MOLLY AND MILDRED

VERSE 1: MOLLY AND MILDRED THEY WERE MEAN MOUNTAIN GIRLS
THEY LIVED IN THE HOLLER WITH THE POSSUMS AND SQUIRRELS
THEY HAD RAVEN BLACK HAIR THEY HAD BEADY BLUE EYES
THEY COULD FRIGHTEN A BULLDOG; THEY COULD MAKE BABIES CRY

VERSE 2: SOME SAID THEY WERE WITCHES SOME CALLED THEM WORSE
THEY COULD PUT A SPELL ON YOU, THEY COULD CONJURE A CURSE
FOLKS IN MORGAN COUNTY WERE AFRAID OF THEIR WAYS
ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN STAYED AWAY FROM THEIR PLACE

VERSE 3: MOLLY AND MILDRED LOVED TWO MOUNTAIN MEN
BUT WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED THEIR TROUBLES BEGAN
THOSE BOYS USED TO BEAT 'EM THEY BLACKENED THEIR EYES
WHEN THE MEN TURNED UP MISSING, NOBODY WAS SURPRISED

VERSE 4: BOTH OF THEIR HUSBANDS SOMEHOW DISAPPEARED
BUT MOLLY AND MILDRED THEY SHED NOT A TEAR
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY FELL
THE GIRLS WOULDN'T TELL US WHY THEY FILLED IN THE WELL

VERSE 5: MOLLY AND MILDRED, MEAN MOUNTAIN GIRLS
STILL LIVE IN THE HOLLER WITH THE POSSUMS AND SQUIRRELS
THEY DON'T MISS THEIR HUSBANDS; THEY DUG A NEW WELL
THE REST IS A SECRET THEY NEVER WOULD TELL
