"Bell Witch" lyrics - ANDREW BIRD

ANDREW BIRD
"Bell Witch"
(Andrew Bird / Jimbo Mathus)

I hear a sweet voice it's talkin' it's talkin'
Her features though I cannot see
I feel her footfalls she's walkin' she's walkin'
She's walkin' up right next to me

[Chorus 1:]
Right next to me
Right next to me
Right next to me, oh
Right next to me
I see the Bell Witch she's walkin' she's walkin'
Walkin' right up next to me

And she's just a soul that's been shut outta heaven
Shut out so she can't be free
She followed me down here to old Mississippi
From clean up in Tennessee

[Chorus 2:]
In Tennessee
In Tennessee
In Tennessee, oh
In Tennessee
I see the Bell Witch she's followin' she's followin'
Followin' right up next to me

I see her sweet lips she's lyin' she's lyin'
She's been a-lyin' to me
And I love the Bell Witch she's cryin' she's cryin'
Cryin' right up next to me

[Chorus 3:]
Right next to me
Right next to me
Right next to me, oh
Right next to me
I hear hear sweet voice (Right next to me)
And I hear her footfalls (Right next to me)
Oh I see the Bell Witch she's walkin' she's walkin'
Walkin' right up next to me
