Okey Dokey here it is

As you know the form of the song I'll just put in the important bits after the first verse.

Chicken my chicken my creamy crow
I went to the well to wash my toe
But when I got there the water was low
What time is it old witch old witch,
What time is it old Witch?

Old witch,Old witch, she lives in a ditch
And combs her hair with a hickry switch
She lives on snails and nails and flys
And if you go near her she'll wobble her eyes
Oh she'll wobble her eyes, Oh she'll wobble her eyes

crand; hand; sand,
She's as fat as a feather that's ---- in the middle (sorry couldn't pick the word)
And when she laughs she sounds like a fiddle

crace; face; lace
She sleeps on a bed of straw and corn
And when she snores she sounds like a horn

then Burl sings the verse and chorus you know, then instrumental, then the same verse and chorus.

Have fun!! Sla/n
