In Memory of Halloween

[Verse]
In the town of Webster Springs
That's known far and wide
With her loving parents, there
Dear Opal did reside

It was on one Sunday evening
To Fairmont she did ride
With a reckless driver
Sitting by her side

Along with her to Fairmont
Went two girls you may know
Who pleaded with dear Opal
Saying "Dearest, won't you go?"

The boys were there waiting
To go with them it seems
They were bound for a party
In memory of Halloween

And as they were returning
Aftеr the party was o'er
The drivеr drunkenly boasted
"I'll make her do eighty or more"

And then he started speeding
His brain was in a whirl
Liquor, the devil, and a reckless man
Caused the death of an innocent girl

Now let's bow our heads in prayer
And ask the God above
To make a home for Opal
The girl we all loved

Say a prayer for this young man
When his life on Earth is done
That they will also forgive him
For he's some other's son

Young girls, now, take warning
And let this be your guide
Always be very careful
With whom you take a ride
