The Legend of Rosella Crow

Now back in the hollar
in the old bayou
lived an old woman
who no body knew

if you ever went huntin'
up high on the ridge
you could see her smoke risin'
past the old steel bridge

(voice)Rosella..............

you can feel the hair stand up on your neck
your pulse is risin', your palms are wet
even your hound dog stays by your side
you find yourself lookin' for places to hide
Dark Hollow's a place you'd rather not be
still you can't help wantin' to see
Rosella...Rosella Crow

Never came to town..but
once'd or twice a year
had a big gold ring
hangin' off one ear

If she had any teeth
was anybody's guess
but she sure was a sight
in her calico dress

(voice)Rosella....

you can feel the hair stand up on your neck
your pulse is risin', your palms are wet
even your hound dog stays by your side
you find yourself lookin' for places to hide
Dark Hollow's a place you'd rather not be
still you can't help wantin' to see
Rosella.....Rosella Crow

so if you ever find yourself back in Dark Hollow
and you see some smoke and a light to follow
you might wanna think about goin' back home
'cause old Rosella likes to rome.....these parts
I have to admit as far as legends go
she's never hurt anybody that I know

But still.....

you can feel the hair stand up on your neck
your pulse is risin', your palms are wet
even your hound dog stays by your side
you find yourself lookin' for places to hide
Dark Hollow's a place you'd rather not be
still you can't help wantin' to see
Rosella......Rosella Crow..
