We Deal Kindly With Witches

We Deal Kindly With Witches

By Elton Camp

The Puritans were righteous as can be
And killed every witch they did see
Dame Goody they did accuse
To confess she did refuse
Didn’t burn; hung her from a tree


(The burning of witches was in Europe.  The Puritans merely hanged, drowned, or crushed them to death with stones.)
