When I think back, almost all the songs my dad sung me were about horrible things happening to people.
One in particular sticks out in my head;
Ash Wednesday, Shrove Tuesday, When Jack went to school, His mother made pancakes And wasn't she a fool. She baked them, she burnt them And made them so black And packed them with pepper And poisoned poor Jack

Ash Wednesday, Shrove Tuesday,
When Jack went to school,
His mother made pancakes
And wasn't she a fool.
She baked them, she burnt them
And made them so black
And packed them with pepper
And poisoned poor Jack
All sung in a lilting happy tune.
