Ass Ponys - Julia Pastrana lyrics

Poor woman the people exclaimed When julia pastrana was first shown They marveled and pitied her fate Covered with dark hair from top to toe But she was of exceptional mind And a suitor soon asked for her hand She accepted the proposal in kind Despite the misgivings of good friends She said he loves me for my own sake They were married and traveled the states And soon they were blessed with a child But he suffered his poor mother's fate And lived but only a short while And poor julia was injured inside And soon followed her son to the grave Her husband had them mummified And toured until he went insane She said he loves me for my own sake
