Jean Lafitte’s Halloween Tale

'Twas All Hallows' Eve on Lake Pontchartrain

Where ghost lights dance through the misty rain

My crew all whisper of spirits at night

While jack-o'-lanterns cast eerie light

The cypress trees drip with Spanish moss gray

As phantom pirates their secrets betray

My treasures lie scattered 'neath Louisiana ground

Where skeletal guardians still prowl around

So heed ye this warning on Halloween night

When crossing these waters by pale moonlight

For though I be gone these two hundred years

My ghostly crew still brings sailors to tears

And if ye should spy a dark privateer

With gold-flashing teeth and a devil-may-care leer

Best leave an offering of rum by the shore

For Jean Lafitte sails these waters once more…

Enjoy A Happy & Safe Halloween! Love Your Family at Jean Lafitte House.
