The Witch of the Westmorland
Archie Fisher

G G C C G G Em7 Em7
Pale was the wounded knight that bore the rowan shield


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
Loud and cruel were the raven's cries that feasted on the field


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
Saying beck water cold and clear will never clean your wound


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
There's none but the witch of the Westmorland can make thee hale and sound


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
So turn, turn your stallion's head til his red mane flies in the wind


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
And the rider of the moon goes by and the bright star falls behind


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
And clear was the paley moon when his shadow passed him by


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
Below the hills were the brightest stars when he heard the owlet cry


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
Saying "Why do you ride this way, and wherefore came you here?"


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
"I seek the Witch of the Westmorland who dwells by the winding mere"


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
And it's weary by the Ullswater and the misty brake fern way


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
Til through the cleft of the Kirkstone Pass the winding water lay


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
He said "Lie down, my brindled hound, and rest ye, my good grey hawk"


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
And thee, my steed, may graze thy fill for I must dismount and walk


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
But come when you hear my horn and answer swift the call


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
For I fear ere the sun will rise this morn ye will serve me best of all."


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
And it's down to the water's brim he's born the rowan shield


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
And the goldenrod he has cast in to see what the lake might yield


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
And wet rose she from the lake, and fast and fleet went she


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
One half the form of a maiden fair with a jet black mare's body


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
And loud, long and shrill he blew til his steed was by his side


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
High overhead the grey hawk flew and swiftly he did ride


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
Say "Course well, my brindled hound, and fetch me the jet black mare


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
Stoop and strike, my good grey hawk, and bring me the maiden fair."


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
She said "Pray, sheathe thy silvery sword. Lay down thy rowan shield


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
For I see by the briny blood that flows you've been wounded in the field"


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
And she stood in a gown of velvet blue, bound round with a silver chain


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
and she's kissed his pale lips one and twice and three times round again


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
And she's bound his wounds with the goldenrod, full fast in her arms he lay


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
and he has risen hale and sound with the sun high in the day


G G C C G G Em7 Em7
She said "Ride with your brindled hound at heel and your good grey hawk in hand


G G D7 D7 Em Em C C D D
There's none can harm the knight who's lain with the Witch of the Westmorland"
