Does anyone recognise these lyrics and know the rest of the ballad?
It was composed shortly after the hanging of three witches from Dagenham following their trial at Chelmsford Court in 1589.

So listen Christians to my song,
The hangman's swung his rope
And on these gallows hath been done
An end to Satan's hope

Give the news to Chelmsford town
To all the world be spread
A crew of evil witches have gone down
Hang'd by the neck, all three are dead.

Thanks!
