[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Where the Schuylkill bends and bends again in the shade of Klapperthal
She lived, she died, but lives once more in the night's plutonic pall
They called her "hag", they called her "wench", they teased her with their taunts
And down along that riverbank is where they say she haunts
[Verse 2]
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
Some thought she was a sorceress who wielded evil charms
[Chorus]
When dark clouds loom over Neversink, it's said her spirit roams
The witch of the Schuylkill, the wicked river crone
[Verse 3]
In the dead of night, some spied her in an evil reverie
Surrounded by a sinister and strange menagerie
G7 F
Around her hermitage, there lurked weird creatures, snakes and owls
They rose in a cacophony of screeches, hoots and howls
[Verse 4]
No mortal dared to venture to this ghastly, gruesome lair
For fear of being lured into the wicked witch's snare
But was this woman really vile or just misunderstood?
A vixen or a victim there in the gloomy wood?
[Chorus]
When dark clouds loom o'er Neversink, it's said her spirit roams
The witch of the Schuylkill, the wicked river crone
[Verse 5]
It wasn't very long ago, on a night so cold and black
Some foolish souls did wander down to find the witch's shack
Through thickets, thorns and thunderstorms, they clamored to the stream
When from the river's bank they heard a shrill blood-curdling scream
[Verse 6]
They cowered there together as the cackles echoed out
It was the river witch, they knew; of that, there was no doubt
Determined to discover what made that shrident shriek
They trudged ahead and stood aghast at a scene not for the meek
[Chorus]
When dark clouds loom o'er Neversink, it's said her spirit roams
The witch of the Schuylkill, the wicked river crone
[Verse 7]
The rumpled, ragged recluse lay sleeping, so they deemed
But on close examination, 'twas not what it had seemed
For yes, that wicked woman lay silent in her bed
But the intruders soon discovered that the wretched witch was dead
[Verse 8]
C
Horrified, the visitors rushed out into the night
But as they fled back through the woods, they saw a ghastly sight
The witch's ghost was glaring down with glowing crimson eyes
And with one last cackle, up she soared and vanished in the sky
[Chorus]
When dark clouds loom o'er Neversink, it's said her spirit roams
The witch of the Schuylkill, that wicked river crone
[Outro]
