I'm a hunter I'm a scavenger, the Devil's only one
Skin of scales and hair in tails, my eyes so deeply sunk
I'm the queen of the River Tees I'm a mistress of the murk
An evil wench with a sickly stench between the reeds I do lurk
They call me Peggy Powler, that's my name
I bite the legs of the children that come up to the shore
Line them up like lobster pots upon the rivers floor
I'll turn your child into a trout and forever be my slave
Bubbles jump from their open mouths as they sink to a watery grave
