lyrics

Cackle cackle Mother Goose
Tiny little town
Come with fire, water, noose
All fall down

Cackle cackle Mother Goose
Tiny little town
Come with fire, water, noose
All fall down

First they came for Abigail, told her to repent
Wide-eyed, she replied she didn’t know what they meant
They did not believe her, she was branded a liar
And set ablaze upon a funeral pyre

Next they came for Eleanor and gave her a chance
To ask for forgiveness for that midnight Sabbath dance
So she begged them for mercy, fell on her knees
They picked her up and hung her from a tree

Then they went for Isabelle but she refused to speak
So they bound her in twine and they took her to the creek
They said that her silence was proof of her sin
So they prayed for her soul as they pushed her in

Away in a forest, deep in the trees
Three sisters danced where they thought no one else could see
But the sky was clear and the moon was bright
And you never know who’s watching you at night
No, you never know who’s watching you at night

Cackle cackle Mother Goose
Tiny little town
Come with fire, water, noose
All fall down

Cackle cackle Mother Goose
Tiny little town
Come with fire, water, noose
All fall down

Cackle cackle Mother Goose
Tiny little town
Come with fire, water, noose
All fall down
