The Ballad of Lucy Lorie
Is there anybody out there
Going to listen to my story
It's all about a girl
Who ran away
She changed her name from Lorie Loo
To Lucy Lorie
Because everyone knew
The dirty games she'd play
She would find a man and love him
For his money
And tell them they would stay together
For evermore
But then she'd steal their riches
And she'd bury them in ditches
Then she'd run away and change her name
Again, once more
So, they called her Lucy Lorie
But she was really Lorie Loo
And her reputation as a crook
Had really grown
But there's truth about Ms. Lorie
In this fact-based fiction story
Yes, there's really women out there
That have been known
