Mary Anne Wheeler and other Historic Crimes of Passion

 

 She sought her man

He’d done her wrong

She found that man on Grand Avenue at High Noon,

drinking with his mates

She drew her weapon, She wanted revenge

He laughed it off

He was a Fireman, He’d seen it all

Love ’em, Leave ’em, often knocked up.

She screamed his Name, calling him plenty of His own.

She shot him down.

Like her daddy taught her, One Shot to the Head.
That Man he fell. Deader than dirt.
Arrested she was,
But at her Trial, They set her free.
Found a Dentist to do an Abortion, and set her free.
Here the REAL Life tale of Milwaukee’s Past and of how Sweet Mary Anne extracted revenge in 19th century Milwaukee, and was given back her life by the Cities elite.
