The song describes the foraging of sacred plants, presumably for some sort of ritual.
It was featured in the end credits of “Witches”, Season 2 Episode 9 of the FX show “What We Do In The Shadows”), in which Matt Berry plays the lead role of Laszlo Cravensworth.
[Chorus]
Gather up the dill and the thyme and the walnuts
The fennel and the sage and the garlic and the foxgloves
Gather up the mint and the lemon balm and henbane
Mistletoe and mandrake, the poke and the nightshade
Gather up the dill and the thyme and the walnuts
The fennel and the sage and the garlic and the foxgloves
Gather up the mint and the lemon balm and henbane
Mistletoe and mandrake, the poke and the nightshade
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Gather up the dill and the thyme and the walnuts
The fennel and the sage and the garlic and the foxgloves
Gather up the mint and the lemon balm and henbane
Mistletoe and mandrake, the poke and the nightshade
Gather up the dill and the thyme and the walnuts
The fennel and the sage and the garlic and the foxgloves
Gather up the mint and the lemon balm and henbane
Mistletoe and mandrake, the poke and the nightshade
[Outro]
Gather up the dill and the thyme and the walnuts
The fennel and the sage and the garlic and the foxgloves
Gather up the mint and the lemon balm and henbane
Mistletoe and mandrake, the poke and the nightshade
Gather up the dill and the thyme and the walnuts
The fennel and the sage and the garlic and the foxgloves
Gather up the mint and the lemon balm and henbane
Mistletoe and mandrake, the poke and the nightshade
