Ghost of The Girl

by Misk Hills Mountain Rambler III

/

about

A true story of the tormented visions of a whisky drinker in the Bagthorpe hollow . . . They say there's a ghost that walks the lane near Wansley Hall . . . and if you drink too much whisky . . . You might just encounter her!

lyrics

I spied her first down that green lane
Down by the brook where the children do play
I can still see how the wind blew her hair
I can still smell . . . . the perfume she’d wear

The wind it did blow and the Raven did call
And the rain it did fall as she passed Wansley Hall
That falling rain, soaked her calico dress
And I knew then . . . . . that my mind was a mess

CHORUS

The ghost of the girl from down Wansley Lane
She came to me, time and again
That ghost of the girl from down Wansley Lane
Perhaps it was the whisky coursing my veins

In the waters of the brook, you renounced all your lies
As the Preacher man, did you baptise
Well you asked for help, from the Lord up above
Oh won’t someone help me . . . to find my first love

That night I had me a terrible dream
Saw burning tractors, fall in that stream
Hay stacks on fire, I heard all the screams
That sweet little girl . . . I felt all her pain

Chorus

The Ghost of the girl, still walks down the lane
The brook it still flows all swollen with rain
Sometimes I hear that Raven calling again
The scent of her perfume . . . is all that remains
