Sad time, sad nights, nine times nine Witch's brew night, time on time Eye of toad and toe of frog In the stew goes tongue of dog And the brinded cat doth mew The hedgepig squeals and whines Three sisters hand in hand All chanting magic rhymes Eye of bat and blindworm sting Lizard's leg and swallow's wing Root of hemlock, slips of yew In the stew goes drops of dew And the old war dog doth howl The crow doth screech and scream Three sisters hand in hand All leaping for a dream Sad time, sad nights, nine times nine Witch's brew night, time on time Eye of toad and toe of frog In the stew goes tongue of dog And the brinded cat doth mew The hedgepig squeals and whines Three sisters hand in hand All chanting magic rhymes
