♪♫ The Rowan Tree - Andy Roberts folk song

http://andyroberts.me A higher quality Video of The Rowan Tree - Andy Roberts folk song recorded at Havering Folk Club around Halloween 2009 by Peter Walters

Come hear my story, it's a tale of four witches
but I could have added three more
And heed my advice if you're troubled by witches
Just plant a Rowan tree outside your front door

And the branches sway in the faintest of breezes
the berries are red bright and fair.
And I've not had much trouble with those witchee witches
Not since I planted my Rowan tree there

Well the Witch of the West was cunning and sly
She had me always on the run
And I never knew which way her nose was pointing
Not until after she'd been there and gone.

And the branch tips dance.... planted my Rowan tree there

The Witch of the East was just counting the years
and somehow that three became five.
Then her time was up and she vanished away
Now nobody knows if she's dead or alive.

And the branches sway.... planted my Rowan tree there

The Witch of the South was trouble from the start
Her fancy was playing with fire
The anger rose up as the coals glowed white
and the smoke billowed higher and higher

And the branches sway.... planted my Rowan tree there

The Witch of the North is not like the rest
She uses her powers for good
As the Rowan tree watches and nods in approval
and keeps us both safe from the dark witchee wood

And the branches sway.... planted my Rowan tree there

So that was my story all about my four witches
I could have mentioned three more
Now heed my advice if you're troubled by witches
Go plant a rowan tree outside your front door

And the branch tips dance.... planted my Rowan tree there
