Back in Tennessee
I saw a family haunted by an entity
It was a tragedy in another century
Oh, they never would know the Evil one that came
Little Betsy, the age of 12
Living in a dream, the first one to scream
Invisible hands
Leaving their mark in the dark
Night after night
The Bell Witch attacked and attacked
Torturing Betsy
Until a circle was held in candle light
Tell us who you are?
Please tell us who you are?
I am the air you breathe
I am the Bell Witch
I am a million years
I am the Bell Witch
The Bell Witch decided
It was the time for the father to scream
Soon taken ill
Never again to leave his bed alive
Tell us who you are?
Please tell us who you are?
I am the air you breathe
I am the Bell Witch
I am a million years
I am the Bell Witch
Goodnight John, see you in Hell
Say, bye, bye to daddy, Betsy
Call the doctor, I made sure
Call the doctor, there ain't no cure
That night John, he died
And the Bell Witch never came again
Soon they realized
The witch had given John bad medicine
