Story behind the song
The last 'witch' to be burned alive at the stake and buried beneath a large stone at Scrapfag-got Green until an American GI moved the stone in WWII...
Lyrics
Scrapfag-got Green ©2011 Andrew LeFevre Verse 1 Scrapfag-got green she was only eighteen when they burned her at the stake saying all her plea’s were fake Then at dawn’s first gleam, her ashes could be seen at Scrapfag-got green Verse 2 Making doubly sure that they’d hear no more They put her deep in the ground ‘neath the largest stone found And there she slept and some say she wept at Scrapfag-got green Chorus 1 She’ll never hurt any body, she never hurt a soul She’ll never hurt any body, despite the life they stole Verse 3 T’was the year of our lord, forty four they record When her stone on the green got moved by marines Then her spirit woke and finally she spoke at Scrapfag-got green Verse 4 She said despite what they’ve done I’m gonna have some fun Gonna move things all around so nothing can be found Then they’ll remember me in the tales of Great Leigh’s at Scrapfag-got green Chorus 1 She’ll never hurt any body, she never hurt a soul She’ll never hurt any body, despite the life they stole Break Well there’s still a trace of her here winding clocks back to yesteryear When she gathered eggs and corn for pennies and folk would hear her singing Chorus 2 I’ll never hurt any body, I never hurt a soul I’ll never hurt any body, despite my life they stole No I’ll never hurt any body, I never hurt a soul I’ll never hurt any body, despite my life they stole
