Witchfinder General Lyrics

Carl Douglas Witchfinder General

Witchfinder General,

Gives everyone a fright

Witchfinder General,

This man’s really outta sight!

Says he’s got a thing about burnin’ witches

Some of these were mighty fine bitches

Nobody knows if he’s doin’ right

Another cord, he does ‘em all,

Ride right through the night

Witchfinder General,

What’s this thing your doin’?

Witchfinder General,

They’ll be nobody left by the time you’re through

His opening line’s "Tell me who’s the one?

They will confess before the morning sun"

You just gotta be cool when he’s around

So listen here, better beware,

When he rides into your town!

Witchfinder General,

Another one down

Witchfinder General,

This guy don’t mess around now

Come on, Witchfinder General,

Witchfinder General,

He’s got the finest steed

Witchfinder General,

You see, got to get to fair with speed

Witchfinder General,

Burning, burning everything in sight!

Witchfinder General…
