Little Lucy
Lost her mother
And her father
Didn't care.
He walked
Right by her
And he never
Said a word.
But Lucy knew
His deepest secret
And she hoped
He didn't know.
She'd been murdered --
Lucy's mother --
And Lucy knew
By who.
She'd never tell,
She was afraid.
Did her father
Know she knew?
Poor, poor Lucy
Lost her life
Because, yes,
Her father knew.

Lost her mother

And he never
Said a word.
But Lucy knew

And she hoped

She'd been murdered --

And Lucy knew
By who.
She'd never tell,
She was afraid.
Did her father
Know she knew?
Poor, poor Lucy
Lost her life
Because, yes,
Her father knew.
