place from where it [D] started

  Was a [A7] place called Haunted [D] Falls.

  

  [D] On the waters of this river

  Sailed man-[G] y a light can-[D] oe

  And the [G] stream, it danced about [D] them

  When the [A7] summer skies were [D] blue.

  

  On its banks there lived a white man

  With his wife and children, three

  And their shouts of pain and sorrow

  Echoed with their shouts of glee.

  

  To the little town, the father

  For the mail, one day had gone

  Left his wife and loving babies

  For one quiet hour alone.

  

  Hark! the sound of tramping horses

  Sends the mother, turned to fright

  Just in time to draw the doorbolt

  When four indians rode in sight.

  

  CHANGE TO E:

  [E] Then she quickly kissed the children

  Bade them [A] neither speak nor [E] cry

  Placed them [A] in a secret [E] closet

  Then pre-[B7] pared herself to [E] die.

  

  [E] With one cruel push, the captain

  Flung the [A] bolt from off the [E] door

  Grabbed her [A] by her long, brown [E] tresses

  Dragged her [B7] to river [E] shore.

  

  There they sang and danced about her

  Paid no heed to her pitious cry

  Threw her on the rocks beneath them

  Then in agony, she died.

  

  Was revenge that they had wanted

  Was revenge they had found

  When they burned those weeping babies

  With the dwelling, to the ground.

  

  Now an old man sadly wanders

  'Round the place where the dwelling stood

  And the people of that city

  Call that place, - The - Haunted - Woods.
