Letra de The Ballad of Belle Gunness
The Ballad of Belle Gunness1 begins after the flames.
[They] sifted through the ashes for her family's remains.
Three children and her body all had been claimed,
but Belle's was found to be headless.
The farmhand, Joe Maxson2, said for their lives he cried,
but he couldn't wake their slumber, no matter how he tried.
He howled but they could not hear him inside;
for some reason they were down in the cellar.
[Chorus]
Hell's Belle Gunness, the Black Widow of the heartland,
she and love will never be together.
A sick, twisted joker; her heart beats in wild rapture.
They all came to stay forever.
Sheriff Smutzer's3 man was the inquiring kind.
He wondered the reason Belle's head they couldn't find.
Soon the mystery began to unwind.
All they had to do was ask questions.
Apparently Belle wrote her last will a day before,
afraid her life was not too safe anymore.
A jealous man she personally threw out her door
promised he'd return and burn her house down.
[Chorus]
They found Ray Lamphere4 drunk and dirty on the street,
blood stains on his shirt, he claimed to ‘em from meat.
The murder rap and arson he swore he’d beat.
He said the murderer was Belle and he’d prove it.
He led them to a farm and an area so big.
He told them how they did it, and make amends, to dig.
He said there were many others,
but they were fed to the pigs,
but all he did was help her ‘cause he loved her.
[Chorus]
And now the Ballad of Belle Gunness takes yet another turn.
Her past was researched and the things they learned.
A fortune in life insurance claims she’d earned,
but still that didn’t explain all the killing.
She had poisoned two ex-husbands,
two of her children the same,
and ‘most every other body
played a brief stint in her game:
A lonely heart’s answer
searching for a new last name,
that many a lonely rich men are too willing.
[Chorus]
You see: Belle’s God was money.
At the beck she would kill.
Some even say she’s alive still
preying on another man’s vulnerable will.
Well her ace, it's in the Illinois State prison.
And I know why she left.
Now from me she is afraid
I never heard from my brother
since the trip to her in May.
She knows now I’m coming
for a debt to be paid,
and when I find her
She knows I’m going to kill her.
[Chorus]
She knows he came to stay forever.
