Who might that be?
We have sold our last loaf of bread.
It's the witch from next door!
But we have no bread!
Of course you have no bread!
What do you wish?
It's not what I wish!
It's what you wish!
[F] in
cooking [Bb] in there now, is there?
The old intentress went on to tell the couple that she'd placed a spell on their house.
What [Ebm] spell?
In the [Bbm] past, when you were no more than [Ebm] a babe,
your father brought his young wife and you to this cottage.
They were a handsome couple, but not [B] handsome neighbors.
You see, your mother was with child, and she had developed [Bb] an unusual [F] appetite.
She took one look at my beautiful garden and told your father what she wanted.
More than anything in the world was greens, [Ebm] greens, and nothing but greens.
[Eb] Parsley, peppers, cabbages, and celery, asparagus, [Ab] and watercress, and fiddlebirds, and lettuce.
He said, all right.
But it wasn't quite, because I caught [Bb] him in the autumn in my garden one [Eb] night.
He was robbing me, raping me, rooting through my [C] rutabaga, raining my
[A] I should have laid a spell on him.

[Ab] But [Bb] I let him have the rampion.
I'd let you spare.
[Gb] Return, however, I said, [Bbm] fair is fair.
You can let me have [Gbm] the baby that your wife will [Eb] bear.
And we'll call it square.
I had a [Ab] brother.
No!
But you had a sister.
[Gb] But the witch refused to tell him any more of his sister.
Not even that her name was Rapunzel.
She went on.
I thought I had been more than reasonable, and that we all might [Ab] live happily.
[G] [Gb] But how was I to know what your father had also hidden in his pocket?
You see, when I had inherited that garden, my mother had warned me that I would be punished
if I were ever to lose any of [Dbm] the beans.
Beans?
My special beans.
[C] I let him go.
I didn't know he stole my beans.
I was watching [Bb] him crawl back over the wall [Gb] when very fast, [Ab] the lightning flashed.
Oh, that's another story.
Never mind.
Anyway, unless the big day came, I made my claim.
Don't take [Ab] her with the baby, they shrieked and screeched.
But I did, and I hid her where she'll never be reached.
Your father could measure.
I admit it was [Bb] a pleasure.
I said, sorry, I'm still not [B] mollified.
And I laid a little [Db] spell on them.
You too, son.

[Bb] Your family tree would always be a barren one.
No!

[Gbm] [Gb]
[Ebm] didn't try, you should see my nectarines.
But I'm telling you the same I tell kings [Bb] and queens.
Don't ever, ever, ever mess around with my greens.
