Old Betty

Old Betty oh Betty did you hear what they said?
Under the floorboards the bodies laid
Putrid and rotting the smell was heavenly glazed

Old Betty oh Betty did you hear what they said?
Fifteen children was pulled out of the house
Decaying away without their digits attached

Old Betty oh Betty did you hear what they said?
You're to be hung for witchcraft
Old Betty oh Betty why are you laughing?

Is Old Betty a real person from history? An interesting piece. Macabre.
