[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?
