Current song lyrics
In the Scottish slums of Edinburgh lived a horrid pair<br />Two Irish immigrants named William Burke and William Hare<br />They ran a squalid boarding house and an old man died in there<br />Who owned four pounds rent and William Hare said that's not fair<br />So Hare and his friend Burke came up with a morbid plan<br />To make a profit from medical science's demands<br />They filled the old man's coffin with tree bark then sold the man<br />To Doctor Knoxs' medical school for dissection<br /><br />CHORUS<br />Burke and Hare were a very greedy pair<br />Selling bodies to climb their financial stairs<br />Burke and Hare lured victims to their lair<br />Selling the cadavers for pretty decent fare<br /><br />Doctor Knoxs' staff said cadaver were in demand<br />And they would pay good money for some fresh specimens<br />Still one question then remained how to acquire them<br />So once again Burke and Hare devised a greedy plan<br />They cut off the air of sickly bordered types<br />Killing the old people who couldn't put up a fight<br />For money the very greedy pair would snuff out human life<br />Then take their corpses to Doctor Knoxs' knife<br /><br />(CHORUS)<br /><br />The remaining boarders weren't sick so they couldn't take their lives<br />Then Burke and Hare decided they should go for some different types<br />They recruited Burke's mistress and Hare's common law wife<br />The women then would lure in street people in the night<br />The desperate street people went back to Burke's and Hare's lair<br />And became dissection specimens once they were inside there<br />With a steady supply of liquor the poor victims weren't prepared<br />For easy suffocation by the greedy Burke and Hare<br /><br />(CHORUS)<br /><br />Snuffing ou the homeless the quite evil pair were prone<br />But they had no qualms about killing close to home<br />Like Burke's girlfriend's cousin and a wash woman as they grown<br />Then took them to Doctor Knox who cut them to the bone<br />The last victim a woman snuffed out inside their lair<br />Two lodgers found her body and reported Burke and Hare<br />Hare blamed Burke, got off without a care<br />They hung Burke in the airr and Hare got away from there
