  • one line translates to "the goat is farting"

  • my choir class is singing this

  • O Lord! O Jesus Christ!

  • 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.

  • devil music 

  • Absolutely wonderful- very bouncy and lively. Thank you for this brilliant recording!

  • And another thing: see on this site "apple wassail"

  • 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"

  • Where can this be downloaded?

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