Ichabod! - Legendary Shack Shakers

Ripped from my outstretched arms

O her weakness for worldly charms!

Serpentina Root and ribs entwine

As I dream of her moonlit eyes

So don’t cremate me when I’m gone

I won’t be gone for long

I’m a sinner in the hands of an angry God

Stick me in the ground and let me rot

Where the grass don’t grow

And the leaves don’t lie A

Nd their worm dyeth not

Just call me «Ichabod.»

O hearken the boneyard bells!

The tintinnabulation of Hell

I’ll come creepin' out a dead chimney

With the turn of a skeleton key

Take the long way around Mt. Zion

Opt out of the Ramsom’d Choir

No Glory, divine amazing grace

Just to waft through her window lace

Where the grass don’t grow

And the leaves don’t lie A

Nd their worm dyeth not

Just call me «Ichabod.»
