Six weeks before he was due to retire

My grandpa was called to a break in at a hardware store in town

He found three boys from the city there

And told them to surrender their weapons

They did nothing of the sort and shot him six times

When my mom heard of this she went in search of these kids

And found them resting near the state line

They drew their guns but did not fire they just laughed at her

That was their big mistake as mom shot all three boys in flash

And as they lay wounded and screaming

She finished each of them off with a coup de grace

The whole thing was investigated but no charges were ever brought

And the State Line Killings remain an unsolved mystery

 

 

Although I never met either of them I was aware of a beautiful Jewess

Who lived with her Orthodox husband at Haddocks Farm

She was much admired by the menfolk of the town

Which caused some friction  although she was not to blame

So not everybody was not totally upset after the killing at the farm

There are many different stories but I believe my cousins

It seems that Miriam (her name) had been conducting an affair

With one of the seasonal workers that they employed at harvest

At first it was secretive but they grew careless and were soon discovered

It seems that her husband had suffered a flat on his way to town

And had returned to the farm so that he could ring the garage

He discovered them naked in bed together in their lovemaking

A fight between the seasonal worker and the husband developed

Which was unfair contest as the man of the fields was much stronger

The husband was left stunned on the floor and when he had recovered his senses

He saw his wife (who was still naked) holding his gun in her slim hands

She pumped three bullets into him and left him to die

His body was not discovered until late the following day

By then his wife and her lover were long gone and have faded into history

There are various versions of this story none better and the other

The farm remains empty to this day and is said to be haunted
