about

The words of this song were taken from a bill of costs for the trial of two Scottish women convicted of witchcraft in the 1597 Aberdeen witch panic. Their names are Janet Wishart and Isobel Crocker.

lyrics

For twenty loads of peat
To burn them
For a boll of coal
For four tar barrels
For fir and iron barrels

For one justice of their execution

13 shillings
For the justice
13 shillings
For the justice

For a stake and the dressing of it
For four fathoms to tows
For carrying the peat and the coal to the hill

For one justice of their execution

13 shillings
For the justice
13 shillings
For the justice
