Harry, If you are still looking for songs featuring witches here is one I wrote last year about something that happened in my hometown of Newcastle, UK.

TWENTY SHILLINGS EACH
(Bill Dodds)

There were two Ellenor’s, Margrit’s and Elisabeth’s
Three Jane’s, one Mary, Kattren, Aylis, Isabell and Ann
Standing together, watching and waiting
Hoping and praying that cruel men will change their minds
            
Twenty sixth of March, sixteen forty nine, madness descended
Twenty pieces of silver, twenty shillings each
That was the price they were worth

In sixteen thirty six, a third of the people
In the town of Newcastle were killed by Bubonic Plague
Sixteen forty four, an army from Scotland
Occupied the city for more than seven hundred days

Pestilence and plague, death and destruction were blamed on witches
The town became ready to give praise to the Lord
And drive the Devil from their town

In sixteen forty nine, John the bellman
Was asking people if neighbours were practicing ‘Black Arts’
Grudges and grievances, gossip and rumour
Greed and envy soon gave him a list of thirty names
         
City fathers, put them all on trial, to end this nightmare
Thirty women, and a man
Ready to face, Puritan laws

A finder of witches was brought down from Scotland
The women stripped naked, their bodies searched for Devil’s marks
Pricked with a bodkin to see if they bled
No chance at all, facing a spring loaded blade
   
Paid by results, most were found guilty, a cruel fate awaited
Death was the sentence, to be hung by the neck
Thou shalt not, suffer a witch to live

Crowds had gathered on the Town Moor of Newcastle
In front of wooden scaffolds, that frosty first day of spring
Fourteen women, victims of malice
Prejudice and fear, were hoping for reprieve

Twenty sixth of March, sixteen forty nine, madness descended
Twenty pieces of silver, twenty shillings each
That was the price that finally sealed their fate

There were two Ellenor’s, Margrit’s and Elisabeth’s
Three Jane’s, one Mary, Kattren, Aylis, Isabell and Ann
Standing together, shivering and trembling
Learning the hard way that cruel men never change their minds


Footnote
Eleanor Lownsdale, spoke up for the women (then was accused herself)

14 witches, 1 wizard, 9 moss troopers were hung on the same day on Newcastle Town Moor (half a mile from where I live).

The Scottish Witchfinder was responsible for 220 deaths (he was eventually found to be a fraud and hung)
