the ballad of minnie dean - marlon williams lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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

[chorus 1]
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

[verse 2]
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

[chorus 2]
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
