Wow, it's quiet as a graveyard in here.
Anybody (okay, pun intended) have any ideas for a Halloween barn dance
line-up?

Here is a good halloween song for you KateH. I wrote this about 5 years
ago. Can't send you the music but it is in the key of A minor. Here are
the words:
THE WITCH'S DREAM
Now listen to me children, be careful how you play
There's dangers all about you take the straight and narrow way
The Tarot's not just a deck of cards, there is no golden road
Just a trail of pain and sorrow, till you cannot bear the load
CHORUS
The witch's dream is endless you can hear the mournful sound
As the darkness wraps about you hear the wail of Satan's hounds
Down pitch black halls the demon calls at the devils you will scream
There's no escape no road to take, if your caught in the witch's dream
The Ouji board is not a toy leave the witches to their brew
Familiar spirits lay in wait, just to plant their hooks in you
No more on earth you will enjoy a comfort or a friend
Instead a witch's dream will be the passage to your end
Black Mirrors and black candles are the toolbox of the damned
The cauldrons are a gurgling you can hear that chilling sound
Night it is a fallin', the magic circle's drawn
The witches will be dreamin' until the break of dawn
C YA

Wow! Okay, that creeps me out....really nicely.
A few years ago, I made a mask of my face and built a life-size, witch with
it. She stands guard at the front door each Halloween, with her cauldron,
broom and dancing ghosts. Sounds like the perfect theme song for her! :)
Here's a Halloweeny-one I wrote a couple of years ago for an Irish news
group. The Irish New Year was just after Halloween..... long, long ago.
Then they have this whole thing about the "crossroads"....that's carried
over into so many bluegrass songs. Never thought to put it to music. :)
CROSSROADS
Standing at the crossroads
Paralyzed by fear
Neither fall nor winter
Neither there, nor here
The brand new year is dawning
Tomorrow with the sun
Tonight though, worlds collide
And the impact leads to fun
Of an otherwordly nature
An ethereal charade
When the spirits of the night
Come together to parade
Though most mortals pale and stay indoors
The children seem to glow
And cats and dogs will howl away
The night, as if they know
That tonight is somehow different
Than the next one or the last
And the future is as certain
As the dimly shadowed past
When the spirits of the night
Seemed delighted to step out
And they'd scare us, near to death
If we went wandering about
Or stood too near the crossroads
Paralyzed by fear
Neither dreaming nor awake
At the closing of the year.
Thanks, for sharing, Mitch!

I just learned that one. Great tune.....there's a good youtube site with
the Country Gentlemen performing it. Just ran across the Brown Mountain
Lights, too. Very cool and spookey.
Thanks!

Thanks! Hadn't thought about Pretty Polly. Darling Corey in that lonesome
graveyard.......she gives me goose bumps, too.
This is kind of fun ........any other ideas, folks?
"When the fog rolls in to Knoxville
And the river's on the rise
Don't go near the Knoxville Boy
There's murder in his eyes"
The Knoxville Boy... by Dixie and Tom T Hall, maybe?
Now......that's cool & very creepy.

Long Black Veil
Original Lyrics and Music by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin
[D]Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was [A]someone killed 'neath the [G]town hall [D]light
There were few at the scene, but they all agree
That the [A]slayer who ran looked a [G]lot like [D]me
The judge said son what is your alibi
If you were [A]somewhere else then [G]you won't have to [D]die
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I had [A]been in the arms of my [G]best friend's [D]wife
She [G]walks these [D]hills
In a [G]long black [D]veil
She [G]visits my [D]grave
When the [G]night winds [D]wail
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees,
[G]nobody [A]knows but [D]me
The [D]scaffold's high and eternity near
She [A]stood in the crowd and [G]shed not a [D]tear
But [D]sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
In a [A]long black veil she [G]cries o'er my [D]bones
She [G]walks these [D]hills
In a [G]long black [D]veil
She [G]visits my [D]grave
When the [G]night winds [D]wail
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees,
[G]nobody [A]knows but [D]me
[G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me
[G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me
