This is an original that I wrote for an earlier season. The recording is new with my brand new baritone "lutelele" which arrived this week.
The song is a light hearted take on the hazards of consulting the local witch without thinking things through. Lyrics & Chords below the video.
The Pudding
Words & Music: Geoff Walker
[Em]In our town lived a [G]fair maid
Who [Em]loved a lad who she [D]dare not tell
So she [Em]saw a [G]wise woman
To [Em]ask for a potion or [D]cast a [Em]spell
Chorus
A [Em]pudding, a pudding, a [G]pudding made well
A [Em]pudding for a [D]magic [Em]spell
Go and make a pudding so fine
With the sweetest finest dough
and fill it with the fruits so sweet
And place it by your love's front door
Chorus
She's made the finest pudding e'er seen
With the sweetest finest dough
Filled with fruits ta'en from the forest
And placed it by her love's front door
Chorus
Her love came out of his front door
And saw her lovely pudding there
He wondered who'd been passing by
When he saw a lady fair.
Chorus
Our fair maid's to a wedding gone
But she's gone there in despair
With tearful eyes she watched her love
Marry another lady fair.
Chorus
The moral of this tale is clear
If you tempt him with a pudding spell
Do not just leave it by his door
But make sure that you stay as well
Chorus x2
