This rhyme was sung by Modesty Barebone in 1926, New York. Its lyrics focused on anti-witchcraft and witch-hunting.[1]
Lyrics[]
My momma, your momma, gonna catch a witch,
My momma, your momma, flying on a switch,
My momma, your momma, witches never cry,
My momma, your momma, witches gonna die!
Witch number one, drown in a river!
Witch number two, got a noose to give her!
Witch number three, gonna watch her burn,
Witch number four, flogging take a turn.[1]
