The Witch And The Jaw Harp

Geillis play for King James VI
pluck your jewes trump harp
you dance then prance 
and twist your wrist 
in tune and rhythm
through the mist 
of song and on till dusk

the King delights with curious
a watchful eye
a witch be though
and lo still die
come hither, done
December, fifteen ninety one
oh Geillis Duncan hung
