1
oh there were twelve witches bold
2
and they lived in the north,
3
and their equals were not seen
4
on the face of the earth.
5
the first witch, with her hand,
6
the storm could hush,
7
and the second witch could stop
8
all the torrents rush.
9
and the third witch, she could strike
10
upon the golden lyre,
11
and she charmed both young and old
12
into the dancing fire.
13
rowan tree, red thread,
14
hold the witches all in dread.
15
the fourth witch she could dive
16
in the sea as a fish,
17
and the fifth witch she never wanted
18
any meat on a dish.
19
and now the next witch go
20
under the earth could she,
21
and the seventh witch could dance
22
upon the rolling sea.
23
and the eighth witch on her horn
24
she would blow a blast,
25
and everyone who heard
26
would shudder and stand aghast.
27
rowan tree, red thread,
28
hold the witches all in dread.
29
oh the ninth witch she tamed all
30
that in the greenwood crept,
31
and the tenth witch, not a nap
32
she had ever slept.
33
the eleventh witch, the grisly
34
lindworm bound,
35
and the twelfth witch she could all
36
things understand.
37
and these twelve witches bold,
38
they all lived in the north,
39
and their equals were not seen
40
on the face of the earth.
41
rowan tree, red thread,
42
hold the witches all in dread......
