Witches Reel

With Yule fast upcoming, this is for you my witchy friends, thanks to Keith who clued me in to this old dance:

Cummer gae ye before, cummer gae ye,
Gin ye winna gae before, cummer let me,
Ring-a-ring-a-widdershins
Linkin lithely widdershins,
Cummers carlin cron and queyn
Roun gae we!

Cummer gae ye before, cummer go ye
Gin ye winna gae before, cummer let me
Ring-a-ring-a-widdershins
Loupin’ lightly widdershins,
Kilted coats and fleein’ hair
Three times three!

Cummer go ye before, cummer go ye
Gin ye winna gae before, cummer let me
Ring-a-ring-a-widdershins
Whirlin’ skirlin’ widdershins,
>De’il take the hindmost
Wha’er she be!
