about

A little murder ballad for spooky season. Content warning: implied possible CSA.

lyrics

Come walk with me in the woods my love
I want to lay you down
The evening is cool, and hot is my blood
So let me lay you down

I know a sweet place
Where we can embrace
Only there I'll lay you down

Just a little farther down this path
Is where I'll lay you down
Where the moonlight spills out on the grass
And the fireflies dance around

Where no one can see
Only just you and me
As I lay your body down

I promise, love, we're drawing near
And I will lay you down
Take another pull of this 'shine, my dear
Before I lay you down

You sway with the trees,
Feel weak in the knees
It's almost time to lay you down

You see the hole I've dug in the earth for you
That's where I'll lay you down
For I saw last night, how you were untrue
And laid another down

I wouldn't care if you strayed
with somebody your age
but now I've got to lay you down

You could have had your fun
But that girl was much too young,
So it's time to lay you down.
