The Greenbrier Ghost

LYRICS Deep in the hollows where the hemlocks grow tall Beneath the cold shadow of the mountain wall Zonnie was a bride with a heart full of light But she faded away in the middle of the night They laid her to rest in the red mountain clay Thinking the secrets would all wash away But the spirit don't sleep when the heart's been betrayed In the mist of the valley where the debt wasn't paid Oh the Greenbrier ghost is a-walking tonight Bringing the truth to the pale morning light From the edge of the grave to the witness's stand She told of the blow from a cruel husband’s hand No shroud and no casket could keep her down low Where the wild mountain laurels and rhododendrons grow Four nights in a row to her mother she came A chilling white shadow with no one to blame She turned her head round and she showed her the crack How Shue broke her neck and he bruised up her back Mary Jane didn't falter she didn't feel fear She listened to words that the dead came to clear She went to the law with the story so strange To get her poor daughter some peace and some change Oh the Greenbrier ghost is a-walking tonight Bringing the truth to the pale morning light From the edge of the grave to the witness's stand She told of the blow from a cruel husband’s hand No shroud and no casket could keep her down low Where the wild mountain laurels and rhododendrons grow They dug up the earth and they opened the pine To see what the doctor had failed to define The jury they listened and the jury they knew That the words of the spirit were honest and true A trial for the ages where a ghost took the stand To point out the killer in the West Virginia land Oh the Greenbrier ghost is a-walking tonight Bringing the truth to the pale morning light From the edge of the grave to the witness's stand She told of the blow from a cruel husband’s hand No shroud and no casket could keep her down low Where the wild mountain laurels and rhododendrons growNow the wind through the pines has a story to tell Of a girl from the hills that we all knew so well Rest easy fair Zonnie the truth has been found Safe in the silence of the hallowed ground Safe in the silence of the hallowed ground
