Back in the woods,

in a little ol' town.

There sits a grave

on unholy ground.

It's covered in leaves

and things that crawl.

Buried in weeds

and the vines that sprawl.

The light is dim

and the wind grows cold.

Her name was Nellie,

she was ten years old.

She killed her family

and fed on their fat.

She killed their dog

to feed her cat.

She haunted the neighbors

with her spells and her tricks.

She stabbed at their ankles

with nails and sharp sticks.

She danced in the shadows

to a devilish tune.

Calling up spirits,

and drawing down the moon.

She struck fear in their hearts,

on those long, lonely nights.

They locked doors and windows,

and left on their lights.

Through darkness and shadows,

and under their beds.

She'd tickle their toes

and chop off their heads.

In the County they gathered,

they came to the church.

With pitch fork and lantern

they started their search.

Long into the night,

they followed her trails.

They searched all the shadows,

and deep into wells.

When they found her half crazed,

she put up a fight.

They killed her by fire,

screams echoing in the night.

They buried her bones

on the unholy ground.

A secret they kept,

to their graves, it was bound.

If you hear it, don't tell it,

you'll regret if you do.

For if you dare speak it,

she'll come back, after you.

Her grave, if you find it

and dare be so bold.

You'll remember Nellie,

she was ten years old.
