Jess-Belle, the song...thing
Fair was Elly Glover,
Dark was Jess-Belle.
Both they loved the same man,
And both they loved him well.
By day she knew a woman's form,
By night a witch's spell.
For love of Billy Turner,
Accursed was Jess-Belle.
A fitful night was spent,
By all on Eagle's Rock did dwell.
Strange things were seen by moonlight's fall,
But none saw Jess-Belle.
Warm was Elly Glover,
Cold dead was Jess-Belle.
And husband would be Billy Ben,
Of the one he loved so well.
