My mother has killed me
My father is eating me,
My brothers and sisters sit under the table,
Picking up my bones,
And they bury them under the cold marble stones.
我的母亲杀了我,
我的父亲在吃我，
我的兄弟妹坐在桌旁,
收拾着我的残骸,
然后将他们埋葬在冰冷的大理石下。

Lizzie Borden took an axe,
Hit her father forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She hit her mother forty-one.
里兹·波顿拿起斧头
打了她爸爸四十下
当她看见自己所做的一切
她又打了她妈妈四十一下
