Executed on the gallows, Sept 6, 1833

A roguishly handsome fellow was he

Arriving from France for the family Sayre

He worked for them as a common laborer

Antoine resented his work, his bed in the shed

It would not soon be long before all were struck dead

Beating both Mr. and Mrs. Sayre with a shovel

He buried them both in the manure by his hovel

12 thousand people were present at his death

The majority were women who saw him draw his last breath
