Subject: Lyr Add: WHO WERE THE WITCHES? (Bonnie Lockhart) From: open mike Date: 03 Oct 11 - 06:28 PM This can be heard on YouTube:
WHO WERE THE WITCHES?
CHORUS: Who were the witches? Where did they come from?
Witches knew all about flowers and weeds,
When women had babies, the witches were there
Some people thought that the witches were bad. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Who Were the Witches? (Bonnie Lockhart) From: FreddyHeadey Date: 09 Jun 19 - 02:05 PM Bonnie Lockhart on "Dreams, Drums & Green Thumbs" (2002) The lyrics are on the Bonnie Lockhart website, undated https://www.bonnielockhart.com/Lyrics.htm#wwtw Also a YouTube with Anne Hill singing https://youtu.be/ggONd30ofRI The track is on an Anne Hill album dated 2000 https://www.discogs.com/Anne-Hill-Circle-Round-And-Sing/release/12227622 It goes with a book "Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions" Paperback – February 1, 2000 by Starhawk (Author), Diane Baker (Author), Anne Hill (Author), Sara Ceres Boore(Illustrator) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Circle-Round-Raising-Children-Tradition/dp/0553378058/ Anne Hill's contact page(2019) https://annehill.org/contact though it doesn't mention her songwriting. [I did check, the photo of her on the Amazon link above matches the videos as far as I can tell] Note from Joe Offer: there's a link above to a recording by Anne Hill. I listened, and I did not recognize the voice - so I don't think this is the well-known singer Anne HillS. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Who Were the Witches? (Bonnie Lockhart) From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Sep 19 - 05:27 PM WHO WERE THE WITCHES? by Bonnie Lockhart ©2002 Bonnie Lockhart CHORUS Who were the witches? Where did they come from? Maybe your great, great grandmother was one. Witches were wise, wise women they say. And there’s a little witch in every woman today! Witches knew all about flowers and weeds. How to use all their roots and their leaves and their seeds. When people grew weary from hard-workin’ days, They made ’em feel better in so many ways. (chorus) When women had babies the witches were there To hold them and help them and give them care. Witches knew stories of how life began. Don’t you wish you could be one? Well, maybe you can! (chorus) Some people thought that the witches were bad. Some people were scared of the power they had. But power to help and to heal and to care Isn’t something to fear, it’s a pleasure to share. (chorus) Source: http://www.bonnielockhart.com/Lyrics.htm Note: in the second line of the second verse, singers add a word to even out the meter: "give them sweet care," "give them some care."
