Sinister chronicle
Natural passing of tenant
Initiate the master scheme
Decision to sell the dead
Devious enterprise
Reaper of lives
Discharging the pledge
Habitation of evil

Accelerate death
Inflicting compression
Invitation awaits
Enter, enter! the Evil Inn

Accomodation insidious
Array of killings
Discovery of body
Exposition of identity
Concealing the truth from
Authority. Upholders of the law
Testified against
Conspirators to death

[CHORUS]

Through the close and up the stair
But and ben wi Burke and Hare
Burke's the butcher. Hares the thief
And Knox the boy who buys the beef
Up the close and down the stair
In the house with Burke and Hare
Burke's the butcher. Hare's the thief
Knox. the man who buys the beef

Brought to face the herd
Correction of justice
Aquitted as a favour
Freedom to a price
Thrown into a pit of lime
A penniless pauper
Worthless to the bone
Turning beggar!

[CHORUS]
