Subject: Lyr Add: The Harry Hayward Song From: RWilhelm Date: 22 May 10 - 12:03 PM On December 3, 1894 Harry Hayward persuaded Claus Blixt to murder Kitty Ging so that Hayward could collect on a life insurance policy. More information here: The Minneapolis Svengali The song was printed in the "Mineapolis Journal" in 1924. The Harry Hayward Song (tune: "The Fatal Wedding") Minneapolis was excited, And for many miles around, For a terrible crime committed Just a mile or so from town. It was a cold and winter's eve The villain did reply Tonight she takes that fatal ride And she shall have to die. Chorus: The stars were shining brightly And the moon had passed away. The roads were dark and lonely When found dead where she lay. Then tell the tale of a criminal She was his promised bride. Just another sin to answer for, Another fatal ride. When for pleasure she went riding Little did she know her fate That took place on that lonely night On the road near Calhoun Lake. She was shot while in the buggy, And beaten, 'tis true to speak, Until all life had vanished, Then was cast into the street. He was at heart a criminal, But a coward of a man, And so he sought another To execute his plan. It was a cold and bloody plot, Likewise a terrible sin To take a life so kind and true As she had been to him. |
