Back in Tennessee, I saw a family haunted by an entity It was a tragedy in another century Oh...They never would know the Evil One that came Little Betsy, the age of 12 Living in a dream The first one to scream
Invisible hands leaving their mark in the dark
Night after night The Bell Witch attacked and attacked Torturing Betsy, until a circle was held in candle light
Tell us who you are Please tell us who you are
"I am the air you breathe I am the Bell Witch I am a million years I am the Bell Witch"
The Bell Witch decided It was the time for the father to scream Soon taken ill, never again to leave his bed alive
Tell us who you are Please tell us who you are
"I am the air you breathe I am the Bell Witch I am a million years I am the Bell Witch"
"Goodnight John, see you in Hell... Say bye bye to Daddy, Betsy" Call the doctor!!! ..."I made sure" Call the doctor!!! ..."There ain't no cure"
That night John he died And the Bell Witch never came again Soon they realized, the witch had given John bad medicine

KD is on tour next month, but nowhere near me... I haven't gotten into much of his newer stuff, though.

But the early MF and KD solo material from the mid-80's to early 90's is the prime. Saw MF 10 years ago this month and it killed. :-)

7. I've lucked out and caught them |
|
on the "9" tour, but "In the Shadows" and "Time" are my faves from them
KD is a trip live, too. Saw him on his last tour, but would've LOVED to have seen him back on the tour for "Them" or "Conspiracy"!!

Explains why she isn't even mentioned in the lyrics. Glad someone else knows about the story! :-)

9. I think learning about the Bell Witch is mandatory 5th grade stuff! |
|
Tennessee has a lot of old haunts. :)

10. I'm happy to hear about ALL witches, and I wasn't familiar with this one |
|
Maybe it's geography, but I didn't know about the Bell Witch until last year. Now I want to find out more info - I'm sure there must be a book or two or 10 out there.
