“There was a devil and a man long ago.”
There was a devil and a man long ago. They were in great friends I bet you said the man to the devil you could not go into that bottle. I will said the devil stay there now says the man. The man died and the devil broke out of the bottle. The devil would not leave him into hell or God would not leave him into heaven and God gave him a lamp to go about the hills every night. He was called Jackie the Lantern and he frightened every one.
