Текст песни Lizzie Borden - Alma Cogan
Yesterday
in
old
Fall
River
Mr.
Andrew
Borden
died
And
he
got
his
daughter,
Lizzie
On
a
charge
of
homicide
Some
folks
say
she
didn't
do
it
And
others
say
of
course
she
did
But
they
all
agree,
Miss
Lizzie
B
Was
a
problem
kinda
kid
'Cause
you
can't
chop
your
Papa
up
in
Massachausetts
Not
even
if
it's
planned
As
a
surprise
(a
surprise)
No,
you
can't
chop
your
Papa
up
in
Massachausetts
You
know
how
neighbors
love
to
criticize
Well,
she
got
him
on
the
sofa
Where
he'd
gone
to
take
a
snooze
And
I
hope
he
went
to
Heaven
'Cause
he
wasn't
wearing
shoes
Lizzie
kinda
rearranged
him
With
a
hatchet
so
they
say
Then
she
got
her
mother
In
that
same
old
fashioned
way
But
you
can't
chop
your
Mama
up
in
Massachausettes
Not
even
if
you're
tired
of
Her
cuisine
(her
cuisine)
No
can't
chop
your
mama
up
in
Massachausetts
You
know
it's
almost
sure
to
cause
a
scene
Well,
they
really
kept
her
Hopping
on
that
busy
afternoon
With
both
down
and
upstairs
chopping
While
she
hummed
a
ragtime
tune
They
really
made
her
hustle
And
when
all
was
said
and
done
She'd
removed
her
mother's
bustle
When
she
wasn't
wearing
one
Now
can't
chop
your
Mama
up
in
Massachusetts
And
then
blame
all
the
damage
On
the
mice
(on
the
mice)
No,
you
can't
chop
your
Mama
up
in
Massachausetts
That
sort
of
thing
just
isn't
very
nice
Now
it
wasn't
done
for
pleasure
And
it
wasn't
done
for
spite
And
it
wasn't
done
because
The
lady
wasn't
very
bright
She'd
always
done
the
slightest
thing
That
mom
and
papa
bid
They
said,
Lizzie,
cut
it
out
So
that's
exactly
what
she
did
But
you
can't
chop
your
Papa
up
in
Massachausetts
And
then
get
dressed
And
go
out
for
a
walk
No,
you
can't
chop
your
Papa
up
in
Massachausetts
Massachausetts
is
a
far
cry
From
New
York
You
can't
chop
your
Papa
up
in
Massachausetts
Shut
the
door
and
lock
and
latch
it
Here
comes
Lizzie
with
a
brand
new
hatchet
You
can't
chop
your
Papa
up
in
Massachausetts
Such
a
snob
I've
heard
it
said
She
met
her
pa
and
cut
him
dead
You
can't
chop
your
Papa
up
in
Massachausetts
Jump
like
a
fish
Jump
like
a
porpoise
All
join
hands
and
habeas
corpus
You
can't
chop
your
Papa
up
in
Massachausetts
Massachausetts
is
a
far
cry
From
New
York
