The Stone Bridge TrollComposed by: Charles Ipcar © 2018, 11/23/18Tune: after traditional The Reaper's Ghost |
Don't walk up the Stone Bridge,
The Stone Bridge, the Stone Bridge;
Don't walk up the Stone Bridge,
As evening shadows fall;
For the Troll lives 'neath the Stone Bridge,
The Stone Bridge, the Stone Bridge;
For the Troll lives 'neath the Stone Bridge,
He'll creep out and eat you up!
Billy walked up the Stone Bridge,
The Stone Bridge, the Stone Bridge;
Billy walked up the Stone Bridge,
As evening shadows fell;
And the Troll crept out from the Stone Bridge,
The Stone Bridge, the Stone Bridge;
And the Troll crept out from the Stone Bridge,
Said "I'm gonna eat you up!”
"But if you answer my questions three,
I'm bound to let you go free;
So what is higher than a tree,
And what is deeper than the sea,
And what am I thinking, my little Billy?”
So Billy drew forth an iPhone X (ten),
And googled the answers with a grin:
"The sky is higher than a tree,
And love is deeper than the sea,
And you're thinking you were gonna eat me!”
So don't walk up the Stone Bridge,
The Stone Bridge, the Stone Bridge;
Don't walk up the Stone Bridge,
Without your iPhone X!
