Lizzy Borden Rhyme

[user]

This scares me yet I live close to the Lizzy Borden house

[usamiandlumineglitchstudio]

I always heard it like this...:

Lizzie Borden took an axe
She gave her mother (40) whacks
*When her job was nicely done, *
She gave her father (41)...

[SaltedPeppermintTea]

I always heard it went like this:
Lizzie Borden Took An Axe
And Gave Her Mother Forty(40) Whacks
And When She Saw What She Had Done
She Gave Her Father Forty-one
Lizzie Borden Got Away
For Her Crime She Did Not Pay.

[CircusSabre]

i remember singing the lizzie borden skipping ryhme thinking that her mother and father died of old age and got buried under trees so she cut down the trees so she could make proper gravestones for them


god i was so innocent

[shanequa]

I’ve always heard it as:

Lizzie Borden took an ax
Gave her mother 40 whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father 41.
Andrew Borden is now dead
Lizzie hit him on the head
Up in heaven he will sing
In the gallows she will swing

[buddybanjany]

Let me explain studios: this would be someone making up a cheery little kids song about the Manson murders, hm and they say we’re the twisted generation.

[confusedaf]

Lizzy Borden took an axe.
And gave her mother forty (40) whacks.
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one (41).
And if she would've found you,
she give you forty-two (42).

I heard that 50 years ago and it is still in my brain, Haunting . Thanks . Dan from Canada out .

As fR as I know, the rhyme itself emerged as a schoolyard skiiping chant. Childrens‘ playground culture can be very complex and refer to hidden historical facts. Many incidents referred to are confined to age-specific cohorts and are forgotten as children grow out of those cohorts.

Lizzy Borden took an axe
And gave her mother 40 whacks.
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father 41.
And if she would've found you,
She would give you 42.
And if she found me,
She would give me 43.

This scares the hell out of me. But I love it.

[chuckmartinez]

[lwolf]

Okay I seriously love this. The way it is kinda outta wack without really a usual (I can't think of the word but the word for when multiple people sing different notes that go together at the same time) I just find it amazing

The story is about a girl named lizzy Borden who murdered her mother with an axe and then when her father got home he took a nap and lizzy murdered him in his sleep. It's a true story and someone went to the house with a phantom phone and turned out that the mrs. Borden's ghost said it was a man named John that killed her

[yukikishimoto]

[YM_STRS]

[kirishimasmanliness]

For the ladies, if you're walking alone at night just sing this song slow, happily and creepy, I don't think anyone would be brave enough to even BREATHE the same air as you

[sallyw]
