On the line with Bell Witch, your call never made it through
I heard it first from Old Kate Batts who heard it first from you
Old rabbit-head was barking when Josh laced up his shoes
But Lucy cast her spell on Jack when Betsy left the room
When John Bell first came calling, I sent him straight away
Then came the invitation for Jim and I to stay
The night to rid the Bell house of their unwanted guest
But it's clear that it was never Kate for whom the trap was set
When Josh walked by that evening, Jack had never pulled the blinds
And much to our misfortune, Josh never learned to lie
It would have broken Betsy's heart, so Josh resigned to leave
But not before Miss Lucy heard about Old Jack and me
On the line with Bell Witch, your call never made it through
I heard it first from Old Kate Batts who heard it first from you
Old rabbit-head was barking when Josh laced up his shoes
But Lucy cast her spell on Jack when Betsy left the room
