to knowA
If spirits in the other world can really talk to us belowA
An' Pa says 'Gosh there's folks enough on earth to talk to I shouldB
thinkC
Without you pesterin' the folks whose souls have gone across the brink 'D
But Ma she wants to find out things an' study on her own accordE
An' so a month or two ago she went an' bought a ouija boardE
-
It's just a shiny piece of wood with letters printed here an' thereF
An' has a little table which you put your fingers on with careF
An' then you sit an' whisper low some question that you want to knowA
Then by an' by the spirit comes an' makes the little table goA
An' Ma she starts to giggle then an' Pa just grumbles out 'Oh LordE
I wish you hadn't bought this thing We didn't need a ouija board '-
-
'You're movin' it ' says Ma to Pa 'I'm not ' says Pa 'I know it's youG
You're makin' it spell things to us that you know very well aren't true '-
'That isn't so ' says Ma to him 'but I am certain from the wayH
The ouija moves that you're the one who's tellin' it just what to say '-
'It's just 'lectricity ' says Pa 'like batteries all men are storedE
But anyhow I don't believe we ought to have a ouija board '-
-
One night Ma got it out an' said 'Now Pa I want you to be fairF
Just keep right still an' let your hands rest lightly on the table thereF
Oh Ouija tell me tell me true are we to buy another carI
An' will we get it very soon ' she asked 'Oh tell us from afar '-
'Don't buy a car ' the letters spelled 'the price this year you can'tJ
afford '-
Then Ma got mad an' since that time she's never used the ouija boardE
