A song passed down fron generation to generation. Surely she wasn't the first wicked witch...

Nothing you replied invalidates the possibility that there could have been many prior wicked witches (regardless of the compass direction) from which a traditionally known song emerged (despite what may or may not have been in any of the books or movie). The song lyrics aren't explicitly about Ozma, or a wicked witch of the east, but are suitably applied for any wicked witch.
