Sawney Bean/Sawney’s Death Dance

When I come down from Liverpool
The day was dull and bleak
I met an old seafaring man
His name was Jack McTeague
He told to me a story
About a robber mean
Who lived in a cave on the Scottish coast
And his name was Sawney Bean

Was in the reign of jolly James
In 1424
His incestuously inbred family
Patrolled the Galloway shore
They robbed the innocent travelers
But worse than that they did
For they feasted on roasted murdered mеn
And then their bones thеy hid

Then good King James he heard of this
And he sent 400 men
On hooks in the cave they found human flesh
And they took the family in
The women, they burned in the public square
But not before they'd seen
The men bleeding to death with no hands and feet
With their leader, Sawney Bean
