I heard rumors of a cavern,
With wonders to behold;
I heard rumors of a cavern,
Just south of Manisfold.
I heard it was discovered,
By a man named Sunny Will;
I heard it was discovered,
While hiding his new still.
I heard that it’s enormous,
With passages high and wide;
I heard that it’s enormous,
And has a lake inside.
I heard that it’s exquisite,
With formations all around;
I heard that it’s exquisite,
And large crystal can be found.
I heard the crystals are of quartz,
Which makes them very hard;
I heard the crystals are of quartz,
And longer than a yard.
I heard there’s massive flowstone,
That it covers all the walls;
I heard there’s massive flowstone,
Which resembles Niagara Falls.
I heard of giant cave pearls,
That measure one foot two;
I heard of giant cave pearls,
Which come in every hue.
I went to see this cavern,
Away up on a hill;
I went to see this cavern,
I went with Sunny Will.
We hiked for miles and miles,
To reach the entrance hole;
We hiked for miles and miles,
Till we reached our goal.
I donned my hat and lamp,
To see this cave of lore;
I donned my hat and lamp,
And started to explore.
The cavern was enormous,
As I could plainly see;
The cavern was enormous,
Its length was eight foot three.
Then Sunny said “Let’s Have a drink,”
From his moonshine still;
Then Sunny said “Let’s Have a drink,”
And we drank our fill.
I gazed about the cavern,
After drinking Sunny’s brew;
I gazed about the cavern ---
The rumors now were true.
