Why, it's "The Ballad of Lizzie Borden", of course.

And looking it up, I see that I was *completely* wrong about the group.
Aargh! It was the Chad Mitchell Trio, not the Kingston Trio. (In my defense,
I did have several records from both trios as a kid.) Sorry for making you
think you should know the song!

Here's the lyrics for those who are interested.

For some reason it really bothered my parents that I knew all the words
to that song. *grin*

Geez Loueez -- which song is that? I should know it -- my DBro and I used
to sing & play guitar in coffee houses way back in the mid-60's and we did
a whole bunch of Kingston Trio songs. I should KNOW that song but it's
just not coming to me. Tell me quick and put me out of my misery!! All
together, hum in tune -- and a one and a two and a ....Shady Grove, my
little love, Shady Grove I know................... CiaoMeow ^;;^
