Fatal Flower Garden
Enchanting Tale: Temptation in a Rain-Kissed Garden
Lyrics
It rained, it poured, rained so hard
Heavy rain, a downpour
Rained so hard all day
Continuous rain throughout the day
Till all the boys in our school
Boys from the school gather to socialize
They came out to talk and play
Engagement in conversation and play
And they tossed the ball
Playing ball with varying heights
Again so high, then again so low
Ball movement described
Till it fell into a flower garden
Ball lands in a flower garden, off-limits
No one's allowed to go
No one is allowed to enter the garden
When a tipsy gypsy lady
Gypsy lady in colorful attire appears
All dressed in yellow and green
Descriptive details of her clothing
Says, ?Come here, come here
Invites the boy to retrieve his ball
My pretty little boy and get your ball again?
Using charm to entice the boy
?No, I won't come in and I say ain't coming
The boy refuses, insists on playmates
Without my playmates all
He won't enter without his friends
I'm gonna get my father and tell him about it
Threatens to inform his father
And then the tears shall fall?
Anticipates tears and consequences
Well, first she offered an apple sweet
Gypsy lady offers an apple
And then a tangerine
Followed by a tangerine
Then she offered him a diamond
Offers a tempting diamond
That seemed to do the trick
Diamond persuades the boy to enter
That enticed him in
The diamond successfully attracts him
Well, she took him by his lilly-white hand
She takes the boy by his hand
And she led him through the hall
Leads him through a hall
She took him to an upper room
Takes him to an isolated upper room
Where no one could hear him call
No one can hear him call for help
No, not a soul
Emphasizes the solitude of the room
Bury the Bible at my feet
Mentions burying the Bible at his feet
The testament at my head
Burying the testament at his head
If my dear father should call for me
If his father calls, say he's dead
Won't you tell him that I am dead
Expresses a desire for deception
Bury the Bible at my head
Repetition of burying, with reversed order
And the testament at my feet
Reversed order of burial instructions
If my dear mother should call for me
If his mother calls, tell her he's asleep
Won't you tell her that I'm asleep
Deception to keep his whereabouts secret
