    Please let me know what you find out on this. I'd bet at least 25 cents - maybe even 50 cents - the song, or at least this version was written in
    the last ten years. It seems too obvious a devil & witch thing to be an
    old song.
    Nicely worded though. =========================================================================

    I'll take that fifty cents ;~)
    I remember singing this song in high school (graduated in 1983), and the sheet music was yellowed and frail at the time.
