Heaven help your home to night	A
MacCormac for I know	B
A white witch woman is your bride	C
You married for your woe	B
	-
You thought her but a simple maid	D
That roamed the mountain side	C
She put the witch's glance on you	E
And so became your bride	C
	-
But I have watched her close and long	F
And know her all too well	G
I never churned before her glance	H
But evil luck befell	G
	-
Last week the cow beneath my hand	I
Gave out no milk at all	J
I turned and saw the pale haired girl	K
Lean laughing by the wall	J
	-
A little sup she cried for me	L
The day is hot and dry	M
Begone I said you witch's child	N
She laughed a loud good bye	M
	-
And when the butter in the churn	O
Will never rise I see	L
Beside the door the white witch girl	K
Has got her eyes on me	L
	-
At dawn to day I met her out	P
Upon the mountain side	C
And all her slender finger tips	Q
Were each a crimson dyed	C
	-
Now I had gone to seek a lamb	R
The darkness sent astray	S
Sore for a lamb the dawning winds	T
And sharp beaked birds of prey	S
	-
But when I saw the white witch maid	D
With blood upon her gown	U
I said I'm poorer by a lamb	R
The witch has dragged it down	U
	-
And Why is this your hands so red	V
All in the early day	S
I seized her by the shoulder fair	W
She pulled herself away	S
	-
It is the raddle on my hands	X
The raddle all so red	V
For I have marked MacCormac's sheep	Y
And little lambs she said	V
	-
And what is this upon your mouth	Z
And on your cheek so white	A
Oh it is but the berries' stain	A2
She trembled in her fright	A
	-
I swear it is no berries' stain	A2
Nor raddle all so red	V
I laid my hands about her throat	B2
She shook me off and fled	V
	-
I had not gone to follow her	C2
A step upon the way	S
When came I to my own lost lamb	R
That dead and bloody lay	S
	-
Come back I cried you witch's child	N
Come back and answer me	L
But no maid on the mountain side	C
Could ever my eyes see	L
	-
I looked into the glowing east	D2
I looked into the south	Z
But did not see the slim young witch	E2
With crimson on her mouth	Z
	-
Now though I looked both well and long	F
And saw no woman there	W
Out from the bushes by my side	C
There crept a snow white hare	W
	-
With knife in hand I followed it	F2
By ditch by bog by hill	G2
I said Your luck be in your feet	H2
For I shall do you ill	G2
	-
I said Come be you fox or hare	W
Or be you mountain maid	D
I'll cut the witch's heart from you	E
For mischief you have made	D
	-
She laid her spells upon my path	I2
The brambles held and tore	J2
The pebbles slipped beneath my feet	H2
The briars wounded sore	J2
	-
And then she vanished from my eyes	K2
Beside MacCormac's farm	L2
I ran to catch her in the house	M2
And keep the man from harm	L2
	-
She stood with him beside the fire	C2
And when she saw my knife	N2
She flung herself upon his breast	O2
And prayed he'd save her life	N2
	-
The woman is a witch I cried	C
So cast her off from you	E
She'll be my wife to day he said	V
Be careful what you do	E
	-
The woman is a witch I said	V
He laughed both loud and long	F
She laid her arms about his neck	P2
Her laugh was like a song	F
	-
The woman is a witch he mocked	Q2
And laughed both long and loud	R2
She bent her head upon his breast	O2
Her hair was like a cloud	R2
	-
I said See blood upon her mouth	Z
And on each finger tip	S2
He said I see a pretty maid	D
A rose upon her lip	S2
	-
He took her slender hand in his	T2
To kiss the stain away	S
Oh well she cast her spell on him	U2
What could I do but pray	S
	-
May heaven guard your house to night	A
I whisper as I go	B
For you have won a witch for bride	C
And married for your woe	B
