| Oh there were twelve witches bold | |
| And they lived in the north, | |
| And their equals were not seen | |
| On the face of the earth. | |
| The first witch, with her hand, | |
| The storm could hush, | |
| And the second witch could stop | |
| All the torrents rush. | |
| And the third witch, she could strike | |
| Upon the golden lyre, | |
| And she charmed both young and old | |
| Into the dancing fire. | |
| Rowan tree, red thread, | |
| Hold the witches all in dread. | |
| The fourth witch she could dive | |
| In the sea as a fish, | |
| And the fifth witch she never wanted | |
| Any meat on a dish. | |
| And now the next witch go | |
| Under the earth could she, | |
| And the seventh witch could dance | |
| Upon the rolling sea. | |
| And the eighth witch on her horn | |
| She would blow a blast, | |
| And everyone who heard | |
| Would shudder and stand aghast. | |
| Rowan tree, red thread, | |
| Hold the witches all in dread. | |
| Oh the ninth witch she tamed all | |
| That in the greenwood crept, | |
| And the tenth witch, not a nap | |
| She had ever slept. | |
| The eleventh witch, the grisly | |
| Lindworm bound, | |
| And the twelfth witch she could all | |
| Things understand. | |
| And these twelve witches bold, | |
| They all lived in the north, | |
| And their equals were not seen | |
| On the face of the earth. | |
| Rowan tree, red thread, | |
| Hold the witches all in dread...... |
