The Ripper Tramp from France

Sadistic killer Joseph Vacher has long been forgotten

But compared to Jack the Ripper

Joseph's deeds could be more rotten

He joined the French army, but complaints from other men

Sent him to the doctors for some observations

He met a woman on sick leave that he had selected

Proposed and had a temper tantrum when he was rejected

Joseph shot the woman three times but she lived

He shot his head and lived and made his face repulsive

CHORUS

The ripper tramp from France

With his murder prance advance

Upon his innocent victims

Who never had a chance

The ripper tramp from France

Was in an evil trance

Wandering around and killing

Whenever he got the chance

Joseph was committed to an insane asylum

They declared him cured in a year

Then they discharged him

So one month later he went out to fill his murder needs

Became a tramp and committed atrocities

He carried with him scissors plus a cleaver and some knives

And mutilated victims as he roamed the countryside

The doctors said that he was cured and so they set him free

Which allowed the ripper tramp from France to do his evil deeds

(CHORUS)

From 1894 to 1897

The repulsive drifting tramp killed and raped at least eleven

A woman gathering pine cones caught Joseph Vacher's eye

Her family heard her screaming or else she would have died

Her neighbors and her family subdued the crazy man

They overpowered Joseph and then dragged him to the inn

Soon after he confessed to a lot of murdering

They sentenced him to death and he was guillotined

(CHORUS)
