I cruelly her blood did spill,

With a rolling pin and bar of iron,

I did Mrs. Grossmith kill.

Farewell my parents, friends and kindred,

Adieu! a last and fond adieu!

Your unhappy son, that deed has done,

Don’t let it bring disgrace on you;

The day I killed my dearest mistress,

Sudden, in anger, spleen, and rage,

Upon the floor, I shed her gore,
