This is a pretty song but because of The Wicker Man, I can't helped but feel a bit creeped out when I hewer songs like this one now.

I actually did research into this subject. "Witches¨ were more commonly burned in Scotland and mainland europe. In England, most were hung, some were drowned or quartered. For more info on continuation of a limited amount of pre-christian folk belief, see the wikipedia article on "cunning folk". Also look up the etymology (word origins) of the words "bless", "yule" (see especially yule log and ham), and "easter"

Very much so. But a nice version of this traditional song, nonetheless.
