8. Headless Horseman

The cold wind howling in the trees in a dark country lane at night
I felt uneasy as I turned the bend then I just froze in fright
I looked over my shoulder and there he was astride his jet black steed
it was the Headless Horseman after me so I prayed to the lord for speed

Well The Headless Horseman's after me and he wants my only head
Devil take the hindmost if he catches you your dead
take a little tip from me and my advice you'l follow
don't go riding after dark in a town called Sleepy Hollow

I whipped up my mount and shot ahead at about the speed of sound
but the rider he was after me and burning up the ground
way up yonder I saw the bridge the bridge of Sleepy Hollow
if the Headless Horseman catches me then down to hell Ill follow

Well The Headless Horseman's after me and he wants my only head
Devil take the hindmost if he catches you your dead
take a little tip from me and my advice you'l follow
don't go riding after dark in a town called Sleepy Hollow


The demon he drew up on me but the bridge seemed very near
my hair it turned a snowy white he said"oi you come here!"
the only way to save my soul was to reach the bridge but first
so I gave my horse a scooby snack and forward we did burst

Well The Headless Horseman's after me and he wants my only head
Devil take the hindmost if he catches you your dead
take a little tip from me and my advice you'l follow
don't go riding after dark in a town called Sleepy Hollow
