about

The infamous femme fatale Evelyn Dick evaded the noose in the sensational 1946 torso murder of her husband in Hamilton. But she
went to prison for killing her infant son, whose body was found encased in
cement in a suitcase. Dick was paroled in the late 1950s and it’s not known
what became of her or if she is still alive (at the age of 94).

lyrics

EVELYN
(By Mark McNeil)
Evelyn, oh Evelyn
It’s been a very long time
Since you went away from here
With your cigarette and big doe eyes
Your cigarette and big doe eyes

Evelyn, oh Evelyn
It’s time to get it off your chest
How your husband got carved up
And your baby encased in cement
your baby encased in cement

Evelyn, Oh Evelyn Dick
You were so pretty just a little bit sick
Tell me one thing, one thing, one:
How could you Mrs. Dick?
How could you Mrs. Dick?

Evelyn, oh Evelyn
They say you liked to entertain
All the wealthy men in town
Would stop by your apartment on James
Would stop by your apartment on James

Evelyn, oh Evelyn
Eleven years you did serve
I hear you got married again
And I hope it went better than the first
And I hope it went better than the first

Evelyn, Oh Evelyn Dick
You were so pretty but a little bit sick
Tell me one thing, one thing, one:
How could you Mrs. Dick?
How could you Mrs. Dick?
