[Verse 1]

Spare me all the petty details

The drunken tales so spun with valor

Now sweet will soon turn sour

They found her with blood beneath her nails

Curled up in the river and her limbs had become splinters

[Chorus]

It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane

My love, oh my love, sing for me once more

Behind the walls they can't see the pain

And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore

[Verse 2]

Elizabeth who lives down on the main

Tell her she's suspected

And the evidence suggested

She's guilty of bewitching my dear Jane

I hear there's twenty more just like her

And the devils dare not spite her

[Chorus]

It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane

My love, oh my love, sing for me once more

Behind the walls they can't see the pain

And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore

[Bridge]

Hang the witches, burn the crows!

This village be unholy

We've gone to hell so slowly

Though laconic, this rotten lot all knows

It's best to keep our heads

Lest we be conjured from our beds

[Chorus]

It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane

My love, oh my love, sing for me once more

Behind the walls they can't see the pain

And the scars on my heart that she tore and tore

[Outro]

It's become a witch hunt for the murderer of Jane

Did they see through my lies and facade of moans?

Behind the walls they found out my feign

And the scars on her back, and the slits in her bones
