19. "The Ballad of Mary Phagan" Little Mary Phagan She left her home one day; She went to the pencil-factory To see the big parade. She left her home at eleven She kissed her mother good-by; Not one time did the poor child think That she was a-going to die. Leo Frank he met her With a brutish heart, we know; He smiled, and said, "Little Mary, You won't go home no more." --- as reproduced by F.B. Snyder in The Journal of American Folk-Lore , 1918
