The Rattles "The Witch" (1970)



The Rattles were the top German rock’n roll band through the 1960s. The band started in Hamburg, Germany in 1960...before the arrival of the Beatles. They were the first German band to play the Star Club. They had a string of hits in Germany. They starred in their own movie. By the Seventies, they had evolved from a beat group to something that sounds like pre-glitter/glam rock. In 1970, they scored their first international hit with The Witch.

The Witch

Can't you see me runnin'
I am really runnin'
for ma life
guess from where I'm
comin'
guess why I'm runnin
for my life.

Can't you see the witch
can't you see the witch
can't you see the witch by my side.

Can't you see the witch
can't you see the witch
can't you see the witch by my side.

Can't you see my deathfear
I can hear her voice
Shoutin' everywhere
who know what I've could done
it must be so bad
that a witch does care.

Can't you see the witch
can't you see the witch
can't you see the witch by my side.

Can't you see the witch
can't you see the witch
can't you see the witch by my side.
