There's only one Archie Fisher song that I sing and I think it's one of his best. Thank you Archie.
I'll be singing it with extra emotion in the coming weeks.

Witch of the Westmerlands\Westmorland
NB these longer lyrics make for a more complete story than the verses used by Stan Rogers.
My take on it has always been that it isn't so much that the witch heals the knight to fight another day but that she sends him honourably and comfortably into his next life.

,,,And she stood in a gown of the velvet blue,
Bound 'round with a silver chain.
She's kissed his pale lips aince and twice
And three time 'round again.

And she's bound his wound with the golden rod;
Full fast in her arms he lay,
And he has risen hale and soond
Wi' the sun high in the day. She said:

Ride with you brindled hounds at heel
And your good grey hawk in hand.
There's nane can harm a knight wha's lain
With the Witch of the West-mer-land.
