Below is a song written by an audience member in response to the performance
Molly Leigh
Molly Leigh over yonder you stand with your flaming hair and your lily white hands.
Through the ink smudged page of history, stands the legend of the witch of Molly Leigh.
Chorus
Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh you can’t catch me, don’t run to the cowshed don’t run to the tree.
Run for your life but you’ll never catch me.
Did Good Fortune you leave behind for a true love for you to find.
Did the lynch mob kill you the day you died. Did the Good Lord call you to his side.
Chorus
Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh you can’t catch me, don’t run to the cowshed don’t run to the tree.
Run for your life but you’ll never catch me.
In Burslem Square on this very day, upon my life I swear they do say
At Saint John’s Church in the dead of night you can hear a haunting cry of a witches plight.
Chorus
Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh, Molly Leigh you can’t catch me, don’t run to the cowshed don’t run to the tree.
Run for your life but you’ll never catch me.
