about

Cornstalk

Well I ventured out to see the Belle of Lesage
Miss Mary Jo Dupree
But the rail man warned don't pass throught Cornstalk's field
Or it could be the end of me
Then he went on to tell me
Cornstalk's comin' I hear him in the trees
He's got that fiendish howl I hear him in the trees
He's gonna murder me, he's gonna terrorize me, he's gonna blow my mind
Cornstalk's comin' I hear him in the trees

Well the sun stood high as we crossed the brook
My hoss makin' solid time
But he through me at the edge of Hayman's field
Like he's all afraid of dyin'
Then it was like he went on to tell me
Cornstalk's comin' I see him in the wood
He's got those lantern eyes I think I see him in the wood
He's gonna murder me, he's gonna terrorize me, he's gonna blow my mind
Cornstalk's comin' I think I seen him in the wood

Well the air hung still there at the Dupree farm
Not a sign from man or beast
But when I found that blood there in the parlor room
I heard a board on the front porch creep
And then I knew deep down in my bones
Cornstalk done come I feel him 'hind the door
He got that crawl up my skin I feel him hind the door
He gonna murder me, he's gonna stalkify me, he's gonna whisper my name
Cornstalk done come I think I feel him hind the door
