It was the last leg of a trip
shoes gripped a tenuous strip
for voyages so uncertain
a maiden exited, final curtain...

she mixed solutions of secret choices
and her cage emitted awsome voices
bottom limbs leaped, her heels were young
prompted strangers to ask where she was from

what was her motivation to perform the unspoken
that husbands would question her devotion
she'd produce a secret potion and then the next
far related to any known lotion, or given pretext...

Then began the last leg of her earthly trip
she'd love by day to work a nightly strip
at the crossroads of Quebec City
her fate was sealed, what a pity...
faces were shrouded in secrecy t'was certain
that she had chosen to remain to a final curtain...

Inspired by the legend of 'La Corriveau' a famous convicted witch of Quebec.
