The Ballad Of Cursed Anna
- Jonathan Kelly -

Twice Around The Houses (1972)

 

As I was walking homeward
in the early morning light
Leaving far behind the prison
where I'd spent the night
With no idea of what I'd done
or why they'd punished me
But feeling nonetheless relieved
and grateful to be free

My path led through a woodland
far behind a rusted gate
I knew it was a shortcut
if I kept my walking straight
But then, like out of nowhere,
this old wizened man appeared
Holding high his one hand
while the other stroked his beard

"Beware the cursed Anna's stare"
this warning did he bring
"No-one makes it through this wood,
coming out as they went in!"

"But a change is what I'm looking for"
I told the sad old man
And bidding him a last farewell
into the wood I ran
Soon I came to the river
where I stopped to bathe my feet
And that was when I smelled
her perfume delicate and sweet

I stood up and I turned around
and there in front of me stood
a beautiful woman
who simply stared at me
And then I knew it was all true
what the old man had advised
"You must be Anna",
I said, as I looked into her eyes

When we came together
in a passionate embrace
I felt my body weaken
and my heart begin to race
And when at last the kissing stopped
I saw to my alarm
This woman now had changed
into a young girl in my arms

I heard her childish laughter
as she vanished through the trees
I turned back to the river,
my reflection for to see
And there inside the water
I saw exactly as I feared
To my horror I'd turned into
an old man with a beard

For seven long years I've waited
by this gate, wishing that I could die
But that can never happen
if some other young lad comes by
I know I must warn him
to go some other way
But hope that, like most men of that age,
he won't believe what old men say
