lyrics

Along the dusty road there was a little wooden house
with no outward signs of anything wrong
It was the overgrown vine upon the northwest side
which was the reason nobody would stay.
With no obvious external cause,
on hot summer evenings, it would visibly agitate itself
And when the judge and the minister witnessed this for themselves
immediate action was decided upon:

So they went out with their pickaxes and shovels
came back with nothing but psychological troubles.
And though they say the vine’s no longer animated
the house remains abandoned
for it cannot shake its haunted reputation,
although the vine is very pretty,
transfiguring the porch into a sylvan grotto.
