Old Mother Lee

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 
     Down by the sea 
     Where the walnuts grow
     I lost my love, I dare not go

She held a baby in her arms...

She had a penknife long and sharp... 

She stabbed the baby in the heart... 

The county police came riding by...

The magistrate said she must die... 

They hanged her from the walnut tree...

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