The Twelve Witches
Lyricist:Hart Timothy Daniel, Johnson Robert A, Kemp Frederick Stanley, Knight Peter Norman, Prior Madeleine Edith
Oh, there were twelve witches bold And they lived in the north And their equals were not seen On the face of the earth
The first witch, with her hand The storm could hush And the second witch could stop All the torrents rush
And the third witch, she could strike Upon the golden lyre And she charmed both young and old Into the dancing fire
Rowan tree, red thread Hold the witches all in dread
The fourth witch she could dive In the sea as a fish And the fifth witch she never wanted Any meat on a dish
And now the next witch go Under the earth could she And the seventh witch could dance Upon the rolling sea Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And the eighth witch on her horn She would blow a blast And everyone who heard Would shudder and stand aghast
Rowan tree, red thread Hold the witches all in dread
Oh, the ninth witch she tamed all That in the greenwood crept And the tenth witch, not a nap She had ever slept
The eleventh witch, the grisly Lindworm bound And the twelfth witch she could all Things understand
And these twelve witches bold They all lived in the north And their equals were not seen On the face of the earth
Rowan tree, red thread Hold the witches all in dread
