Poor Sally battered to death.


Tragedy

‘Tis the season for the reason,
the salt of human madness in the end;
poor Sally’s not for squeezin’,
Bland Billy’s badness passed amends.

For he’s taken out and used her,
on parole he was at large,
yes, he’s mistreated and abused her,
assault and battery is the charge.
