The Bell Witch

Back in Tennessee
I saw a family haunted by an entity
It was a tragedy in another century
Oh! They never would know
the evil one that came
Little Betsy, the age of 12
Living in a dream
The first one to scream
Oh! Oh!
Invisible hands
Leaving their mark in the dark
Night after night
The Bell witch attacked and attacked
Torturing Betsy
Until a circle was held in candle light
Tell us who you are!
Please, tell us who you are!
I am the air you breathe
I am the Bell witch!
I am a million years
I am the Bell witch!
The Bell witch decided
It was the time for the father to scream
Soon taken ill
Never again to leave his bed alive
Tell us who you are
Please, tell us who you are!
I am the air you breathe
I am the Bell witch!
I am a million years
I am the Bell witch!
Goodnight, John
See you in hell
Say bye-bye to daddy, Betsy
(Call the doctor!)
I made sure
(Call the doctor!)
There ain't no cure!
That night John he died
And the Bell witch never came again
Soon they realized
The witch had given John bad medicine
