lyrics

Well they used to say to bad children,
they’d say Minnie Dean will carry you away
She’d a mean and nasty, cruel and evil
and the grass don’t even grow on her grave.

Well, she was a cold woman and people didn’t really like her very much.
when the pig farming failed she took to farming babies.
she was’t too good at that either and a lot of the babies died
just like the pigs.

Well they saw her get on a train with a baby and a hat box.
Somewhere along that train ride the child disappeared.
So they dug up her garden and they found skeletons in her closet
It was an accident she said. I just hid the bodies.

Well the judge said that she was either innocent
or guilty as sin
People understood that he meant the latter
so they took her out and hanged her in a carpark in front of the Noel Leeming store
People who couldn’t see from the back, they went inside the store and watched it all on 42 inch plasma TVs
They said it was just like being there.
