[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Where the Schuylkill bends and bends again in the shade of Klapperthal
F C
She lived, she died, but lives once more in the night's plutonic pall
G7 F
They called her "hag", they called her "wench", they teased her with their taunts
G7 F
And down along that riverbank is where they say she haunts
[Verse 2]
C
She led a sad and solitary isolated life
F C
Alone within her hovel, never mother, never wife
G7 F
Strange powers, she was said to have, to heal and to harm
G7 F
Some thought she was a sorceress who wielded evil charms
[Chorus]
C
When dark clouds loom over Neversink, it's said her spirit roams
F G7 C
The witch of the Schuylkill, the wicked river crone
[Verse 3]
C
In the dead of night, some spied her in an evil reverie
F C
Surrounded by a sinister and strange menagerie
G7 F
Around her hermitage, there lurked weird creatures, snakes and owls
G7 F
They rose in a cacophony of screeches, hoots and howls
[Verse 4]
C
No mortal dared to venture to this ghastly, gruesome lair
F C
For fear of being lured into the wicked witch's snare
G7 F
But was this woman really vile or just misunderstood?
G7 F
A vixen or a victim there in the gloomy wood?
[Chorus]
C
When dark clouds loom o'er Neversink, it's said her spirit roams
F G7 C
The witch of the Schuylkill, the wicked river crone
[Verse 5]
C
It wasn't very long ago, on a night so cold and black
F C
Some foolish souls did wander down to find the witch's shack
G7 F
Through thickets, thorns and thunderstorms, they clamored to the stream
G7 F
When from the river's bank they heard a shrill blood-curdling scream
[Verse 6]
C
They cowered there together as the cackles echoed out
F C
It was the river witch, they knew; of that, there was no doubt
G7 F
Determined to discover what made that shrident shriek
G7 F
They trudged ahead and stood aghast at a scene not for the meek
[Chorus]
C
When dark clouds loom o'er Neversink, it's said her spirit roams
F G7 C
The witch of the Schuylkill, the wicked river crone
[Verse 7]
C
The rumpled, ragged recluse lay sleeping, so they deemed
F C
But on close examination, 'twas not what it had seemed
G7 F
For yes, that wicked woman lay silent in her bed
G7 F
But the intruders soon discovered that the wretched witch was dead
[Verse 8]
C
Horrified, the visitors rushed out into the night
F C
But as they fled back through the woods, they saw a ghastly sight
G7 F
The witch's ghost was glaring down with glowing crimson eyes
G7 F
And with one last cackle, up she soared and vanished in the sky
[Chorus]
C
When dark clouds loom o'er Neversink, it's said her spirit roams
F G7 C
The witch of the Schuylkill, that wicked river crone
[Outro]
