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

The Eagle's 'Lyin Eyes' comes to mind, but that one wasn't a black widow.

Could be fiction, but it happens often.
