Music by:  D.M. Blackthorn

Lyrics by:  D.M. Blakchtorn, The Great Gozloeone, & Rev. Flint Fancy

Meter / Style:  Blues

Story:  Olga Hess - the original headless woman.  This is her story.  You can still see her today on the midway.

Lyrics:

We found her dancing on the midway,
The day the Ferris Wheel rolled away
No one ever found her head –
We think it might have landed in the bay

Kept alive by a miracle of science
& a weird living and breathing appliance
Though she was born and lived like you or I,
For some strange reason she now cannot die –
This headless woman

We found a letter in her pocket
From some guy, the writing was a mess
The one thing we could make out –
It was addressed to “my dear Olga Hess”

The scientists quarreled and bickered on that day
Challenging her existence in every way
How could such a woman live on without a head?
Surely, oh surely, oh surely she must be dead –
This headless woman

Of her friends and family none stepped forth
I dare say they could not see what she’s worth
And so she joined our evil caravan
To dance among the damned

Kept alive by a miracle of science
& a weird living and breathing appliance
Though she was born and lived like you or I,
For some strange reason she now cannot die –
This headless woman
