The Witch Songtext
von Beggars Opera

She was a creature of the land
Leading her armies by the hand

Kings of her country looked around
Who was the witch who took the town

Burn the witch
Burn her at the stake
Burn the witch
Burn her at the stake

Thousands were led to victory
Though everyone said it was heresy

People rebelled from tyranny
Hundreds decried in ecstasy

Burn the witch
Burn her at the stake
Burn the witch
Burn her at the stake


We burned her at the stake
Forgive us our mistake
We burned her at the stake
Forgive us our mistake
We burned her at the stake
Forgive us our mistake
We burned her at the stake
Forgive us our mistake

We burned her at the stake
Forgive us our mistake
We burned her at the stake
Forgive us our mistake
We burned her at the stake
Forgive us our mistake
We burned her at the stake
Forgive us our mistake
We burned her at the stake
