There was a huge nut tree by the cemetery fence One day two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree out of sight and began dividing the nuts One for you one for me One for you one for me said one boy The bucket was so full several rolled out towards the fence Cycling down the road by the cemetery was a third boy As he passed he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery He slowed down to investigate Sure enough he heard One for you one for me One for you He knew what it was Oh my he shuddered It`s Satan and St Peter dividing the souls at the cemetery He cycled down the road and found an old man with a cane hobbling along Come quick he said You won`t believe what I heard Satan and St Peter are down at the cemetery dividing the souls The man said Shoo you brat Can`t you see I`m finding it hard to walk as it is After several pleas the man hobbled to the cemetery and heard One for you one for me One for you one The old man whispered Boy you`ve been tellin` the truth Let`s see if we can see the Devil himself Shivering with fear they edged toward the fence still unable to see anything but they heard One for you one for me One for you one for me and one last one for you That`s all Let`s go get those nuts by the fence and we`ll be done They say the old guy made it to town 10 minutes before the boy
