Lord Executor: Seven Skeletons Found in the Yard
Hideous discoveries and monstrous crime
Always happen at the Christmastime
Hideous discoveries and monstrous crime
Always happen at the Christmastime
For the old year murders and atrocity
Was the New Year's serious calamity
What shocked Trinidad
Those seven skeletons that the workmen found in that yard
What marred the Christmas festivity
Was the New Year double catastrophe
When a man and a woman on the ground was found
With blood stains upon the ground
The husband was arrested but they were too late
For the poison he drank sent him to the Gate
That shock Trinidad
Those seven skeletons that the workmen found in that yard
In St. James the population went wild
When in the Savannah they found a child
The hair was auburn and complexion pink
Which placed the watchman in the mood to think
"How can a mother despise and scorn
A little angel that she has borne?"
That was more sad
Than the seven skeletons that the workmen found in that yard
A lorry was speeding to Port of Spain
When it knock down the cyclist into the drain
It was going as fast as a lightning flash
When the cyclist received the lash
The mother cried out in sorrows and pain
"I am not going to see my boy child again!"
That is more sad
Than the seven skeletons that the workmen found in that yard
While the workmen they were digging the ground
The grinning skulls of human beings they found
Feet together and head east and west
Number Five was a watchman among the rest
Number Six had the hands and the feet on the chest
And number Seven the mysterious guest
That shocked Trinidad
Those seven skeletons that the workmen found in that yard
Hideous discoveries and monstrous crime
Always happen at the Christmastime
Hideous discoveries and monstrous crime
Always happen at the Christmastime
For the old year murders and atrocity
Was the New Year's serious calamity
What shocked Trinidad
Those seven skeletons that the workmen found in that yard
What marred the Christmas festivity
Was the New Year double catastrophe
When a man and a woman on the ground was found
With blood stains upon the ground

Those seven skeletons that the workmen found in that yard
