The Clootie tree<br />
1<br />
Beltane<br />

Samhain<br />
We’re visiting the Clootie tree, take some cloth and come with me.<br />
We’ll go in May on the day of Beltane, or else in November, we call that Samhain.<br />
Dip the cloth in the well and make it wet, now circle the well, we’re not done yet.<br />
If you happen to have an ache or a pain, you can rub the cloth there to take it away.<br />

We’ll throw a coin inside the well, then say a prayer or maybe a spell.<br />
Now it’s time to go to the tree, that hawthorn there, do you see?<br />
Let’s take your cloth and tie it on, like so many others have already done.<br />
Clootie wells and trees can be found in Ireland, Scotland and on the Isle of Man.<br />
People have been fol<strong>low</strong>ing this old tradition for many, many years.<br />
