Subject: Lyr Request: The Ratten Murders
Has anyone heard of this song? Here's what I can remember:
The first was mammy Ratten She tried not to let him in He [forgotten lyrics] That's how the crime begin That's how the crime begin
The next was granny Ratten A settin' a 'fore the fire He snuck on up behind her And choked her with a wire And choked her with a wire
The last was baby Ratten All in his trundel bed He stuck him in the short ribs Until that child were dead And he spat tabacie juice down on that golden head
Much appreciated for any help in solving my memory gap!
