Jean says, “The little paths between the rows of tents are quaint.

THE HAUNTED WINDCHIMES.    “May”

Momma let me tell you bout the one I love
She’s the prettiest girl I ever did see
Lover above all the rest
Someday soon I’ll make my queen
I put flower in her hair and maybugs on her door
When I come a callin, baby I won’t let go
And I know she’s the one I’ve been lookin for
Searched all over and more
Oh my darlin, oh my love
Burn like a fire in my core
