The Water Witch
It always amazed me, have seen it several times before
The strange things that Mother Nature has in her bag of tricks
No voodoo or whoodoo, no fairy dust
But makes one wonder what is in store
Looks like cooper wire or just sticks
The end results are ones that you can trust
A young green tree limb that forks mid-way
Or a cooper wire forked will do the same
Walk and let the search begin
Hold the ends tight and see what the point has to say
It is almost like a game
If there is under ground water, the end will bend
They say that a person's electricity has a lot to do with this
It is the power source,like a magnet to where the H20 can be found
The magic wand will show you where it is at
The ones that can do this seldom miss
It will not make a sound
There has to be some of nature's magic in that
I have seen some witch shallow wells and some 500 feet deep
I think that it the amount of water below the ground, rather it be a river or stream
Like a man with a fishing pole
They can find water in a heap
Like in their sleep having a sweet dream
A water witch can tell you where to drill that hole
