Månsdotter
This is the story of Anna Månsdotter
Who with her son and fellow plotter
Slew his wife, Hanna Johansdotter
For Anna Månsdotter thought herself hotter
The authorities sought her, and soon after caught her
And according to the detective's blotter
The suspect, Ms. Månsdotter, thought her
Son would take the rap and not her
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
