reesha dyer - mrs dyer, the baby farmer كلمات الأغنية

the old baby farmer has been executed
it’s quite time that she was put out of the way
she was a bad woman, it is not disputed
not a word in her favour can anyone say

that old baby farmer the wretch mrs dyer
at the old bailey her wages is paid
in times long ago we’d have made a big fire
and roasted so nicely that wicked old jade

it seems rather hard to run down a woman
but this one was hardly a woman at all
to make a fine living in ways so inhuman
carousing in comfort on poor girls’ downfall

poor girls who fell down from the straight path of virtue
what could they do with a child in their arms?
the fault they committed they could not undo
so the baby was sent to the cruel baby farm

that old baby farmer the wretch mrs dyer
at the old bailey her wages is paid
in times long ago we’d have made a big fire
and roasted so nicely that wicked old jade

to all these sad crimes there must be an ending
secrets like these forever can’t last
say as you like, there is no defending
the horrible tales we have heard in the past

it seems really awful how her heart could harden
for when the bow street law officers came
they found twenty little bodies a-buried in the garden, and one or two more down the old kitchen drain

what did she think as she stood on the gallows?
poor little victims in front of her eyes
her heart, if she had one, must have been callous
the rope round her neck – how quickly time flies

that old baby farmer the wretch mrs dyer
at the old bailey her wages is paid
in times long ago we’d have made a big fire
and roasted so nicely that wicked old jade

down through the trapdoor quick disappearing
the old baby farmer has come to her harm
the sound of her own death bell’s toll she was hearing
maybe she went to the cruel baby farm!
