Elder Mother - Winterfylleth

Came forth a liege and five loyal kin

To a realm men sought to claim

An old Witch thence appeared to them

Her terms she did outlay

«From this point on you all I’ll make

Seven strides shalt thou now take

And if Long Compton thou can see

A King of England shall thou be

And if Long Compton thou can’t see

No King of England shalt thy be

Rise up stick and rise up stone

For a King of England shalt be none»

Old girl, old girl give to me

Some of thy wood, and I’ll give thee

Some of mine, some of mine

When I turn into a tree
