Lyrics copyright Damh the Bard 2014 Gather branches of hazel, Oak and ash and thorn, Tie them with a green willow, Blessed by a crown of horn, The corn headless before us, Falls down to the scythe, Weave him with thanksgiving, Place the Corn Doll inside. Give thanks to our Mother, And the Green Man of the Spring, Thank the Goddess of Harvest, Thanks to the Fallen King, The three men from the west. Their fortunes for to try, And they did all agree, John Barleycorn must die. Chorus: Wicker Man, oh Wicker Man, Like a mighty God you stand, You are guardian of our land, Take our prayers oh Wicker Man. Wicker Man, oh Wicker Man, Like a mighty God you stand, You are guardian of our land, Take our prayers oh Wicker
