Begone! (the Witch of Walkern)

          She comes a-knocking at your door,
          She begs for turnips and some straw,
          And if you fail to give her that,
          She'll come back as a devil cat.
         
          She'll make you lame and hex your child,
          She'll send you running through the wild!
          We'll scratch her face, we'll do her in,
          We'll prick the strumpet with a pin!
         
              A witch, a witch, she is beyond a doubt,
              A bitch, a bitch inside and out,
              Beware of Jane, the Wenham crone,
              She's dangerous, we want her gone!
              Begone, begone!
 
          She'll curse and make your cattle fall,
         She'll put a madness in your soul.
         We've had enough, we'll take no more!
         We'll march to court the devil's whore!
         
         That city judge, the clever guy,
         Said sorcery was but a lie.
         But she can fly, we saw it, sir!
         He laughed: That's not against the law!
         
         Hey, know-it-all, don't make yourself so big,
         You think you're smart because you wear a wig?
         She is a witch, the Wenham crone,
         She's dangerous, we want her gone!
         Begone, begone!
         
         Hey judge, there's nought that you can do,
         We say she's guilty through and through!
         We are the jury, after all!
         So may the devil take her soul!
         
             A witch, a witch, she is beyond a doubt,
             A bitch, a bitch inside and out,
             Now she will hang, the Wenham crone,
             May God be praised, we want her gone!
             Begone, begone!
         
         But what... Your Honour, is it true?
         The witch has put a spell on you!
         To London town you went to beg
         A royal pardon for the hag!
         
         Our gracious Queen, what did he say
         To lead Your Majesty astray?
         The witch will live to our dismay!
         There's nothing we can do but pray!
         
             A witch, a witch, she is beyond a doubt,
             A bitch, a bitch inside and out,
             Beware of Jane, the Wenham crone,
             She's dangerous, we want her gone!
             Begone, begone!
             Beware of Jane, the Wenham crone,
             She's dangerous, we want her gone!
             Begone, begone!
