Following on from "Hop Ta Naa" the Isle of Man celebration that is now intermingled with Halloween I give you "Ginnie The Witch." Alternative spelling of Jinnie can be found too. What do witches have, a black cat of course. This one isn't actually true black if you look closely, but the eyes are true green. Back to Ginnie.

Ginne the witch is the "Manx English" version of the Hop Tu Naa from yesterday. Here's the poem. Well two versions of the poem. Just to be typically Manx, why have one just one version.

Ginnie The Witch

Hop-tu-Naa

My mother's gone away

And she won't be back until the morning

Jinnie the Witch flew over the house

To fetch the stick to lather the mouse

Hop-tu-Naa

My mother's gone away

And she won't be back until the morning

Hop-tu-Naa, Traa-la-laa

Or alonger version

Hop-tu-naa put in a pot

Hop-tu-naa I scolded me throat

Hop-tu-naa I met an old woman

Hop-tu-naa She was baking bonnags

Hop-tu-naa I asked for a bit

Hop-tu-naa she gave me a bit

as big as me big toe

Hop-tu-naa she dipped it in milk

Hop-tu-naa she wrapped it in silk

Hop-tu-naa, Traa la lay

Jinnie the witch is in you house

Give me a penny and I'll chase her out

Hop-tu-naa, Traa la lay
