Rattling Chains

[Verse 1]
Hear the song in the holler
Hear them rattling chains
Hear the child that follows
Hear her calling its name
You ought to be sleeping
For she might come to your windowpane

[Verse 2]
Her eyes are hard to follow
Her face is bloody red
She'll come through your window
And stand before your bed
To see if you are her baby
She'll pull the blanket from your head

[Verse 3]
She'll sit beside you
And sing to you her song
Her lips will open
But no sound will come
And in the silence
She'll sing to you till dawn
