This is the story of Anna
Månsdotter
Who with her son and fellow plotter
Slew his wife, Hanna Johansdotter
For Anna Månsdotter thought herself

Anna Månsdotter was led to
slaughter
And though they might instead have shot
her
The chopping block her crime had got
her
To this day Swedes have not forgot
her
