G G Bb Bb C C G G
Granny Green was stooped as a windblown branch
Bb Bb F F
She lived high in the bramble forest
G G Bb Bb C C G G
Once a fortnight, if the moon shone right
Bb Bb F F
she came down to our little village
G G Bb Bb C C G G
She brought blackberries and willow bark
Bb Bb F F
mandrake root and mushrooms
G G Bb Bb C C G G
And it was said she spoke the tongue of birds
Bb Bb F F
And understood the river s whispers

Eb Eb Bb Bb
Now several girls among our town
F F Cm Cm
by a golden lizard they were bitten
G G Bb Bb C C G G
And those sweet girls lay stiff in their beds
Bb Bb C C G G
like frozen ice up on the branches
G G Bb Bb C C G G
Granny Green mixed a tonic for their ills
Bb Bb F F
but it was such a bitter tonic
G G Bb Bb C C G G
All who drank began to dance
Bb Bb F F
and could not stop their dancing
Cm Cm Gm Gm
But none would have danced one sinful step
Bb Bb C C G G
If that old crone had not bewitched us

G G Bb Bb C C G G
Bb Bb F F

G G Bb Bb C C G G
How we leaped and pranced and cackled
Bb Bb F F
the whole town writhing madmen
Cm Cm Gm Gm
And so desperate grew some to still their feet
Bb Bb C C Gm Gm
they dove into the raging river
Eb Eb Bb Bb
Still we danced on day and night
F F Cm Cm
till our fine clothes were torn and ragged
G G Bb Bb C C G G
And crying out, Oh, Lord, make us stop!
Bb Bb C C G G
we danced naked round the chapel
G G Bb Bb C C G G
How Granny laughed to see such sin.
Bb Bb F F
It s just water, she said, in my tonic!
G G Bb Bb C C G G
But all cried out, She lies! She surely lies!
Bb Bb C C G G
and chased her deep into the bramble
Eb Eb Bb Bb
But like the four winds she disappeared
F F Cm Cm
Though we searched round and round the branches
G G Bb Bb C C G G
Rolling in leaves and naked neath the trees
Bb Bb C C G G
we lost the way back to our village

Cm Cm Gm Gm

Eb Eb Bb Bb
But I swear we were all pure of heart
F F Cm Cm
till that old crone did bewitch us
G G Bb Bb C C G G
And I know we will all go home
Bb Bb C C G G
when the good Lord returns to save us

Cm Cm Gm Gm
Bb Bb C C G G
