The Ballad Of Minnie Dean chords by Marlon Williams

Em G C D G EM G C D G G/F#

Em                                   C
Minnie was a mother to a hundred or more
     D      G
in Winton town

Em                                      C
Red faced mamas come a knocking on her door
      D          G          G/F#
The whole ten pounds
   D                            G         C
Winter in the south makes the heart beat slow
      Em                        D      G
But hearts beat slower in the garden below
        C                                                    Em
Then three went missing and the men started digging in the ground, the ground
                                  C                                      Em
the men started digging in the ground, three found, bring poor Minnie downtown
        D                         Em
But a woman won't hang in Winton town

G Em C D G Em G C D G D G C Em D G G/F#

Em                                        C
Hundreds in the room while Minnie stood trial
       D     G
Many more outside
Em                                   C
Minnie you're accused of a serious crime
D        G
Infanticide
      D                        G     C
The crowd all cheered as the gavel rang
           Em                     D         G
But have mercy on the soul of a woman who hangs
              C                                            Em
Then they carried her away and the crowd all followed her down
                                   C
Down, the crowd all followed her down, three found
                     Em
Everybody gathered round
    D                          Em
To see a woman hang in Winton town
    D                          Em
Oh see a woman hang in Winton town
