Ed Gein - Guitar and Vocal - original

Ed Gein - lyrics ( listener descretion advised, PG26, For mature audiences only)
Written and performed by Dan D. Dirges
Based on true events (with some minor artist liberties taken)
No names were changed
I wrote this song after watching a true life crime drama about Ed Gein many moons ago
Power chords performed on Acoustic guitar with vocal (can be played on a ax, heavy metal style)

On a north country farm lived a man named Ed Gein
The Plainfield townfolk say he`s kind of strange
Things aint been the same since in mama died
She left him there alone with her ghost locked up inside

Digging up bones from the earth below
On a cold dark night and full moon glow
Drag em back home to the ol homestead
Hell only knows what went on in his head

(it gets worse now)

Skulls on the bedpost, sawed off bones
Death masks staring back all in a row
He used the skin of the dead for to make his lamp shades
Life on the farm`s getting down right strange

Ed let the skeleton`s out of the closet
They`re up in the attic hanging from the ceiling
Ma`s still locked up down in the basement
Hell only knows what went on in his head

(click off here if you`re under 26 and squeamish)

Ed took to killing when the corpes ran dry
Mrs. Warden went missing and the folks started wondering why
They found her body hanging in his old woodshed
Slaughtered like a hog and deader than dead

They locked him in chains and lead him away
Sent him up state for the criminally insane
Left him there to rot for the rest of his days
Hell only knows what went on in his head
His head
(pre censored)
His f-cking head
