The Troll Bridge
The Troll lived under the bridge,
where he drew his blood.
The Troll lived under the bridge,
way down there in the mud.
The Troll came out at night,
for he'd burn up in the sun.
The Troll came out at night,
to have his wicked fun.
The Troll lived under the bridge,
ashamed of the lies he told.
The Troll lived under the bridge,
because of the life he chose.
