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
