On our old Bloody Ballads album (Dean Gitter?) were several which ended in punch lines: Pearl Bryan is decapitated by her lover and his friend, and only the body is found, not the head, and the killers refused to divulge its location. The final verse is So you girls who fall in love / you still may be misled / don't take any hasty actions / oh girls, don't lose your head!

Then there is the one where boy gets girl pregnant, boy takes girl out on a pretext, boy kills girl, boy is caught, girl's sister testifies, boy is hanged... and this one ended with Her sister swore my life away, I'm hellbound without doubt / She swore I was the very man who took her sister out!
