Child Snatcher's Curse
Child Snatcher's Curse: Witches Lurking in Shadows
Lyrics
Ghostly chill frosts the morning mist
There's a chilling, eerie atmosphere in the morning mist
Cobbled streets echo a witch's hiss
The streets have an ominous quality, akin to a witch's sound
Playground rumours slowly turn to truth
Rumors among kids are gradually becoming true
Children running frightened wondering what these witches will do
Children are scared and puzzled about the actions of these witches
Bonnie wasn't first, she won't be last
Bonnie wasn't the first victim, and sadly, won't be the last
Child snatchers curse has been riding this town for years
A curse targeting children has plagued this town for a long time
Ha Ha Ha
(Repetitive laughter indicating a sinister or mocking tone)
Ached for the boy pushed down the well
Feeling sorrow for a boy who fell down a well
No one heard him scream, no one heard him yell
No one was around to hear his distress
Just for the sake sake sake sake sake sake sake of it
The repetition emphasizes the senseless nature of the act
Billy was a ragdoll, Billy was inanimate
Billy was treated as if he was a lifeless object
Surely wasn't first they dragged him by the neck
Others had suffered similarly before
Child snatchers curse is coming for you next
Implying that the curse will target someone else soon
You ain't seen no witches around here?
Asking if there have been sightings of witches
Ahh you better keep your eyes peeled, cause they're lurking around every corner
Warning to be cautious as witches are seemingly everywhere
You don't believe me?
Challenging disbelief in the situation
Why don't you just go ask poor young Bonnie McGee?
Suggesting to inquire about Bonnie, who suffered a terrible fate
Ahh you can't, she's dead, hanging out by the apple tree blood dripping from her eyeballs
Describing Bonnie's gruesome death, indicating she cannot be asked
What about poor young Billy? Threw him down the well, broke every fucking bone on the way down
Describing the horrifying fate of Billy thrown down a well
Ha Ha Ha
(Repetitive laughter indicating a sinister or mocking tone)
Ho
Repetitive vocal sounds possibly indicating a chorus or mocking laughter
Ha
-Ho
-Ha
-Ho, Ha
-Ho, Ha
-Ho, Ha, Ho, Ha
-Ho, Ha, Ho, Ha Ho, Ha, Ho
-Ha Ha Ha
