I for one would love to hear more Green Crown. It's easier than many think to get music on something like Spotify. I know it's a strange digital realm, but new audience (ie me) would get to hear the music, and pass it on.
Witch go you fast, witch go you If you will not go fast, witch let me Circling a circle widdershins (counter-clockwise) Linking hands quickly and merrily widdershins, Wives, crones, mothers and young lasses Round go we! Witch go you fast, witch go you If you will not go fast, witch let me Circling a circle widdershins Looping (or weaving) easily and swiftly Tucked up skirts and flying hair Three times three! Witch go you fast, witch go you If you will not go fast, witch let me Circling a circle widdershins Whirling (rotating) screaming louder, widdershins Devil take the last one (furthest behind) Whoever she be!
This sounds like a copy of the live version I recorded at PSG a few years ago as sound engineer. If someone can get in touch with Prydwyn or Diana, I would love to make those tracks available, but I won't do it without their permission. Gods, I miss Green Crown...Bright blessings and fair winds my friends! Griffin.
Hello Griffin this is Violette from Green Crown :) Whitedeer and I would be super happy to have more GC tracks available if you have them. Prydwyn isnt online as far as I can tell, and we are not in touch. The rest of the band is though. I give you my blessings to share away!

@Aenemenoth I forget where I got it, but I have had it for ages. The best suggestion I can think of is trying to contact them through their Myspace page and they might be able to direct you to where they might have it for sale still, if anywhere. They do have the song on their page, so you can always listen to it there {but I don't think you can download it from there}. Good luck! :)

It's Scottish in origin and spread through the British Isles in the 1500s. No doubt, at some point, it crossed the Atlantic with the settlers to the American colonies. (and became American along with them)
Gets stuck in my mind for literally DAYS!
I cannot believe i’ve come back to it. It’s been years and it still sounds fresh to my ears
Love it. As traditional as you could possibly get for Witch music
Side note, only 1500s kids will know this XD
Huh are u a…… a vampire??
@@lineastryberg3126 ...it's a joke. But since you ask? Maybe. Just maybe.
I'm not even sure I have a copy of this CD myself anymore. Thanks for keeping the music alive in this strange new digital realm.
Prydwyn Piper If you have any leads on where to find one please let me know. I want to hear Willows song one more time before I die.

Witch go you fast, witch go you

I take it they never did get in touch. Shame brilliant this
My husband was at that PSG!
I have the 'mini disc' of that recording from the sound booth on the lawn from that PSG.
Devil take the hindmost

The message of this song reminds me of Ludicrous' song "Move Bitch".
Hahaha desperation spare ye all

Actually they she says looping lightly withershins not lapping while

Would like to see a proper broom dance to this. Gird up yer skirts, and a leaping over a wee cauldron fire. I'd like to call it "Real American Witch".
Not American
It's Scottish in origin and spread through the British Isles in the 1500s. No doubt, at some point, it crossed the Atlantic with the settlers to the American colonies. (and became American along with them)
Debbil take the hindmost where'er she be :)

Is a medieval scottish dialect
