Spooky Woods

I came back from old spooky woods a brace of rabbits for our tea
My sweetheart would be waiting patiently for me
She was out on the porch, not in her rocker gently beckoning
But sprawled out on the floor her brains were dashed across the decking

She had a shotgun in her hands
A shotgun in her mouth
I was in old spooky woods when that shotgun blast rang out

In her note it said she'd been untrue with a harbour man named bill
She'd kept her shame for many months but she couldn't stand the guilt
By the time it got too hard to hide she couldn't confess what she'd done
Fearing the townsfolk and the baker offed the oven and the bun

She had a shotgun in her hands
A shotgun in her mouth
I was in old spooky woods when that shotgun blast rang out

So I went to the docks and I found Bill the harbour man
Walked him down old spooky woods with a shotgun, pick and shovel in my hands
I tossed the pick and shovel down told him 'You know what to do'
Six foot deep, six foot long and wide enough for two.

I had a shotgun in my hands
A shotgun in his mouth
I was in old spooky woods when that shotgun blast rang out

Having done my duty stamped down the final sod
I place a single flower to mark my sweethearts final resting spot
Then I return to our old house sit in her rocker on the porch
Watch the sun set on the woods and I'll remember show things were

I'll take a look around I'll remember my sweetheart
I'll see the rabbits hanging up that will never get cooked
And then I'll finish up my whiskey and I'll set the bottle down
With a flick of the wrist I'll calmly torch the house
Then I'll start walking...

And with a shot gun in my hands
A shotgun in my mouth
I was in old spooky woods with that shotgun

With a shot gun in my hands
A shotgun in my mouth
I was in old spooky woods when that shotgun blast rang out.
