The Ballad Of Minnie Dean |
| Minnie was a mother to a hundred or more |
| In Winton Town |
| Red-faced mamas comin' knockin' on your door |
| A whole ten pounds |
| Winter in the south makes the heart beat slow |
| But hearts beat slower in the garden below |
| Three went missin' and the men start diggin' in the ground, the ground |
| Men start diggin' in the ground, three 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 of the women who hangs |
| Then they carried her away and the crowd all followed her down, down |
| The crowd all followed her down, three found |
| Everybody gathered round |
| To see a woman hang in Winton Town |
| To see a woman hang in Winton Town |
