Alan Stevens Hewitt - Forty Whacks Lyrics

[ENSEMBLE]
Lizzie Borden took an axe
Gave her mother forty whacks
When she saw what she had done
Gave her father forty-one

I am Alice Russel. I have lived in Fall River a good many years. All that time the Bordens have occupied the house next door. I exchanged calls with Miss Lizzie Borden regularly. She always received me upstairs

The name's Bridget Sullivan. I was sometimes called "Maggie" by Miss Emma and Miss Lizzie, it bein' the name of the previous girl. I came to Fall River four years ago, have worked for the Bordens ever since

My full name is Emma L. Borden. The L is for Lenora. I am the sister of Miss Lizzie Borden. I was just a trifle over fourteen when my father married for the second time, and I remember my mother very well

My name is is Lizzie Andrew Borden. Not Elizabeth, Lizzie. Andrew -- after my father I was so christened. I am innocent. I leave it to my council to speak for me
