she took her own life by way of a rope
on a shearing shed rafter she hung
with life's stresses she couldn't cope
there was no oxygen in her lungs
this is what her daughter Emma found
on a shearing shed rafter she hung
much sadness and shock was around
her depressive condition she did hide
this is what her daughter Emma found
Jean decided to take a suicide ride
ever so devastated were her kith and kin
her depressive condition she did hide
the air of life is a vapor so very thin
one should be thinking of existing
ever so devastated were her kith and kin
on a death ticket Jean did her traveling
one should be thinking of existing
she took her own life by way of a rope
with life's stresses she couldn't cope
