Subject: Lyr Add: Will o' the Wisp
Lyr. Add: WILL O' THE WISP
Words E. L. Blanchard, Music J. H. Tully, 1872

1
Will o' the Wisp who leads astray Travelers,
till they lose their way,
Wherever my light is seen, beware!
For danger is lurking there.
Dark eyes seem to glancing be
Harmless beams enough to see,
But under those long dark lashes lie,
Will o' the Wisp's own witchery-

I'm Will o' the Wisp who leads astray Travelers,
till they lose their way.
Wherever my light is seen, beware!
For danger is lurking there.
Ah! -Yes! danger is lurking there.
Ah!- Yes! danger is lurking there.
2
Will o' the Wisp who leads by night, Mortals,
with my flick'ring light,
In every shape be sure I come
To lead the wand'rer far from home
But of all my forms there's one I'll tell,
That never fails to serve me well,
O! beware of the light of a love-lit eye,
For there lies my deepest witchery-

I'm Will o' the Wisp who leads astray Travelers,
till they lose their way.
Wherever my light is seen, beware!
For danger is lurking there.
Ah!- Yes! danger is lurking there.
Ah!- Yes! danger is lurking there.
