Lyrics

She was a young barmaid and for him did fall
But he was a pirate – he heard the sea call
He followed his heart – broke hers on the way
And never returned to her, not to this day
What would Goody Hallett do? She’d cast a spell on you
I think you’d better run – because Goody Hallett’s come undone
She bore him a son who died in her arms
Just a few hours old, she’d done him no harm
She cursed the boy’s father who’d chosen the sea
And with that sealed the fate of Black Sam Bellamy
What would Goody Hallett do? She’d cast a spell on you
I think you’d better run – because Goody Hallett’s lost her son
Her choice got her cast out, and known as a witch
They called her a harlot, a whore and a bitch
Some say she still wanders the dunes in the night
Be she ghost or a witch, she’s an unholy sight
What would Goody Hallett do? She’d cast a spell on you
I think you’d better run – because Goody Hallett’s come undone
They say that she laughed when the Widdah went down
Black Sam never surfaced, the word is he drowned
So boys listen up, for now you’ve been warned
You’ll meet your demise when this woman’s been scorned
What would Goody Hallett do? She’d cast a spell on you
I think you’d better run – because Goody Hallett has a gun
And she’s not afraid to use it
