The Tale of Daniel la Fey

A story of sadness
and of bad luck
is the tale I tell today;
'tis the story of how
all of our children
were taken - spirited away!

The twelfth mark of midnight struck
and in crept Daniel la Fey,
the mysterious fiddler who earlier played
a concert without taking pay.

As he walked through the city
he played a little ditty
to keep all his foes at bay.
Using a magic fiddle
he played just a little
the gay song of Daniel la Fey.

He'd enter a house
eyes glowing red;
a word in their ear,
a mark on their head,
and soon the children,
well they were all out of bed
and were captives to his tune.

He played not for money;
what he wanted the most
was the souls of young people
to satiate his needs as a ghost--

Well this was a sad story
'bout that fateful day
when that dreaded spirit
known as Daniel la Fey
marched into town and
with his tune, led them astray
down to the graveyard
where he had his way
and stole our town's future;
he spirited all their souls away!
