Verse 1
(C major)
(F major) The Witches, The Witches,
(C major) took place in this country
and these witches were spread
(F major) out one night.
(C major) Certain parts go on one way
and certain parts go on another way.
The witches (F major) put a death
on these houses
and so (C major) forth and so on.
And they might stay out of the windows
and yell into the windows.
They wanted to kill him
(E flat major) or kill her.
(C major) See, some of them landed in the hospital
and some died of scarce
(D minor) an d fear that they (B flat major) would die.
(C major) Excuse me if I got (D minor) the wrong word.
It was something like clue collar,
(C major) clue cut,
clue du (E flat major) plex, clue (C major) cut can.
They have them down south
with the (F major) mask over their face.
(C major) The witches, (F major) were ancient.
After they (C major) find the witches,
they (B flat minor) hang them on the trapeze.
I think it's called a trapeze.
It's up on a stage with a noose,
and they'd kill them on a platform
with a noose over the plank.
(C major) Well, there was, in that time,
they didn't have no medicine.
They used to haunt these people
at their homes, the witches,
and they used to carry around a
torch
to burn the house or the farm.
Nobody knew about the
(F minor) farm
and the witches doing (F major) damage
to their wheat fields.
In the stable, in the fields,
these would be combined.
(D minor) People would just do this.
(C major) Some of this is in
the American history book.
Let's see, (F major) (C major) some witches
used to go out in the fields
and hide their faces amongst
the trees.
At night, they would go out and just do that.
(F major) There was a group of witches,
365 (C major) I think,
and they would destroy house,
(F major) barns,
wheat fields, fences.
(C major) In the center of this town,
where they hang the people,
they make a big (F major) fire
in the center of the square
and burn up these witches and
(C major) people.
It's in a circle.
They get (F major) the witches
and the plain people
who lost their parents.
they found that the (C major) town hall
gave the preference of the witches
that were left behind (F major) to be hung
and then they would be burned too.
(C major) Let's see now.
These witches used to
(F major) blame the Ku Klux Klan
for (C major) not helping them out.
They wanted them to come along
(F major) and watch and (C major) see.
When they found out,
they put them up to the altar.
I don't know how good the story is.
Is it alright?
This all happened.
It all happened in the history book.
It's there.
Not all of it, but some part of it.
I think it was 15 years ago,
16 years ago,
in the 18th century.
In the history book,
it tells exactly 18 -something, 1904,
1905.
That was the First World War,
something like that.
An (F major) d that was when these witches
and Ku Klux Klan
came into existence,
and it's bad for the people.
