Dickey Lee Old Mother Nature song lyrics

There was an old woman called old Mother Lee

Old Mother Lee, old Mother Lee

There was an old woman called old Mother Lee

Down by the walnut tree

She had a baby in her arms ...

She had a penknife long and sharp ...

She stabbed the baby through the heart ...

The next-door neighbours saw the blood ...

They rang up for the forty police ...

The forty police came running (skipping) out ...

They took her to the magistrate ...

The magistrate said she must die ...

They hung her to the walnut tree ...

And that was the end of old Mother Lee ...
