Jersey Devil

Verse 1: In the Pine Barrens, where shadows play, A midnight whisper, a haunted sway, The wind it howls like a mournful sigh, As the devil flies, with a blood-curdling cry. Chorus: Oh, Jersey Devil, with wings so dark, A shadow in the moon's pale mark, You haunt these woods, with eyes aglow, Forever doomed, in the night below. Verse 2: Mother Leeds wept, her curse did bind, "Let it be the devil," she left behind, Thirteen souls, a child unseen, Now the creature screams, in the dead of night's sheen. Chorus: Oh, Jersey Devil, with wings so dark, A shadow in the moon's pale mark, You haunt these woods, with eyes aglow, Forever doomed, in the night below. Bridge: Legends grow, of the Leeds name's might, A family's tale, in the dark of night, The Pine Barrens hide, the truth from sight, As the devil's cry, cuts through the night. Outro: The devil's call, it echoes still, In the heart of the Barrens, it chills the hill, A tale of old, forever told, The Jersey Devil, a legend bold.
