_ [Ab] _ Here's one of [Bb] Connie's songs called The Witch and the [Ab] Wizard, and in fact it does
involve a witch and a wizard and a little elf, _ but hidden in there is a pretty vivid
description of a marriage made in hell. _
[Dm] A witch [A] there was and a wizard as well, Moved into a rose-covered cottage in hell,
[D] A rose [A]-covered cottage in hell.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The [Dm] wizard, in [A] spite of his wizardly eyes, [D] Didn't know he had married a witch in [A] disguise.
_ [C] He thought her a very [D] respectable _ [G] maid, And hoped she would never discover [A] his [E] trade. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] The witch was [A] not wanting [D] in [E] womanly while, [Bm] She covered [A] her bridegroom with waffles and [E] smile. _
[C] She [G] only went witching on [D] Saturday night, And [G] hoped in between times it all would [A] go right.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Next day the witch bore the wizard [A] an elf, [Dm] So handsome he [A] looked like the devil himself,
[D] And he was [B] the devil [D] _ [A] himself.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] The wizard [A] looked [D] down at his son's [A] surprise, _ [D] Saying none of [A] my family has lavender eyes.
[C] I think for my honor [D] there's only one course, I'll [G] ask you to grant me an instant [A] _
[E] divorce. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] The witch was in [E] tears, for [D] she knew beyond doubt, She certainly [A] hadn't been gadding [E] about.
[C] And now since the baby had [D] lavender eyes, She [G] saw very clearly her [A] husband's disguise.
_ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] The devil looked up from [Dm] his crib and he [A] smiled. _ _
[Dm] Don't break up [A] your home, you must think of your child, [D] Remember [A] poor little child. _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Dm] A child, [G] said the witch, [D] as is very [A] well known, Requires a mama and papa of his own.
_ [C] Although you're a very [Am] [D] contemptible man, [G] I think we should both stick it [A] out if we can.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] The wizard [D] refused to acknowledge his son, But in [A] dutiful deeds he would not be outdone.
Buy [C] a wife who would waffle [Am] and put [D] things to rights, And [G] stick to her knitting on [A] Saturday _ nights.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] The witch [A] settled down [Dm] and the wizard [A] as well, And both began raising the devil in hell,
In rage, vexation and tear.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] The witch can't [B] stop witching, [Dm] the wizard [A] won't speak,
_ [Dm] And though they've [A] been married for only a week, [D] It seems [A] like a thousand years.
