Mrs Johnstone
Tell me it's not true
Say it's just a story
Narrator
So did y' hear the story
Of the Johnstone twins?
As like each other as two new pins
Of one womb born, on the self same day
How one was kept and one given away?
And did you never hear how the Johnstone's died?
Never knowing that they shared one name
Till the day they died, when a mother cried
My own dear sons lie slain.
An did y' never hear of the mother so cruel
There's a stone in place of her heart?
Then bring her on and come judge for yourselves
How she came to play this part
Tell me it's not true
Say it's just a story
