she came down to our little village

She brought blackberries and willow bark,

mandrake root and mushrooms
Em

And it was said she spoke
A

the tongue of birds
Em

And un derstood the
C

river's whispers
C
Now several girls among our town,
G

by a golden lizard they were bitten

And those sweet girls lay stiff in their beds like

frozen ice up on the branches

How we leaped and pranced and cackled,

the whole town writhing madmen
Am

And so desperate grew some to still their feet
Em

they dove into the raging river
Em

Still we danced on day and night till our

fine clothes were torn and ragged

And crying out, "oh, Lord,

make us stop" we danced naked round the chapel

"It's just wa ter," she said,

But all cried out, "she lies,

D
G

she surely lies" and chased her deep into the bramble
Em
C
But like the four winds
D
Though we searched round and
Em
G
Am
A
Rolling in leaves and naked 'neath the trees
E
G
Am
A
we lost the way back to our village
Em
E
Am
E
Em

But I swear we were all pure
G

of heart till that old crone did bewitch us
A
D
Em
G
A
E
And I know we will all go home,
G
A
E
Am
when the good lord returns to save us
