My name is Shanachie, I am a carpenter But I came to California for the gold I fought the Indians, I fought Tuberculosis But now I mostly do as I am told. I work in San Jose for Sarah Winchester She's the widow of the rifle-maker's son Her family fortune has cursed and blessed her With the bounty and the burden of the gun. Thirteen walls, thirteen doors Thirteen chandeliers like spiders on the ballroom floor Thirteen stairs, thirteen posts To spare Sarah Winchester from ghosts She dreams in blueprints of twisted architecture Of a window in a ceiling or a floor And doors to nowhere designed to foil the specters Of half a century profit off of war Thirteen walls, thirteen doors Thirteen chandeliers like spiders on the ballroom floor Thirteen stairs, thirteen posts To spare Sarah Winchester from ghosts Some say it's the ghost of Sitting Bull Some say it's the karma of the muzzle-flash and trigger-pull But more than this I'll never tell Sarah pays her carpenters too well So I keep my silence and I keep my hammer swinging As we bend this aging mansion to her schemes Never knowing what tomorrow's bringing Only knowing that tonight will bring more screams
