The Ballad Of Minnie Dean

Minnie was a mother to a hundred or more In winton town Red faced mamas coming knocking on your door A whole ten pounds Winter in the south makes the heart beat slow But hearts beat slow in the garden below Then the 3 went missing and the men start digging In the ground the ground Men start digging in the ground, 3 found Bring poor Minnie downtown But a woman won't hang in Winton town Hundreds in the room when Minnie stood trial Many more outside Minnie you're accused of a serious crime Infanticide The crowd all cheered as the gavel rang But have mercy on the soul on the women who hangs Then they carried her away and the crowd all followed her down down The crowd all followed her down, 3 found Everybody gathered round To see a woman hang in winton town Oh see a woman hang in winton town
