[ Verse 1 ]
Lizzie Borden took an ax
Gave her mother forty whacks
When she saw what she had done
Gave her father forty-one

[ Chorus ]
Lizzie Borden got away
For her crime she will not pay

[ Verse 2 ]
Andrew Borden now is dead
Lizzie hit him on the head
Up in Heaven he will sing
In the gallows she will swing

[ Chorus ]

[ Verse 3 ]
Lizzie Borden bend your head
Don't you wish that you were dead
Lizzie Borden bend your knee
1, 2, 3—there goes she

[ Repeat Verse 1 ]
