Lady DuBois

Here is how the story goes: What happened to her in the throes Of passion, on her wedding night Her husband gave her such a fright To bed he brought a kitchen knife To use to kill his newly wife To take her money and then run To the arms of a fallen nun. But first the body to dispose In the woods beyond the patch of rose Then off he fled: with money and the lust Of his godless vixen; his wife left in dust And soot and moss and creatures foul. Her spirit haunts this deadly wood And it is of course understood That if you find her and do her bidding She grant you a wish - I'm not kidding! Her bidding is to find the man Who killed her and then quickly ran And bring him to the woods she haunts So she can inflict her ghostly taunts On him. So if you find her - chances slim - Be ready to take on her quest Because if you don't at her behest She'll trap your spirit in this wood And this is where you'll stay for good!
