The Legend of The Devil\u2019s Punchbowl<\/p>\n

by Kylee Bustard<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well once there was farmer\u2019s son we\u2019ll call him John Gallant<\/p>\n

His neighbour asked him for a job and though the pay was scant<\/p>\n

John took the work for knowing well the fields were all dried out<\/p>\n

He led his horse and wagon out and trodded down the route<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the valley and far from shore<\/p>\n

Poor Gallant best get home before<\/p>\n

The Devil robs him in a blink<\/p>\n

Of the moonlight\u2019s ink, the Devil\u2019s drink<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well John Gallant arrived in town in time to buy a crate<\/p>\n

The moonshine sloshed and made a clink! with the horse\u2019s gait<\/p>\n

John hid the prize beneath the hay and prayed no one would see<\/p>\n

The Devil\u2019s drink, the moonlight\u2019s ink, hidden behind his seat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the valley and far from shore<\/p>\n

Poor Gallant best get home before<\/p>\n

The Devil robs him in a blink<\/p>\n

Of the moonlight\u2019s ink, the Devil\u2019s drink<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Young John was not the brightest son he realised soon enough<\/p>\n

For when he reached the old valley the Devil saw his bluff<\/p>\n

In the earth a hole appeared and John let out a squeal<\/p>\n

The Devil took the poor man\u2019s soul and said \u201clet\u2019s make a deal\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the valley and far from shore<\/p>\n

Poor Gallant best get home before<\/p>\n

The Devil robs him in a blink<\/p>\n

Of the moonlight\u2019s ink, the Devil\u2019s drink<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That night when John came stumbling home, his horse all out of breath<\/p>\n

With bloodshot eyes and clammy skin he looked near close to death<\/p>\n

The neighbour asked \u201cwhat happened, boy?\u201d and John wept at his knees<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Devil stole the old moonshine and barely let me free\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the valley and far from shore<\/p>\n

Poor Gallant best get home before<\/p>\n

The Devil robs him in a blink<\/p>\n

Of the moonlight\u2019s ink, the Devil\u2019s drink<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you walk out toward Granville way you\u2019ll see the scar made on that day<\/p>\n

The land pulled in like a bowl, the Devil\u2019s Punchbowl, is what we say<\/p>\n

And if you find yourself at night alone and near the Devil\u2019s Punchbowl<\/p>\n

If you dare, then a bring a drink to give the Devil to save your soul<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the valley and far from shore<\/p>\n

Poor Gallant best get home before<\/p>\n

The Devil robs him in a blink<\/p>\n
