[00:00:00] The Dreadful End of Marianna for Sorcery - Shantalla

[00:00:01] Written by：K. Polwart

[00:00:28] Marianna o' the howe was a young lassie wi' gowden hair

[00:00:35] Sweet and honest true and bonnie and lover of one John Sinclair

[00:00:42] Marianna met the factor at the dawning at the fold

[00:00:48] And he said lie with me now

[00:00:50] Marianna and you will not want for gold

[00:00:56] Well I thank you for your offer

[00:00:59] But I fear it cannot be

[00:01:03] I maun lie with John Sinclair and

[00:01:06] He's the only one for me

[00:01:10] And the factor sore affronted whispered evil of her name

[00:01:17] Every sorrow and misfortune 'twas Marianna was to blame

[00:01:24] Soon there came a deputation

[00:01:27] Marianna for to see

[00:01:31] For to slight her reputation

[00:01:34] The de'il has laid his hands on ye

[00:01:38] Ye've soured the cream and blighted corn and

[00:01:41] Danced wi' fairies on the hill

[00:01:45] Ye who are of devil born

[00:01:48] And ye who bow to no man's will

[00:01:52] Seven evenings seven mornings they spoke of Marianna ill

[00:01:59] And they shamed her stripped her and maimed her

[00:02:03] But they never tamed her will

[00:02:06] Let her sweetness not deceive you evil hides itself right well

[00:02:13] Once within it will never leave you

[00:02:17] Marianna you'll burn in hell

[00:02:49] Who are these who stand against me

[00:02:52] How are these who slight my name

[00:02:56] Let them tell their lies before God

[00:02:59] And let them hang their heads in shame

[00:03:03] Then she saw a sight that grieved her

[00:03:06] All the hope inside her died

[00:03:10] John Sinclair all clad in satin standing by the factor's side

[00:03:17] I was child and now a woman

[00:03:21] But I shall be no man's wife

[00:03:24] For my love has me forsaken

[00:03:28] And I want no more of this life

[00:03:31] They've shorn the hair from

[00:03:33] Marianna the witch's snare o' gowden thread

[00:03:39] Marched her tae the Gallowsha' whipped and her sair until she bled

[00:03:46] In the crowd she spied her lover

[00:03:49] And he had his new coat on

[00:03:53] Soon the flames danced all above her

[00:03:57] And the people danced 'til the dawn

[00:04:00] Marianna o' the Howe was a young lassie wi' gowden hair

[00:04:07] Sweet and honest true and Bonnie

[00:04:11] Betrayed by the factor and John Sinclair
