lyrics
Martha was murdered,
With bloodshed and fervour,
They cut off her head,
And stuffed it inside her,
Martha was murdered,
With such pain and horror,
That even her mother,
Prayed God may find her,
And she was easily led by those around her,
I won’t ask again,
Please put a flower on Martha’s grave,
Down by the river,
They found Martha’s body,
Stuffed in the briar,
Shoved in the holly,
And Martha’s young daughter,
Put pen unto paper,
Wrote her mother a letter,
Just to say that she hates her,
And she was easily led by those around her,
I won’t ask again,
Please put a flower on Martha’s grave,
And I want you to know,
That I never loved her,
And I want you to know,
That I’m glad that they killed her,
For in the end I can’t think of a single soul,
Who even liked her,
Or cared to place a flower on her grave,
And she was easily led by those around her,
I won’t ask again,
Please put a flower on Martha’s grave.
