I woke up last night.

I woke up last night,

And I had such a fright;

A spirit made my husband fall,

And I screamed, though no one

Heard my call.

A hand crawled up my bed,

And I bit its fingers before

It could reach my head.

No wonder no one heard my scream,

I was right in the middle of a bad dream.

Then I saw moonlight pouring through

My Window;

And crawling was a huge black widow!

Then by the light of the full moon,

I woke up feeling like such a loon!

I looked around, but I saw nothing,

And I heard no sound,

Then I told myself,

"It was just a dream, you silly hound!"
