Tom Lehrer, an American writer and performer of satirical songs, wrote "An Irish Ballad"in a simple harmonic minor: Amin, E7, Amin, Dmin, Amin, E7, Amin, etc.:

About a maid I'll sing a song, rickety-tickety-tin, About a maid I'll sing a song, who didn't have her family long; Not only did she do them wrong, she did every one of them in, them in, She did every one of them in.

Her mother she could never stand, rickety-tickety-tin, Her mother she could never stand, and so a cyanide soup she planned. Her mother died with the spoon in her hand, And her face in a hideous grin, a grin, Her face in a hideous grin.

She set her sister's hair on fire, rickety-tickety-tin, She set her sister's hair on fire, and as the flames grew higher and higher, She danced around the funeral pyre, A-playin' the violin, o-lin, A-playin" the violin.

One day when she had nothin' to do, rickeyt-tickety-tin, One day when she had nothin' to do, she cut her baby brother in two, And served him up in and Irish stew, And invited the neighbors in, -bors in, She invited the neighbors in.

And when at last the police came by, rickety-tickety-tin, And when at last the police came by her little pranks she did not deny, To do so she would have had to lie, And lyin' she knew was a sin, a sin, Yes, lyin' she knew was a sin.

There are two more verses--her father and her brother--but I can't remember them. If anyone knows them, I'd love to have them again. My brother stole my Tom Lehrer songbook.
