White Witch of Rose Hall Songtext
von Jess and the Ancient Ones

The white witch of Rose Hall
The devil she could call
Mother Ruthford come one day
Into Montego Bay
The great house
An accountant man
Annie Palmer had to have this man

The white witch of Rose Hall
A beauty above all
The slaves out in the fields
Had brothers who were killed
This obeah made the spirits rise
Destroying the unwanted with her eyes


By night in the black
When she did rise
Anyone in her path would die
Robert met Millicent one fine day
Now the girl stood in Annie′s way

Her life meant nothing without his love
But she couldn't bear the evil of

The white witch of Rose Hall
The devil she could call
Robert′s love then died
The blame Annie denied
But the father
Of this dead slave girl
Casted Annie from his world

The white witch of Rose Hall
The devil she could call
The white witch of Rose Hall
The devil she could call
